Reolink’s New AI Cameras (2025): Models, How They Work, and What the AI Can Do
Reolink has unveiled its next generation of smart security at IFA 2025, pairing a brand‑new TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi camera with ReoNeura, an AI system that promises faster insights, fewer false alerts, and simpler video searching. Together, they mark a meaningful shift from “motion‑alert cameras” to context‑aware security that understands what’s happening—and why it matters.
What’s New: Headline Features at a Glance
ReoNeura brings Smart Detection (people, vehicles, animals, bikes, parcels), AI Video Search you can query in natural language (“white SUV,” “delivery driver”), and even video captioning that turns footage into readable summaries. For retailers and venues, Customer Flow Analysis and heat maps turn everyday foot traffic into actionable insights.
The TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi ups the hardware game with a dual‑lens 4K setup, PTZ control for full 360° coverage, 270° out‑of‑field motion detection that rotates to capture action at the edge, and dual adjustable floodlights pushing up to 3000 lumens. It’s purpose‑built to eliminate blind spots and to see clearly in the dark.
The New Line‑Up: Models to Know
TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi (2025 flagship)
A dual‑lens, 4K PTZ floodlight camera with 360° vision, triple PIR sensors, and 270° out‑of‑field motion detection for proactive tracking. With AI Video Search built in and floodlights up to 3000 lumens, it’s engineered for high‑security outdoor installs.
Argus 4 Pro
A 4K dual‑lens battery/solar camera delivering a 180° panoramic view powered by ColorX Night Vision—great for cable‑free coverage of wide areas.
Duo 3 PoE / Duo 3V PoE (Vandal‑proof)
16MP dual‑lens PoE models designed for 24/7 recording with a 180° field of view. The Duo 3V PoE adds an IK10 vandal‑proof rating for tougher environments.
TrackMix LTE
A 4G LTE, dual‑lens, battery‑powered camera with auto‑zoom tracking and 6× hybrid zoom—ideal for construction sites, rural properties, and anywhere Wi‑Fi is out of reach.
How the New Reolink Cameras Work
Dual‑Lens + PTZ = Coverage Without Compromise
With dual lenses (telephoto + wide) plus PTZ on the TrackFlex, you get panoramic context and detail on demand. The camera’s triple PIR array senses motion beyond the visible frame and auto‑rotates to capture the subject before it enters view—closing the gap where traditional cams miss the moment.
Local AI, Flexible Storage
A key advantage is local AI processing, which means faster response and fewer subscription dependencies. Reolink supports microSD cards up to 512GB, NVRs (and the Home Hub), and even FTP to NAS—useful for privacy and data‑sovereignty requirements.
24/7 Reliability
From 3000‑lumen floodlights on TrackFlex to robust PoE options like Duo 3 PoE, the range covers both wireless and wired installs, day and night. Battery/LTE options (e.g., TrackMix LTE) secure sites where power and internet are limited.
What the AI Can Actually Do
- Smart Detection & Smart Events: Distinguish people, vehicles, animals, bikes, parcels, and detect parcel delivery/pick‑up or object appearance/disappearance to cut noise and elevate truly important alerts.
- AI Video Search: Search your footage with plain language (“man in red hoodie,” “white SUV at 9 pm”) to find evidence in seconds instead of scrubbing for hours. Available locally on supported devices.
- Video Captioning: Auto‑generate natural‑language summaries of clips, so you grasp the incident at a glance—handy for audits and incident reports.
- Business Insights: For SMBs, Customer Flow Analysis provides people counts, 24‑hour heat maps, and alerts for crowded areas to improve staffing, layouts, and safety.
Who These Cameras Are For
- Homes & Strata: 360° coverage + floodlights for driveways and yards; parcel detection and video captioning for quick check‑ins after alerts. Local storage options help you keep video on‑premises.
- Retail, Clinics, Depots:Customer Flow Analysis and heat maps for traffic insight; vandal‑resistant (IK10) options like Duo 3V PoE for tougher installs. PoE ensures reliable 24/7 recording.
- Construction & Remote Sites:TrackMix LTE brings AI tracking and 4K clarity to off‑grid locations, powered by battery/solar with 4G backhaul.

Setup, Apps, and Compatibility
Reolink’s app and client provide granular control (zones, schedules) and swift review with AI Video Search. For smart‑home integrators, Reolink announced it is a Platinum‑tier partner with Home Assistant, underscoring its ecosystem approach and compatibility focus.
Data Privacy & Storage (Great for AU Data Sovereignty)
Because AI runs locally and you can store video on microSD, NVR, or NAS via FTP, deployments can be tailored to keep footage onshore and reduce cloud reliance. That’s valuable for organisations with strict compliance or data‑residency needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a subscription for AI features?
ReoNeura is designed to work locally on supported cameras/NVRs, with optional cloud services depending on the device. Local AI Video Search is available on the latest hardware like TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi.
How is this different from other brands?
ReoNeura emphasises on‑device AI (not just cloud), natural‑language video search, and video captioning, plus SMB‑focused analytics like Customer Flow Analysis.
What are my storage options?
Use microSD (up to 512GB), Reolink NVR/Home Hub, or FTP to NAS—handy when you want to minimise cloud exposure or monthly fees.
Is TrackFlex truly 360°?
Yes—PTZ covers the full 360° and 270° out‑of‑field motion detection rotates the camera to capture events at the edge of the frame.
Editor’s Take
Reolink’s 2025 story isn’t just a new camera; it’s the ReoNeura AI stack that ties everything together. Between local AI, natural‑language search, and video captioning, these systems give you the context that traditional motion alerts lack—whether you’re a homeowner watching for parcels or a retailer tuning staffing with traffic analytics.
