Introduction to Smart Surveillance Analytics

Manage security more intelligently with Reolink's Smart Surveillance Analytics, designed to help users efficiently play, analyze, and download video history from Reolink cameras. This guide will walk you through the key features of Smart Surveillance Analytics, its applications, and how to make the most of Reolink's 24/7 video history.

Notes:

1. You can use Smart Surveillance Analytics via the Reolink App or Reolink Client for the Reolink Home Hub series, but for Reolink NVRs, the function is only available through monitors connected to the NVR.

2. The camera must be configured with the correct recording schedule and type, and the recording function in scene mode should be enabled. Only then will Smart Surveillance Analytics display recordings (as shown in the second file below). Otherwise, it will only show the triggered events without allowing access to the recordings (as shown in the first file below).
