AI features on security cameras, such as video search and summarization, often require subscriptions to cloud-based services. Reolink has another idea. The ReoLink AI Box, announced at CES, uses the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q8-series chip for local AI processing, providing camera users with advanced data security and offline access.
Some Reolink cameras, like the TrakFlex Floodlight, already run AI on-device, but the new AI Hub is “seamlessly integrated” into Reolink’s broader product ecosystem, making this option available across a wider selection of products. Reolink has not yet specified a price or release date, but said in its announcement that the following features will be available:
●Signal-based alerts: Define your own detection logic and trigger alerts. Instead of simple motion triggers, you can create intelligent rules using natural language.
●AI Video Search Plus: Now provides much higher accuracy. Simply type in a natural phrase like “man in red jacket” and get accurate, context-aware matches instantly.
●Event description: ReoNeuraAI automatically interprets scenes, describes key events, and ranks their importance at four attention levels.
●Smart Summary: It generates automated, AI-powered summaries of your security footage with key trends, insights and risk analyses.
Reolink also announced several new security cameras, including a new “power-efficient” series that offers longer battery life. It also features OMVI series pan-tilt cameras with a triple-lens system that offers 24-megapixel resolution with 360-degree pan, 140-degree tilt, and 16x optical zoom. It will automatically track moving people, vehicles and animals.
The company has also introduced a new Solar Floodlight Cam that includes a 1000-lumen floodlight with a 3W solar panel and a 4-megapixel, 150-degree-wide-angle camera. Reolink says it’s designed to last a whole day with just one hour of sunlight. A backup rechargeable battery can power the camera for up to three months.
