With the OMVI Series Now Complete, Reolink Delivers Its Most Comprehensive Security Lineup Yet

The award-winning OMVI series from Reolink combines two camera approaches for a comprehensive look at whatever part of your property the devices are pointed at: A wide-angle camera for taking in as much of the scene as possible, and a pan and tilt camera for tracking people, animals, and vehicles across the frame. With support for local video storage (no cloud subscription fees), night vision, two-way audio and intelligent, AI-powered across the board, these are some of the most sophisticated cameras on the market at the moment—and add to what is already a feature-packed lineup of home security products from Reolink.

You get the dual-view monitoring and AI tracking that these cameras are known for, to maintain eyes all across your home, so the camera can distinguish between people, vehicles, and animals—handy for keeping unnecessary alerts down to a minimum in the app on your phone. The 10,000 mAh battery will give you an estimated six months of monitoring between charges, and it’s removable too, which means you don’t have to take down the whole camera to plug it in for a recharge. Even better, a 6W solar panel provides additional power, with around 30 minutes of sunshine enough to power the camera all day. The OMVI 2i Ultra. Depending on where you are in the world, you might not ever need to recharge it — and of course with no power cables to think about, the installation process is straightforward and means you can put this anywhere you like on your property. The camera features a 4K 8MP fixed lens for the wide-angle view (a 130-degree field of view diagonally), plus a 3K 5MP pan and tilt camera that’s able to rotate through 355 degrees. Zooming and framing are taken care of automatically via the SyncTrack intelligent tracking system, and you get all the other features you’d expect: Two-way audio, light and audio alarms, night vision, and IP65 waterproofing. To top it all, you don’t have to spend any money on a subscription for recorded video clips, as there’s space for a microSD card up to 512GB in capacity (sold separately). It’s a camera that will appeal to a host of users, including those buying a device like this for the first time, homeowners upgrading from a more basic camera, renters, and business owners with small-to-medium-sized properties.

This sits between the other two cameras we’re covering here, a ‘sweet spot’ for wider video coverage and more advanced monitoring capabilities. This is an 18MP triple-lens system, because there are two lenses in the 4K 10MP panoramic camera, giving you full 180-degree coverage—a truly wide-angle shot. Wherever you position it, it’ll take in a lot, and you’ve then got the extra tracking ability of the 4K 8MP pan-and-tilt camera underneath. The OMVI 3i WiFi. The tracking capabilities are powered by SyncTrack and are able to distinguish between people, animals, and vehicles, and watch them closely—with zoom and pan—as they move in and out of shot. All the while, the wide-angle view remains available to you too. There’s also an AI video search tool, so you can quickly jump back into your recordings to look for something you missed. Don’t worry about having to spend money each month to store these recordings in the cloud either, because the OMVI 3i offers a local storage option, with support for microSD cards up to 512GB in size (sold separately). The OMVI 3i PoE. As well as color night vision, the camera brings with it IP66 waterproofing, two-way audio, light and audio alerts. The Wi-Fi version works with a supplied power cable, so whether you go for that or the PoE model you’ve got the peace of mind that comes with 24/7 video recordings—and you don’t need to worry about battery life or recharging. In terms of balancing performance, coverage, and value for money, it’s difficult to beat. It’s particularly suitable for larger homes, corner lots, multi-car driveways, small businesses, and smart home enthusiasts, as well as those who might be upgrading from more conventional and limited PoE cameras.

As well as all the other features that make OMVI cameras stand out, it also brings with it excellent panoramic awareness and long-range identification capabilities. This is a 24MP triple-lens system, combining a 16MP dual-lens panoramic camera (offering a continuous 180-degree field of view) with a 4K (8MP) pan-tilt-zoom dome camera (that gives you a full 360-degree horizontal pan and 95-degree vertical tilt). The Power over Ethernet provides the round-the-clock recording, with no worries about battery life or recharging (or a weak Wi-Fi signal). One of the stand-out features here is the 16x optical zoom. That makes the camera perfect for covering large spaces, and identifying people, pets, and animals to focus on the activity that really matters. This activity can be spotted in the distance, keeping its 4K resolution — and then the SyncTrack technology keeps tabs on whatever is in the frame, whether it’s a passing delivery truck or a lost dog. The OMVI X16 PoE. You get the AI-powered video search for easy access to your archive, and no monthly fees are required to access it either—there’s support for local microSD card storage (sold separately) to manage all of your clips. Add in the features that are standard across the range, including two-way audio, waterproofing, and light and audio alerts, and there’s a lot to like here. You’ve also got support for color night vision, so the recording and the security protection doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down. It’s an ideal solution for large homes and estates, gated communities, and commercial environments, and it’s also going to work well for neighborhoods with elevated security concerns (remember that 16x optical zoom), warehouses, and business parks. You’ve got the wide-angle view of everything that’s happening in a scene, plus the precision needed to zoom in and track something whenever you need to.
