Reolink, a leader in intelligent visual technology for homes and businesses, has announced the release of the Video Doorbell 2nd Gen on Reolink.com. This new product joins the Argus Magicam as part of Reolink's Power-Efficient Series and features the Qualcomm® QCC730 micro-power Wi-Fi solution, providing up to 50% longer battery life than standard Wi-Fi cameras, without compromising on features or requiring a subscription.
The Video Doorbell 2nd Gen enhances front-door security with a 4MP head-to-toe 1:1 view and on-device smart detection capabilities for people, vehicles, animals, and packages, ensuring reliable, real-time awareness. The doorbell operates in two modes to accommodate different home setups. In Battery Power Mode, it can be installed wire-free or connected to compatible 8–24VAC doorbell wiring to maintain battery charge and minimize manual recharging.
