PCWorld just published an article spotlighting Reolink’s groundbreaking achievement as the first security camera brand to receive the official "Works With Home Assistant" certification from the Open Home Foundation. If you’re all about local processing, privacy-first tech, and ditching cloud subscriptions, this is a must-read.

Key takeaways:

First of its kind: Reolink’s Wi-Fi cameras (excluding 4G models) are now fully certified, processing video feeds, AI alerts, and controls entirely on-device/local networks.Zero cloud reliance: Avoid subscription fees and third-party snooping—data never leaves your home network.Seamless automations: Pair Reolink cams with other Home Assistant devices (e.g., trigger smart lights when the doorbell rings).Flexible storage: All models support local NAS storage, even without onboard SD slots.Open Home Foundation cred: Home Assistant’s free, open-source platform runs on everything from Raspberry Pis to virtual machines.

Quotable:
“We’re thrilled to welcome the first cameras to the ‘Works With Home Assistant Program’ via Reolink.”
— Miranda Bishop, Partnership Manager at the Open Home Foundation
