If you’re looking to make your home and family safer and more secure, then smart home security devices make it possible to keep an eye on the things and people you cherish the most. Although video doorbells and smart home cameras are a good start, a floodlight system could fill in the gaps and blind spots left around your house and property.

Enter Reolink, an innovative and user-focused leader in intelligent home security. The company unveiled the new Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, an advanced 4K Ultra HD video and floodlight system. It also has “Local AI Video Search” for instant results with simple phrases, like “find the man in a white hoodie” or “search for a black pickup truck.” This is much easier than scrubbing through hours of video footage to find what you’re looking for in the system.

The Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi is available for preorder for $219.99 starting on Monday, July 21.

Powered by ReoNeura — Reolink’s advanced smart AI system — the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi attaches to a garage, backdoor, or just about anywhere around your house that you would consider to be blind spots or dark areas. It features built-in dual ultra-bright LED floodlights that pump out a shining 3,000 Lumen each to provide adequate lighting up to 12 meters (or about 39 feet).

The smart home security device has loud sirens up to 105dB activated if motion is detected between people, vehicles, and animals, which will then alert anyone within its perimeter that they are being watched. This is for better peace of mind and security around your home.

Additionally, the smart home security device has advanced perimeter protection. It’s customizable to create your own border around your property, including line crossing alerts, zone intrusion alerts, and zone loitering alerts. This essentially creates your very own virtual fence to monitor directions and zones. It can even track and alert you if people or vehicles are in designated areas within the perimeter too long.

Here’s how it works: Just connect the smart home floodlight system to your smartphone or tablet with the Reolink mobile app for an instant livestream of all of the activity around your house. Meanwhile, you won’t get any blind spots anymore because the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi features dual 180-degree ultrawide lenses that captures panoramic video footage with sharp and clear 4K Ultra HD video quality via blazing-fast Wi-Fi 6.

In fact, there’s no subscription fees required. It runs entirely on-device with no cloud or subscription support to ensure private and intuitive controls over all of its recordings.

It’s really the smarter and more private alternative to other subscription-based security services. The Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi is ideal for a wide driveway, a dark storefront, or a spacious yard.

It requires a wired internet connection, while the smart home security system comes with a mounting bar, a mounting bracket, and installation tools.

Priced at $219.99, the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi is available for preorder starting on July 21 at Reolink.com. The smart home security device is bundled with a 30-day money back guarantee, free shipping (with some delivery restrictions), a limited two-and-a-half year warranty, and 24/5 online support.
