Who Reolink is
A maker of smart cameras built on a simple promise: security with no hidden fees.
Reolink (Reolink Innovation Inc.) has been around since 2009 and is today one of the most recognisable consumer-surveillance brands. Its cameras and recorders are used by millions of homes and businesses across more than 110 countries, and the slogan "Be Prepared, Be Ahead" captures the brand's philosophy: give people a simple way to keep an eye on what matters to them.
What sets Reolink apart is its "local first" approach: recordings go to a microSD card, an NVR or a Home Hub — with no mandatory cloud and no monthly fees just to access your own footage. That's exactly the value behind ReoMac: your cameras are your business, and the footage doesn't have to travel through someone else's servers.
Reolink camera families
From battery-powered wireless cameras to wired PoE systems with a recorder — Reolink has a model for almost every scenario. ReoMac focuses on giving them all a shared, native viewer on the Mac.
Battery and wireless cameras
The Argus and Go series — mounted cable-free in minutes. Go models connect over 4G/LTE where there's no WiFi. Connectivity built on P2P — ideal for ReoMac.
Solar powered
Most battery cameras work with the Reolink solar panel, which keeps them charged without a socket — the camera runs for months hands-free.
PoE (wired) cameras
The RLC series — a single network cable carries both power and footage. Stable streams from 4K to 12MP for round-the-clock recording to an NVR.
WiFi cameras
The E1 series and ColorX models — compact plug-in cameras that connect to your home WiFi. Many of them pan and tilt.
PTZ cameras (pan and zoom)
Altas, TrackMix and the RLC-823A — they pan 355°, tilt and zoom, and some track movement in frame on their own. ReoMac controls PTZ with a virtual pad.
Dual-lens cameras
The Duo and Argus 4 series combine two lenses into a single wide, panoramic frame up to 180° — fewer cameras, greater coverage.
Video doorbells
Reolink video doorbells (WiFi and PoE) with a view of the door and two-way audio — plugged into the same ecosystem as the rest of the cameras.
Floodlight cameras
Floodlight models combine bright LED lights with a camera — deterring intruders while lighting the scene for full-colour footage at night.
NVR and Home Hub
RLN recorders and the Home Hub gather footage from multiple cameras in one place, encrypted and cloud-free — the heart of a local Reolink system.
What Reolink cameras can do
The brand is known for a handful of features that genuinely change the quality of surveillance — from colour at night to recording from before the moment of an event.
ColorX — colour at night
A bright f/1.0 lens and a large sensor deliver full-colour footage after dark with no spotlight and no infrared — and on battery cameras they save power.
Smart detection
AI analysis tells a person, vehicle and animal apart, cutting down false alarms. Newer models also detect packages left at the door.
Pre-event recording
Altas-series cameras record up to 10 seconds of footage before motion triggers them — no more "clipped" starts typical of battery cameras.
Auto-tracking
PTZ and dual-lens models (TrackMix, Altas PT Ultra, RLC-823A) pan and zoom on their own to keep the subject in frame.
Sharp 4K and beyond
Resolutions from 2K through 4K/8MP up to 12MP — enough detail to read a number plate or recognise a face, even after zooming in.
Local recording, zero subscription
microSD up to 512 GB, a Home Hub with AES-256 encryption or an NVR — recordings stay with you, with no monthly cloud fees.

Like every Reolink battery camera, the Altas PT Ultra exposes no standard RTSP/ONVIF streams — it connects only over its own P2P protocol, to save battery. That's precisely why you need a client that speaks its language. ReoMac does it natively. (* Battery life depends on recording settings — figures are indicative, per Reolink.)
Where ReoMac comes in
Reolink makes great cameras. ReoMac gives them the viewer your Mac deserves — native, lightweight and 100% local.
Reolink battery cameras — Argus, Go, and the Altas PT Ultra in particular — use neither RTSP nor ONVIF. They speak only their own P2P protocol by UID, so they don't waste battery on a constant stream. For most surveillance apps that simply means "camera not supported".
ReoMac speaks that language inside out. It connects to the camera directly — on the local network or over P2P — and turns its stream into smooth playback on the Mac, with no cloud, no account and no intermediary servers. Not a single frame of footage leaves your network.
Directly by UID
ReoMac connects to the camera by its identifier — working even with battery models without RTSP/ONVIF, like the Altas PT Ultra.
Native Swift, not Electron
Built for Apple Silicon, the app launches in a blink and uses a fraction of the CPU and RAM of a typical browser-based client.
Full PTZ control
Pan, tilt and zoom Altas or TrackMix cameras with a virtual pad — straight from the viewer's control bar.
100% local
Footage, recordings and access credentials stay on your Mac and in your network. In keeping with Reolink's own "no subscription" philosophy.
