Reolink Unveils AI-Powered Security Camera with Advanced Features at IFA 2025

Reolink's New Security Cams Are Packed With AI Features, and We Can't Wait to Test

Expertise Smart home | Smart security | Home tech | Energy savings | A/V Home security companies are currently in an arms race to equip their security cameras with the latest AI features, like automatic searching through video or customizable object detection. Reolink's turn at IFA (Innovation for All) in Berlin showed just how far the security brand has come with its own AI, now called ReoNeura and sporting several important advances. I've been testing security cam AI features for a few years now and ReoNeura has several familiar features that act as huge upgrades for home security systems, as long as you don't mind AI keeping an eye on your recorded videos and other content. When Reolink announced its AI improvements in July, it focused on automatic video searching, where its AI could look through video clips and identify objects for faster analysis. Now at IFA, the security company is added onto that in two important ways: Reolink also announced a new camera to take advantage of these AI extras, and it's a powerhouse. The TrackFlex Floodlight camera is a Wi-Fi model with a 4K dual lens (telephoto and wide-angle) that's also pan/tilt, giving users an extra-clear 360-degree vision with 270-degree motion detection -- including auto-rotating when it senses movement at the edges. The LED floodlight panels shine at 3,000 lumens and can switch color temperatures. This cam is a great example of how Reolink treads the line between residential and commercial security cameras with models suitable for either purpose. If you want an extra-powerful camera, you can pre-order it here for about $200. I'm working on getting my hands on a test model. For more security camera goodness, take a look at my recommendations for indoor cameras and outdoor cameras so you can see what's available.

Reolink's new floodlight cam has 360 vision and on-device AI

Reolink has announced the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi at IFA 2025, the security tech provider's new hardwired dual-lens floodlight camera for monitoring any concerns outside your home. Video is recorded at 4K resolution with a choice of wide or telephoto views. The pan-tilt controls provide 360-degree coverage and 270-degree out-of-field motion detection, with the latter enabling it to automatically rotate to capture movement before the subjects enter the camera's frame, according to Reolink. The dual adjustable floodlights provide up to 3000 lumens of light and can be customized to warm and cool color temperatures, allowing users to choose the setting that works best for their lighting or aesthetic requirements. It also comes with local AI Video Search built in, with 512GB of local storage for recordings, allowing users to quickly locate notable events. As the name suggests, the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi supports Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, alongside smart home integrations, customizable voice alerts, and a 110dB siren to deter suspicious people away from your property. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but the inclusion of local AI search is interesting -- most rival products provide similar video search capabilities through the cloud, and charge a subscription to do so. We'll have to see if Reolink is bucking the trend.

