Smart Person/Vehicle Detection

Based on traditional motion detection, smart person/vehicle detection is a more advanced technology with further optimized algorithms to distinguish people and vehicles from other objects and therefore reduce false alarms.

For more accurate detection and fewer unwanted alarms, you can customize the detection zone, sensitivity, object size, and camera recording schedule for the person/vehicle detection on Reolink App/Client. 

Especially by setting up the maximum object size and the minimum object size for person detection and vehicle detection, you can reduce false alarms caused by spider webs, light changes, and raindrops. The movements of objects smaller than the minimum size or larger than the maximum size will not trigger alarms. 

Siren

Cameras with audio alarms or Siren can make a loud prolonged sound as a signal or warning when the camera detects motion alarms.

You can enable this feature via the Reolink APP or Reolink Client.

Two-Way Audio

Two-way audio allows you to receive and transmit audio through the camera. Reolink cameras that support two-way audio have a built-in speaker and microphone. You can talk through the camera via your Reolink App/Client when you are far away from home.

  • On Reolink App

    1. Log in to your camera on Reolink App, go to Device Settings > Advanced, and enable Record Audio.

Pan & Tilt

Pan means the camera can rotate from the left and right, allowing the camera to have a wide coverage area, while Tilt means the camera can tilt up and down, giving the camera a wide vertical range of coverage.

Time-lapse

Time-lapse photography is a technique that speeds up the passage of time so that events seem to happen faster. In time-lapse videos, the slow changes of objects or scenes are compressed into a short period of time to present wonderful scenes that are usually undetectable to the naked eye.

Follow the instructions below to set up a time-lapse capture.

Cloud

Reolink Cloud service is based on cloud computing technology. It can perform video storage, editing, and retrieval over the Internet. Reolink Cloud service is not compulsory but optional.

At present, the Reolink Cloud is supported by several Reolink camera models in different countries and regions. Check Reolink Cloud Availability to learn more.
