Reolink AI Box: On-Device AI That\u2019s Faster, Smarter, and Private<\/h3>\n

The new Reolink AI Box<\/strong> represents a major shift toward fully local AI processing. Powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing Q8 Series<\/strong>, the AI Box handles detection, analysis, search, and summarisation entirely on-device. By eliminating reliance on cloud processing, Reolink delivers faster response times, improved reliability, and enhanced user privacy\u2014without recurring cloud delays or data exposure risks.<\/p>\n

Designed as a central AI hub, the Reolink AI Box connects seamlessly with most Reolink cameras (excluding 4G models), home hubs, and NVRs through a simple plug-and-play setup. It brings Reolink\u2019s latest ReoNeura AI capabilities<\/strong> to existing non-AI devices, significantly extending their lifespan and functionality.<\/p>\n

\"Reolink \"Reolink<\/p>\n

Key AI features enabled by the Reolink AI Box include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Prompt-Based Alerts<\/strong>
    Users can create intelligent alerts using natural language prompts such as \u201ca man climbing a fence\u201d<\/em> or \u201ctrash bin in backyard is full.\u201d<\/em> The system automatically generates detection logic based on user intent, recognising actions and contextual behaviour to deliver precise, environment-aware notifications for both residential and commercial use.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Event Description with Security Levels<\/strong>
    Instead of raw video clips, the AI Box translates footage into clear, human-readable insights. It identifies people, objects, actions, and context, while assigning security levels from L1 (normal activity)<\/strong> to L4 (high concern)<\/strong>\u2014helping users prioritise what truly requires attention.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The AI Box also enhances Local AI Video Search+<\/strong> with higher detection accuracy and introduces Smart Summary<\/strong>, which compiles AI-analysed events into easy-to-understand visual overviews for faster review.<\/p>\n

    CES Award-Winning OMVI Series: Triple-Lens Coverage Without Compromise<\/h3>\n

    To deliver full-area coverage with unmatched image clarity, Reolink introduced the OMVI Series<\/strong>, a new lineup of triple-lens security cameras. The series includes the flagship 24 MP OMVI X16 PoE<\/strong>, alongside the 18 MP OMVI 3i<\/strong> models available in both Wi-Fi and PoE configurations.<\/p>\n

    \"CES<\/p>\n

    The Reolink OMVI X16 PoE<\/strong>, recognised as a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree<\/strong>, features an advanced 24 MP triple-lens system. This includes a 16 MP dual-lens panoramic camera<\/strong> providing a seamless 180\u00b0 ultra-wide view, paired with an 8 MP pan-tilt lens<\/strong> offering up to 16\u00d7 optical zoom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"OMVI<\/p>\n

    A sophisticated triple-motor design enables:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      0\u201322\u00b0 motorised tilt<\/strong> for the upper panoramic lenses<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      360\u00b0 high-speed endless horizontal panning<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      140\u00b0 vertical rotation<\/strong> for the PTZ unit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This hardware setup allows the camera to cover vast areas while maintaining sharp detail on moving subjects.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Smart Tracking That Sees Everything<\/h3>\n

      One of the standout features of the OMVI Series is Synchronised\u00a0Smart Tracking<\/strong>. When the panoramic camera detects motion, the PTZ lens instantly locks onto the subject, tracking it with a zoomed-in, high-detail close-up\u2014even beyond the panoramic field of view\u2014until the target exits the monitored area.<\/p>\n

      Users can view both the panoramic and PTZ perspectives simultaneously within the Reolink App or PC Client, providing situational awareness without missing critical details.<\/p>\n

      Additional controls enhance proactive monitoring:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Tap any point within the panoramic view to instantly redirect the PTZ lens for a closer look<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Set custom auto-patrol routes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Trigger one-tap scans for early threat detection<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