Reolink continues innovating with two new major product launches at IFA 2025

IFA 2025 is one of the biggest tech expos of the year, held annually in Berlin, and security camera specialist Reolink is using the opportunity to introduce two new innovative products to its range: the Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi Camera, and ReoNeura, a new AI-powered technology designed to improve user safety and security. Both these products fit in with Reolink's stated mission, to raise the bar for the affordable surveillance cameras you can get for your home, and to continually improve smart security protections for home owners. Starting with ReoNeura, it's set to add an extra layer of artificial intelligence on top of Reolink's security cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and cloud services, making them smarter and easier to use (it's also worth noting the AI offered by Arlo and Ring is limited to the cloud only). With ReoNeura in place, the number of missed events and false alerts you see should drop right down, and it's going to make scrubbing through hours of footage more straightforward too. The AI is able to understand what's actually in your footage, whether it's the color of cars or the sighting of pets. You can use natural language to interact with it, so you can look for a "white SUV" or a "delivery guy" and be instantly understoodâ€"think about how much time you'd need to spend searching through clips otherwise. This is either available locally, or through a cloud subscription, depending on the camera. What's more, on NVRs with AI capabilities, ReoNeura will throw up some suggestions for you, based on what it's seen: Choose from clothing, colors, and vehicle types, for example, to dig deep into your video archive. It also works seamlessly across multiple video feeds, if you have several Reolink cameras set up. While ReoNeura has been up and running for a couple of months for Reolink customers, a couple of new AI innovations are being announced for the system at IFA 2025. The first is Smart Detection , which means Reolink cameras will be better than ever at spotting picking out people, animals, vehicles, bikes, and parcels from your video feeds. The idea is you get alerts about everything you need to know about, and nothing that can be safely ignored. This is helped with custom zones and schedules, so you can tell your Reolink cameras exactly which parts of the frame to focus on, and whenâ€"maybe you don't want a flurry of alerts when your kids are playing at home, for example. Smart Detection is also adding the ability to recognize events in more detail: For example, you can get alerts when a parcel is left, and when someone picks it up. It means a much greater level of fine-tuning for your video feeds, whether you're reviewing video feed archives or setting up real-time alerts on your phone. For businesses, there's AI-powered Customer Flow Analysis. It means getting detailed reports about the number of people entering, exiting, and passing through a specific area over timeâ€"so trends can be analyzed in detail. ReoNeura-enabled NVRs can provide 24-hour heat maps to show where footfall is highest, providing key data that can inform the best use of space in a store or area. Even more functionality is added via the Zone Crowd Monitoring feature, which does the job of people counting for you: Get instant readings on how many people are in each location, and instant alerts when limits are exceeded, reducing congestion and improving flow. All this is showcased in a new business product line called the Professional Series. Add it all together, together with more features in the pipeline, and you've got AI video analysis that's cleverer than ever beforeâ€"and Reolink says it's committed to keeping the improvements coming across it's existing cameras and new products as they're launched. Which brings us neatly to... Reolink has found room in its already crowded product line-up for the Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi, a weatherproofed outdoor home security camera being launched at IFA 2025 that brings with it a 4K Ultra HD resolution, granular panning and tilting control, and a triple passive infrared sensor (PIR) array, providing 270° out-of-field motion detectionâ€"essentially covering all your home surveillance needs, day or night. One of the ways the hardwired camera stands out is in the coverage it gives you: With movement controlled manually through the Reolink app or automatically through the automatic tracking detection, you get full 360-degree coverage of the space that the camera is installed in. There are no blind spots here, and if you need to take a closer look then up to 6x hybrid zoom is available too. That's just the start. The integrated floodlight system offers up to a super-strong 3000 lumens of brightness, with the option of both warm (3000K) and cool (6000K) color temperaturesâ€"sure to put off even the most inquisitive of trespassers, human or animal, especially when combined with the customizable voice recordings you can set up. Again, all of this can be configured as needed through the app. Smart lighting modes are available here too, so you can have the lights triggered by motion, or scheduled based on the time of day, or set them to work with the ambient light sensors to turn on and off as darkness descends or disappears again. They're just as suitable for an evening meal outside as they are for illuminating potential security threats. See TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi at Reolink As you would expect, the latest ReoNeura AI features come built right in, so you've got some smart help with scrolling through your video feeds and customizing your alerts in exactly the way you want them. Video storage can be handled via a memory card, a Reolink Hub, or an FTP or NAS system. The new products represent another notable step forward for Reolink, now serving millions of customers worldwide with its home security kit. TrackFlex is now available to pre-order, and starting today, if you subscribe via the landing page, you can get a 10% early-bird discount code.

