      Today, we’re here to introduce a key feature of the Reolink Altas PT and Altas PT Ultra: Pre-Motion Recording. This functionality ensures critical moments are captured before motion is detected, providing a more comprehensive view of events. Below is a guide to how it works and how to configure it.
      What Is Pre-Motion Recording?
      Reolink’s Pre-Motion Recording starts capturing footage 10 seconds before motion is detected, addressing potential delays in traditional motion-triggered recording. This ensures the full context of an event is recorded, even if environmental factors (e.g., PIR sensor limitations) delay detection.
      Key Details:

      • Compatible with SD cards, FTP, and cloud storage (not available for email alerts).
      • Balances battery life and storage efficiency by avoiding 24/7 recording.

      Configuration Guide
      Setup via the Reolink App:

      1. Enable Pre-Recording Mode
        • Open the Reolink App → Select your camera → Navigate to Settings → Camera Recording → Toggle Pre-Recording Mode on.
      2. Adjust Frame Rate
        • Default: 5 FPS (optimized for battery efficiency).
        • Optional: Increase to 10 FPS for smoother footage (note: raises power consumption by 40-50%).
        • Battery Saver: Pre-recording automatically disables if the battery drops below 20% (adjustable threshold).
      3. Schedule Settings
        • Select Schedule → Choose Always On for continuous use or Custom to specify active hours/days (e.g., disable pre-recording on weekends).

      Use Cases for Pre-Recording

      • Incomplete Event Capture: Resolves delays in motion detection, ensuring recordings start earlier.
      • Extended Monitoring: Suitable for users needing continuous coverage without frequent battery replacements.
      • Limited PIR Range: Compensates for shorter detection distances by capturing footage prior to trigger.

      Notes for Argus PT Ultra Users
      This model supports three frame rate modes:

      • Stream Mode (default for live viewing).
      • Smart Battery Mode (adjusts based on battery level).
      • Pre-Recording Mode (prioritized in low-frame-rate scenarios).

      Note: During live viewing or triggered alerts, the frame rate defaults to Stream Mode.

      If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please contact Reolink Support.

            @reolink-oskar I have the Argus PT Ultra Motion-Tracking version with FW 3.0.0.4486_24122645 and there is no pre-recording option.

            Out of curiosity, does it work the same as it does on the Altas?... the camera does not go into standby?
