- The Reolink Trackflex projection wifi is a new outdoor security camera
- It can break and tilt to cover 360 degrees, and has two extra-brilliant projectors
- You can store images locally and use a search fueled by AI to find subjects
Reolink, who is at the origin of some of the best home security cameras that we have tested here in Techradar, launched a new outdoor safety cam with two objectives, two projectors and (perhaps the most impressive) no monthly subscription necessary to save and see your recordings.
The Reolink Trackflex WiFi camera with a projector has not only two lenses, but it can be broken at 360 degrees for 360 degree coverage to minimize potential dead angles. The camera uses AI to identify and follow people and animals, as well as to reduce the false alerts that can be frustrating and cause an unnecessary battery discharge.
Your videos are saved on an SD card, and you can use a search powered by AI to find specific moments rather than cleaning the hours of recordings. For example, you can search for “Van Blanc” or “Woman in Blue Shirt” to identify a moment using natural language.
It looks very much like the intelligent research fueled by the AI that started deploying security cameras from the rings and video bells in March, but unlike Ring, Reolink will not see the functionality behind a paid wall.
If you want to store your off -site videos for additional peace of mind, you can register for the Reolink Cloud service, which saves them to the company’s servers, but it is not essential. The camera is compatible with SD cards up to 512 GB, and you can store even more video on a Reolink reception center or a NAS device.
Locate the difference
The two spotlights of the camera have a maximum brightness of 3,000 lumens (compared to 2,000 lumens for the light camera of the CAM plus ring), and the adjustable color temperature so that you can create a warm glow that activates on a calendar, or a powerful white light which is triggered by the movement to light and disperse the potential effects.
It seems impressive, and I hope to see it again soon for Techradar, but Reolink is not the only company in competition for a space on your walls. The Swann Maxranger4K (which won four stars in our examination, also records 4K, saves your images locally so that you do not have to pay for cloud storage, and unlike the Reolink camera, has a solar panel to reduce the need for recharge.
As its name suggests, the Maxranger4K has a particularly long wireless range so that you can position cameras in a large area, but it does not have the Pan-Et-Tuile characteristic of Reolink Trackflex.
Which one will be the most practical for your home? Stay in Techradar for a complete comparison of the two very soon.