Reolink's New Floodlight Camera Uses Sensors and AI to Detect Where It Can't See

Reolink rolled out a new smart home security camera at IFA 2025 that the company says can see beyond its dual camera lenses. It's called the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi, and it looks kind of like the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, a camera I recently reviewed, but with a ball-shaped camera housing that rotates to see things that three sensors above them have detected. This sensor-based approach gives the camera a 270-degree detection range at any given time, according to a press release that Reolink emailed to Gizmodo. The three motion sensors wrap around the front and sides of the unit. A representative I spoke with at Reolink's IFA booth suggested installing the camera on the corner of your home, surveying a driveway that stretches from the street to a garage farther back, a scene impossible for one fixed-view camera to coverâ€"the TrackFlex could detect that a car is entering the driveway, swivel to face it, then watch it as it drives to the garage. Like other Reolink cameras, this one stores recordings locally, either with microSD cards (up to 512GB) or Reolink's NVR and Home Hub devices. Saving videos to a network-attached storage (NAS) device via FTP is also an option. This is Reolink, so expect to be assaulted with options in the company's app. As for the TrackFlex's dual cameras, they're not recording one broad field of view like the Elite Floodlight WiFi. Instead, one is a standard wide view while the other is a 6x zoom, capable of capturing a lot more zoomed-in detail than the wide lens can. The two floodlights looked exactly like those of the Elite, and can articulate to point up or down, or to bathe a wider area in light. They also offer the same brightness and temperature adjustment as the Elite. The camera uses the company's new local AI system called ReoNeura Core, which enables the TrackFlex to do the same sorts of natural language video search that we're seeing with a lot of other connected-camera AI systems. (See SwitchBot's new AI Hub.) So, if you want to search your locally stored video for a moment, like when a person with a brown shirt walked into your garage last, you can do that. The Reolink rep I spoke with took me to a pair of displays that showed me what was happening behind the scenes. On the left, it was a view of what a user might see while using the event notifications screen; you see the camera's live feed. While on the right, a list of events with descriptions that were mostly pretty accurateâ€"there were people interacting at a convention, and others were walking around in the backgroundâ€"but it got some details wrong. We weren't at an outdoor event, for example (although it was quite bright in there). Meanwhile, on the right, the screen showed individual characteristics of the things the model was identifying. Seeing everyone broken down by their attributes had a very police-station-surveillance vibe. ReoNeuro identified one person as a middle-aged male wearing a green, short-sleeve shirt, along with a hat and a bag. In the bottom panel, another middle-aged maleâ€"although that person definitely looked younger than me, and I'm still in my prime, I swearâ€"is identified as wearing a long-sleeve shirt with pants, both blue, and as having short hair. All of that detail is effectively keywords for your searches later, and they all seem like things you'd type if you're looking for specific events that you know the TrackFlex recorded. But woof, it's more than a little unnerving to see this in action, and it felt a little off-key to have a Reolink rep so proudly showing it to me. It's great that this is all happening on device, as I'd rather that than have it happening in a cloud server over which I have no control. It's convenient and there's no doubt that I want the convenience of casually searching my footage, but that sure didn't stop seeing how the sausage is made from giving me the willies.

Reolink jumps on the AI home security train at the IFA trade show

The security cam manufacturer says its new AI allows users search camera recordings with natural-language queries. It has a new 4K floodlight cam, too. Reolink is showing two new products at the IFA trade show in Berlin this week. Well, make that one new product and what it promises is a big leap forward in the AI engine powering its latest home security cameras and select NVRs (Network Video Recorders). With ReoNeura, Reolink's gext-gen AI security system, Reolink says it's committed to "delivering user-centric smart security solutions that set new standards for modern surveillance." That's a big claim, considering how unimpressed we were with its earlier Local AI Video Search in our review of the otherwise excellent Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi. Given that that software was released in beta form shortly before we finished our review of that otherwise excellent product, we didn't let it stop us from naming the $220 floodlight cam an Editors' Choice winner. The fact that this AI processing can occur on the camera itself or on some Reolink NVRs without requiring a subscription is immensely appealing. That said, Reolink says AI processing that is performed in the cloud "unlocks advanced AI capabilities without hardware upgrades." Reolink's promise is that users will be able to use natural-language queries to search a camera's video recordings to find specific events, eliminating the need to scrub through hours of events to find the ones you care about. Entering prompts such as "white SUV," "person wearing a hat," or "man in red shirt" should immediately surface clips with those elements in them. ReoNeura is supposed to go far beyond that to enable a wide range of advanced capabilities, including person, pet, and object detection that goes beyond identifying packages to being able to differentiate cars and bicycles as well as boxes. A "smart event detection" feature, meanwhile, will also notify you when an object has been removed from its field of view or if a door has been left opened. Perimeter protection feature gives the camera the ability to actively detect and deter unauthorized access to a property, including loiterers. A video captioning feature can automatically summarize video recordings into plain-language summaries, so you don't need to watch an entire clip to discern what happened. Reolink's ReoNeura technology will be available on several existing security cameras, including the Reolink Duo 3 WiFi we reviewed in January 2025, the aforementioned Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, and, of course, the new TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi. Where the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi has dual 4K cameras in a fixed-position body, the new TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi has dual 4K lenses mounted to a motor that can pan them 355 degrees and tilt 50 degrees to cover even more territory. (For this camera, Reolink defines 4K as 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, and the camera records at 20 frames per second.) Local storage is also available, either in the form of a user-supplied microSD card in capacities as high as 512GB or via Reolink's Home Hub product or one of its NVRs. The Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi Camera is outfitted with dual dimmable LED floodlights that deliver up to 3,000 lumens of brightness that can project as far as 40 feet. Their white color temperature can be tuned from a warm 3,000 degrees Kelvin to a crisp 6,000K. We'll have a complete hands-on review of the Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi Camera as soon as we can get a review sample.

