Reolink has put its intelligent visual technology into its latest product, the new Video Doorbell 2nd Gen which has just been released in Australia.
The device incorporates the Qualcomm QCC730 micro-power Wi-Fi solution and can deliver up to 50 per cent longer battery life than regular Wi-Fi doorbell cameras.
According to Finder research, nearly one in five Australians report a lost package in the last 12 months and 4 per cent have experienced theft directly from their doorstep so package security is a priority for many customers.
The Reolink Video Doorbell 2nd Gen can offer a solution to this problem thanks to the 4MP head-to-toe 1:1 view and on-device smart detection for people, vehicles, animals, and packages.
With the 1:1 view users can see if a person is standing at their doorstep with packages at their feet or if packages have been left at their front door.
The doorbell can run in either Battery Power Mode to offer a full wireless install or on a trickle charge connection to existing 8-24VAC doorbell wiring.
The optional wired power mode can also connect to 16-24 VAC power to allow always-on operation and 24/7 continuous recording.
“With the Video Doorbell 2nd Gen, we wanted homeowners and renters to have more flexibility without compromising on performance,” said Nick Nigro, Vice President Sales – Australasia.
“This flexibility is particularly relevant in the Australian market, where doorstep theft has become a genuine concern for many households, and simply knowing who’s at the door goes a long way toward peace of mind.”
The Reolink Video Doorbell 2nd Gen is available now at Reolink.com and Reolink’s official Amazon store for $229.99.
Features of the Video Doorbell 2nd Gen include:
– 4MP Head-to-Toe 1:1 View: A 2048×2048 square aspect ratio with a 150° horizontal, 150° vertical, and 180° diagonal field of view captures visitors and packages from head to toe, with HDR for clarity in high-contrast lighting.
– Flexible Power Options: Install completely wire-free for easy placement or connect to compatible 8–24VAC doorbell wiring to help keep the built-in battery topped up and reduce manual recharging.
– Extended Battery Life: Powered by Qualcomm Technologies Inc.’s micro-power Wi-Fi solution, the doorbell delivers up to 10 months of battery life on a single charge (based on 5 minutes of daily recording) — 2x longer than the 1st Gen.
– On-Device Smart Detection: Local AI detects people, vehicles, animals, visitors, and packages, with no subscription required for detection or storage.
– Added Privacy and Security: New tamper-alert and voice-masking features give homeowners and renters extra peace of mind during two-way audio calls.
– Smart Home Ready: Compatible with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, and Home Assistant through a compatible Reolink Hub, plus Reolink Chime 2.1 and Chime Plus for indoor alerts.
– No Subscription Required: Local storage via microSD card (up to 512GB) keeps footage in the user’s hands, free of monthly fees.
