Reolink showcased its latest AI suite, ReoNeura, at the IFA show in Berlin, adding smart object detection, customizable zones, scheduled alerts and video captioning to its lineup. The company also introduced the TrackFlex Floodlight camera, a Wi‑Fi model with a 4K dual‑lens system, pan/tilt capability, 3,000‑lumen illumination and a price around $200. These upgrades aim to reduce false alerts, streamline video review and bridge the gap between residential and commercial security needs.
AI Enhancements at IFA
At the Innovation for All (IFA) exhibition in Berlin, Reolink revealed a new artificial‑intelligence platform called ReoNeura. The system builds on earlier AI work that focused on automatic video searching, expanding it with several practical features. Smart object detection now recognizes people, animals, vehicles, bikes and packages, allowing users to create custom zones and set schedules that silence alerts during specific periods. The platform can also generate video captions that summarise detected activity, such as "a blue truck pulls up" or "two children on bikes appear," helping users locate events quickly without watching hours of footage.
TrackFlex Floodlight Camera
Alongside the AI rollout, Reolink launched the TrackFlex Floodlight camera. The unit is a Wi‑Fi‑enabled model equipped with a 4K dual‑lens setup—one telephoto and one wide‑angle—plus pan and tilt mechanics that deliver a 360‑degree view with 270 degrees of motion detection. When motion is detected at the edge of its field, the camera automatically rotates to follow the activity. Illumination comes from 3,000‑lumen LED panels that can switch between color temperatures, providing bright, adaptable lighting for outdoor settings. Reolink positioned the camera as suitable for both home and business environments, and it is available for pre‑order at roughly $200.
Impact on Home and Business Security
The combination of ReoNeura’s refined AI and the TrackFlex hardware aims to address the “arms race” among home security brands to deliver smarter, less intrusive monitoring. By allowing users to fine‑tune detection zones and schedule alerts, the system reduces the barrage of false notifications that often plague security setups. Video captioning further streamlines post‑event analysis, saving time for property owners and security personnel. The dual‑lens, pan/tilt design of the TrackFlex camera expands coverage while maintaining high‑resolution detail, bridging the traditional divide between residential‑grade and commercial‑grade surveillance equipment. Early impressions suggest Reolink is positioning itself as a versatile player capable of serving a broad range of security needs.
