Reolink Introduces Duo 3 PoE Camera with Crime-Deterrent Features

Reolink, one of our favorite subscription-free security camera brands, just launched its latest outdoor camera, and we're excited to see that it's chock-full of features aimed at deterring bad actors—not just catching them in the act.

The Duo 3 PoE camera boasts dual 4K image sensors and 16MP Ultra High Definition (UHD) clarity. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from this camera:

• 180° panoramic view
• Infrared night vision up to 30 meters
• Color night vision with spotlight, 560 Lumens
• Two-way audio
• Operating temperature: -10°C~+55°C (14°F~131°F)
• Operating humidity: 10% ~ 90%
• IP67 weatherproof rating (higher than other Reolink cams)
• Motion detection; person detection; vehicle detection; animal detection
• Motion-triggered recording (default); scheduled recording, 24/7 recording
• Voice control with Google Assistant

Katie McEntire, our expert security camera tester and YouTube reviewer, is gearing up to test the Reolink Duo 3 PoE camera, and we're excited to see if the image quality and clarity stand up to the hype. We also want to find out if the 180° panoramic view eliminates blind spots for a more immersive monitoring experience than standard security cams without panoramic view.

We're so pleased to see Reolink getting creative and proactive with security camera features. Vivint has really been the leader of crime-deterring innovation in cameras, but it's nice to see
a brand like Reolink thinking along the same lines—especially because it's a stand-alone camera. You don't need to buy it as part of a complete security system, and there's no monthly subscription needed.

So, what exactly are these crime-deterring features? Here's the rundown:

• Smart detection technology accurately identifies people, vehicles, and animals
• Real-time alerts
• Motion-activated spotlight
• Motion-activated siren
• Motion Track that sends real-time images and follows the complete movement of a detected subject

With breaches regularly in the news (Wyze had one last week), we like that Reolink consistently prioritizes privacy with various storage options. Users can store footage locally on a microSD card, Reolink NVR, or FTP server. With support for up to 256GB microSD cards, you can count on extended recording times without compromising video quality.