Reolink's TrackFlex and ReoNeura AI tackle home security's biggest frustration

AI-powered video search lets you easily find specific footage, while intelligent tracking provides complete coverage from a single camera Home security cameras have always suffered from the same problem - they're brilliant at recording everything, but not so great at helping you quickly and easily find anything useful later. At least, until now. Reolink has tackled this problem head-on, with two new products launching at IFA 2025 - ReoNeura AI technology and the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi camera. Instead of fast-forwarding through hours of footage looking for that delivery van or wondering when your cat escaped the garden, you can simply ask the system to show you what you need. It sounds simple enough, but it could also change how we think about home security. Excited? Us too. Here's more info: ReoNeura is Reolink's answer to the eternal problem of finding specific footage in days or weeks of recordings. Instead of scrubbing through endless video files, you can search using simple commands. Type "white car" or "person carrying umbrella," for example, and the system pulls up relevant clips within seconds. In addition to Local AI Video Search, Reolink also offers a cloud-based feature called AI Video Search +. It allows devices that don't support Local AI Video Search to access the same functionality through a cloud subscription. ReoNeura also now includes cloud-based Video Captioning that automatically converts footage into clear, natural-language summaries, letting you understand what happened at a glance without watching entire clips. Smart Event Detection (Beta) also tracks deliveries and detects when objects appear or disappear, sending alerts that genuinely matter, rather than needlessly distracting you with generic motion notifications. The clever bit is that all this processing happens on the camera itself, powered by on-device AI that ensures your footage never leaves your property - a major win for privacy enthusiasts. The tech can also distinguish between people, bikes, vehicles, animals, and parcels, building up a searchable index of everything it sees. For busy homeowners, this could be a massive time-saver. Whether you're checking on elderly relatives, monitoring pet activity, or investigating that mysterious noise from last night (thanks, foxes), ReoNeura's search functionality comfortably beats the traditional approach of manually scrolling through recordings. The TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi is where Reolink puts this AI technology to work, with the world's first 4K 360-degree PTZ floodlight camera with local AI Video search. The system uses two lenses working in tandem - a 4K wide-angle camera covering 104° horizontally, plus a telephoto lens offering 6× hybrid zoom across a narrower 38° field of view. The wide lens keeps tabs on everything in view, while the zoom lens automatically tracks anything interesting - people, cars, or animals that trigger the motion detection. It's a neat solution to the usual trade-off between broad coverage and detailed close-ups. What sets TrackFlex apart, though, is its seamless integration of security functionality with everyday utility. The system's 3,000-lumen floodlights aren't just there to scare off nefarious intruders - they also double up as adaptive lighting solutions that enhance your outdoor ambience. In other words, you can customise the floodlight's brightness and adjust its colour temperature (ranging from warm 3,000K ambient lighting to crisp 6,000K security illumination), to easily help effortlessly transition between welcoming guests and deterring intruders. The marriage of ReoNeura AI and TrackFlex hardware creates a security ecosystem that learns and adapts. The system's 360° smart tracking automatically follows detected subjects, while its 270° out-of-view detection ensures comprehensive coverage even when the camera is focused elsewhere. A triple PIR sensor array also provides additional awareness, triggering camera rotation and illumination when movement is detected beyond the current field of view - the system can even capture off-screen movement by auto-rotating to record before subjects enter the frame, ensuring that nothing is ever missed. This intelligent automation extends to threat prevention, where the system can differentiate between family members, delivery personnel, and potential intruders, responding appropriately with customisable alerts, voice warnings, or silent monitoring. The 110dB siren and personalised voice messaging provide immediate deterrence, while smartphone notifications keep you informed regardless of location. For households with varying schedules and outdoor activities, TrackFlex's dual lighting modes also prove invaluable. Lighting mode provides scheduled ambient illumination for daily activities - perfect for evening walks with pets, or outdoor family gatherings. Alert mode also handily delivers immediate security responses with flashing or steady light activation, based on AI detection results. Beneath TrackFlex's intelligent features lies a robust technical infrastructure designed for long-term reliability. Wi-Fi 6 connectivity with dual-band support ensures consistent performance across varying network conditions, while WPA3 encryption provides enterprise-level security for your data transmissions. The system's storage flexibility accommodates different user preferences and technical setups. Local storage supports up to 512GB microSD cards for immediate recording access, while compatibility with Reolink's NVR systems and third-party FTP/NAS solutions provides scalable archive options. Importantly, all AI processing occurs locally, ensuring privacy while eliminating ongoing subscription costs. A major win in an era where everything is being sold as a monthly service. Elsewhere, weather resistance meets IP66 standards, ensuring reliable operation through seasonal extremes, while the system's versatile mounting options accommodate diverse installation requirements. Whether mounted on exterior walls, under eaves, or on dedicated posts, TrackFlex's adjustable positioning ensures optimal coverage for any property layout. Modern security systems shouldn't exist in isolation, and Reolink recognises this reality through thoughtful integration capabilities. Google Assistant compatibility enables voice control of lighting and live viewing functions, while the system's ONVIF compliance ensures compatibility with third-party security platforms and home automation systems. Elsewhere, there's integration with Home Assistant as well - a free, open-source ecosystem that offers powerful, centralised home automation. Working with Reolink's TrackFlex camera, Home Assistant is praised for its privacy-first approach, due to the fact that all of your data and video feeds never leave your local home network. In addition to its privacy benefits, Home Assistant's ability to work seamlessly with all manner of devices is one of its biggest strengths. You could, for example, set up your outdoor lights to automatically turn on whenever your smart doorbell is pressed. Clever stuff. This connectivity extends beyond simple device control as well, with useful integration with daily routines. Voice commands can, for example, activate lighting for evening activities, while automated scheduling ensures security monitoring adapts to your lifestyle. The combination of ReoNeura AI and TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi embodies a rethinking of how security systems should function within modern life. Rather than demanding constant attention and manual management, these systems operate intelligently in the background, surfacing relevant information exactly when it's needed. For homeowners juggling work, family, and personal interests, this intelligent automation is invaluable. Security becomes a seamless aspect of daily life rather than an additional burden requiring constant vigilance. The system's positioning within Reolink's broader product ecosystem also ensures long-term compatibility and upgrade paths, while the company's established reputation for innovation and support provides confidence in ongoing development and refinement. Reolink's TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi is expected to retail within the £200-£250 range, positioning it competitively against premium alternatives while delivering superior functionality and long-term value. The camera is now available for pre-order, with early subscribers able to secure a 10% discount code through 5th October, redeemable between 6th-12th October. For those interested in experiencing this next generation of intelligent security, Reolink will also be demonstrating both its ReoNeura AI technology and TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi systems throughout IFA 2025. These demonstrations will showcase real-world applications and integration scenarios, providing tangible insight into how these technologies enhance daily life.

