Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi

Home security is becoming the norm these days, just like dash cams and baby monitors, it is an unfortunate necessity to keep our property safe. The Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi is a high end outdoor security camera that combines bright lighting with video monitoring, all controlled through the Reolink app. It uses a dual-lens camera that captures wide, detailed footage in 4K resolution, providing a panoramic view of up to 180 degrees. That means you can cover a large drive or garden without blind spots, and the crisp imagery makes it easier to see details like faces or number plates.

The powerful built-in floodlight kicks out up to 3000 lumens of brightness and adjustable colour temperature, it offers plenty of illumination for security and general lighting needs. You can choose warmer light for a softer glow or cooler light for clearer visibility. The lighting can be set to come on from dusk to dawn, triggered by motion, or controlled manually from the app.

The Smart Detection features use AI to distinguish between people, vehicles and animals, and you can tailor detection zones, so you only get the alerts that matter. When motion is detected, the system can push alerts to your phone, start recording and even sound a built-in 105dB siren if you choose. Local storage is supported via a microSD card of up to 512 GB, so you do not need to pay for cloud subscriptions. It is also compatible with Wi-Fi NVR models for expanded storage capacity, the Reolink Home Hub and Pro version for encrypted and centralized storage and FTP/NAS servers (supports RTSP/ONVIF) for flexible access.

Installation will take a little patience, it will require wiring into mains power and a good Wi-Fi signal, occasionally there can be a slight delay between the floodlight coming on after motion is detected. There can also be occasional setup hiccups with networks or the app, and very large areas may still need more than one unit for complete coverage.

In everyday use the Elite Floodlight WiFi feels like a capable and well rounded choice for outdoor monitoring. It blends sharp video, intelligent alerts, strong lighting and security features into one durable unit, offering peace of mind without ongoing service fees. RRP £214.99
