Reolinkers’ Week Day 3: Product & Feature Roadmap

[Reolink Fiona]

Hi everyone! Thank you for offering insight in the survey yesterday. It will help us a lot. Now comes the third day of our event! Today we will share Product & Feature Roadmap in 2022 (Q1 & Q2) with you.
 

Product Roadmap：

1. 1212A (bullet) & 1224A (dome) optimized version: IR light＋spotlight＋two-way audio＋106°FOV＋f=2.8mm
We heard your wish for the 12MP cameras and the IR light for the stay-on spotlight cameras. Now new 12mp cameras are beasts! 
 
2. Video doorbell
This doorbell will support both PoE and wifi connection. Haven’t known other parameters of the doorbell before? Click this link to know more,
https://bit.ly/33Tio8f.
 
3. 36-Channel NVR
This NVR can offer 36 channels for the “camera richer”! You can easily expand and manage the existing security system with this NVR.
 
4. Trail camera: With GPS, 940nm invisible IR light, and camouflage skin
We love the fact that many users use our Go series cameras in the wild for camping and hunting, and like to paint the camera to disguise. This inspires us: why not make a more powerful trail camera?
 
So we upgrade the new GO PT Plus to the trail camera.
 
With the invisible IR light and camouflage skin, you can disguise your camera better. GPS in the camera will help you to better position your camera. 
 

Feature Roadmap: 

1. Al feature: Motion tagging 

We think this is what you are waiting for! With this feature, you can better locate the person/vehicle/pet detection in the video.

 

We are still thinking about how to make AI more useful. Stay tuned! I will update in the future if it is practical.

 

2. Network setting:

--NVR H.265 RTSP stream integration

After integration of the H.265 video of the NVR and RTSP stream, you can enjoy better quality video in some third-party software.

--ONVIF upgrade

--Network security upgrade

 

3. Iframe optimization

Note: The plan or some specifications may be changed. The appearance of the products in the picture is not the final version.

 

After reading the roadmap above, which new product/new feature do you want most? What other features do you want? You can let me know in the comment!

@reolink-fiona Doorbell, definitely, this is the next thing I personally need in the very near future. Motion tagging is surely helpful to understand in uncertain situations WHAT actually triggered the alarm. But this feature should be ON/OFF-able I think, if everything is clear than I don't really need a frame or whatever around the person in the picture.
12MP Bullet with two-way and big FOV sounds also interesting, especially for long driveways or corridors...

You know what... just send me everything for betatesting

[rbrading4_482117566664845]

@reolink-fiona Trail Cam development I hope for. Solar powered, motion triggered streaming through Nano Beams <1/4 mile into NVR via network. Kits offering recommended (Solar panel size, Nano Beams, Battery included). Possible separate IR triggered spotlight. For example 15ft cord on spot light allowing separate mounting location.

[tenback_266134903410848]

@Reolink Custom HTTP(s) query, where you can enter an url, when certain motion is detected there will be a http get on this url, so extern systems can be triggered without adding too much overhead.

[Reolink Lorenz]

@tenback_266134903410848 Will an RTSP URL help in your case? If yes, you may click here to learn more, https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006240073-Request-for-RTSP-URL

[tenback_266134903410848]

@reolink-lorenz Thanks for your response. No what i meant is that the camera does initiate the request to an external system if a person or a vehicle is detected, so it's easier to combine it with smart home systems like domoticz etc. It's like a FTP but then without (or with) image to an external http(s) url (http post).

[t maciek_382830390239374]

@Reolink-Lorenz the feature that @tenback_266134903410848 is asking is really important for a big group of people that uses reolink cameras for smart-home automatizations, and would be definitely and argument for those who are searching for new solution for their homes.
I also voting for it  

[Reolink Lorenz]

@tenback_266134903410848 Thank you for the explanation.

Our team is working on the custom HTTP(S) query now and it will be available in a future firmware update. At the moment, our cameras support ONVIF Profile S, ONVIF Pull-Point Notification Interface, and ONVIF Basic Notification Interface.