Reolink's new subscription-free security camera protects your home with 360-degree coverage and super-bright floodlights

You can store footage locally, and use AI-powered search to find subjects Reolink, which is behind some of the best home security cameras we've tested here at TechRadar, has launched a new outdoor security cam with dual lenses, dual floodlights, and (perhaps most impressively) no monthly subscription necessary to save and view your recordings. The Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi camera not only has two lenses, it can pan 360 degrees for 360-degree coverage to minimize potential blind spots. The camera uses AI to identify and track people and animals, as well as reducing false alerts that can be frustrating and cause unnecessary battery drain. Your videos are saved to an SD card, and you can use AI-powered search to find specific moments rather than scrubbing through hours of recordings. For example, you could search for 'white van' or 'woman in blue shirt' to pinpoint a moment using natural language. It sounds very much like the AI-powered Smart Search that began rolling out for Ring security cameras and video doorbells in March, but unlike Ring, Reolink won't be locking the feature away behind a paywall. If you want to store your videos off-site for extra peace of mind, you can sign up for the Reolink Cloud service, which saves them to the company's servers, but it's not essential. The camera is compatible with SD cards up to 512GB, and you can store even more video on a Reolink Home Hub or NAS device. The camera's two spotlights have a maximum brightness of 3,000 lumens (compared to 2,000 lumens for the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus), and adjustable color temperature so you can create a warm welcoming glow that activates on a schedule, or powerful white light that's triggered by motion to illuminate and deter potential trespassers. It sounds impressive, and I'm hoping to review it soon for TechRadar, but Reolink isn't the only company competing for a space on your walls. The Swann MaxRanger4K (which earned four stars in our review, also records at 4K, saves your footage locally so you don't have to pay for cloud storage, and unlike the Reolink camera, has a solar panel to reduce the need for recharging. As its name suggests, the MaxRanger4K has a particularly long wireless range so you can position cameras over a wide area, but it lacks the pan-and-tile feature of the ReoLink TrackFlex. Which one will be more practical for your home? Stick with TechRadar for a full comparison of the two very soon.
