Reolink has just announced the launch of a new smart security camera. It offers AI-powered video search using keywords, even without a subscription, and features powerful lighting. Two lenses are on board.
Reolink will soon be offering a new surveillance camera, the Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi. Although not yet available, customers can pre-order and secure a 10% discount. The model will be officially released on March 2, in well over a month, and will be available from the manufacturer as well as via Amazon. The price is listed at $260.
The camera comes with two lenses and sensors. A 4K ultra-wide-angle sensor is combined with a telephoto lens and is advertised as having a 6x hybrid zoom. The zoom lens is designed to capture details such as faces and license plates in high quality and with good legibility. The camera supports tilt and pan functions, allowing users to track people directly.
The TrackFlex is advertised as having powerful lighting; the LEDs are said to deliver up to 3,000 lumens and can be controlled in terms of color temperature and brightness. Both warm and cool white light can be emitted, with warm white light generally being perceived as more pleasant. The camera can be controlled via voice commands and connects via WiFi on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. It is IP66-certified and hence suitable for outdoor use. Lastly, a local AI video search function is available at no subscription cost, allowing users to quickly find relevant footage using keyword searches.
Not a given: The lighting can be warm white, which is generally more pleasant than cool white. (Image source: Reolink)

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