@t-maciek_382830390239374 Thank you for the suggestion, Maciek.

@reolink-lorenz Great that's really good news to hear. Big thank you from the Home Automation Community! If you need beta testers, please count me in!
Please design the function so that you can configure an url for human detection and an url for verhicle detection, and an url for pet detection. So it's easier to couple home automation systems to the Reolink object detection without doing some kind of scripting.
As @t-maciek_382830390239374 also wrote, it will be a good selling point to buy a Reolink camera if the integration is that easy!

[Reolink Lorenz]

@tenback_266134903410848 Hi tenback, I have just talked to our dev team and they have confirmed that you will be allowed to configure different URLs for human, vehicle, and pet detection in a future update.

And there is an alternative URL with the similar function available now: http://(ip address)/api.cgi?cmd=GetAiState&channel=(channel id)&user=(username)&password=(user password). You may type in the info needed in the ( ) field and remove the "(" ")" when you apply the URL.

[tenback_266134903410848]

@reolink-lorenz Thanks that's great! Thanks for sharing the url, but that requires polling every x-seconds to the camera, but helps for now. The other solution the dev team is working is is awesome, because there will be only communication, if there's something detected and the home automation systems don't have to poll. Currious to see when we can test the function, thank you very much!

[t maciek_382830390239374]

@reolink-lorenz Thank you for the information about ONVIF Basic Notification Interface, i have tested it and this is what I need:) but this is not supporting AI detections, just normal move detection. Please fix this, and add car, pet, and person detection in easy to distinction format. Thank you!

[Reolink Lorenz]

Hi @t-maciek_382830390239374, we do plan to make it support smart person, vehicle, and pet detection with a future update. Stay tuned!

[t maciek_382830390239374]

@reolink-lorenz Thank you

[tonylm100_386423266828454]

Disguised Go PT Plus with 4G would be great for remote security However, could do with autotracking as would be solar charged and would therefore not have any pre-recording to show trigger incident

[Reolink Lorenz]

@tonylm100_386423266828454 Thank you for sharing your ideas with us, Penny. However, we may not add auto-tracking and pre-recording to the trail camera as it may drain the battery very fast.

Instead, we will add a pre-alarm feature to the camera. With this feature, you will be notified when the camera is triggered and starts to record (before a video is fully recorded). Hope this helps.

Take my money

[pejacoby_282205528469671]

Will any of the AI features be able to back ported to previous cameras, like the RLC-511W? It would be great to see new features incorporated into existing devices that are only a couple of years old.

[Reolink Fiona]

@pejacoby_282205528469671
Hi there, we will upgrade the RLC-410W and it will support the AI function. But the hardware version is different from the previous one. The AI function is limited by the hardware. So the AI function can't be added to the previous one now. If there is any news, I will let you know.

[Reolink Fiona]

Thank you for all your expectations and requests. I will record down all your requests and forward them to the product team to seek possibilities.

[frew425_372631340130533]

Any idea when the new RLC-1212A and RLC-1224A cameras will be available? I see they are updated on the website already.

https://m.reolink.com/us/product/rlc-1212a/

Can’t wait! Thanks!

[Reolink Lorenz]

@frew425_372631340130533 It is expected to be available in March. Stay tuned!

[bufr9302_473220546592974]

Any chance that the 811A will be updated to include the ability to set gain and shutter speed . Your B500 and 520 other lower megapixel and less expensive camera s have the capability. I recently purchased you brand and this is Very important to me Thank you.

[Reolink Fiona]

@bufr9302_473220546592974
Now there is no setting in the RLC-811A. I will record your demand and forward it to the product team.

[E1 Z01_487348412670150]

Is optical zoom planned for the 12MP cameras? What I would like is a 12MP version of the 811a bullet, and in a turret version.

IR triggered POE camera please!

[mariah9xx_574141635289319]

I can tell you that the ability to perform optical zoom is typically determined by the design of the camera lens and sensor, rather than the resolution of the sensor.
