As the name suggests, the dual lens cameras come with two lenses, often designed to provide multiple perspectives or enhanced features that single-lens cameras can’t achieve. 

Key Scenarios Where Dual-Lens Cameras Shine: 

1️⃣ Wider Field of View Without Distortion

• Perfect for monitoring large areas like parking lots, backyards, or warehouses.
• Instead of relying on a single wide-angle lens (which can distort edges), a dual-lens setup stitches images together seamlessly for a full view without losing detail.

2️⃣ Better Motion Tracking

• Dual-lens setups can track moving objects across a broader field of view or from different angles, ensuring nothing slips past unnoticed.
• This is especially useful in high-traffic areas or for tracking intruders across large properties.

Why It’s Important

• More Coverage, Fewer Cameras: Reduce blind spots and installation costs by covering multiple angles or wide areas with a single device.
• Improved Security: Dual lenses can provide better footage for evidence, whether it's a zoomed-in view or a panoramic scene.

What’s Your Take?
We’d love to hear from you!

• Do you currently use a dual-lens camera? What’s your experience been like?
• Are there specific scenarios where you think this technology would be a game-changer for your setup?
• If you don’t have one, what is holding your back?

Feel free to stop by for a drink anytime, cutie！

Enhancing your home security just got easier with the Reolink Home Hub and Home Hub Pro! Today, we’ll walk you through setting up and customizing the Siren Alarm feature to ensure your home stays protected with audible alerts tailored to your needs. Let’s dive in!

What Is the Reolink Siren Alarm?
Every camera connected to your Home Hub can trigger its built-in siren alarm! Whether it’s motion detection from a security camera or a doorbell press, the Home Hub’s siren will activate to deter intruders or notify you of visitors.
Key Features:

• Automatically sound an alarm during security events (e.g., motion detection).
• Customizable ringtones and scheduling options.
• For doorbell cameras: Set a Visitor Ringtone for doorbell presses.

How to Set Up the Siren Alarm
Step 1: Add Your Camera to the Home Hub
Before configuring the siren, make sure your Reolink camera is paired with the Home Hub.

Captured by Argus Pro

Today, we’re here to introduce a key feature of the Reolink Argus PT and Argus PT Ultra: Pre-Motion Recording. This functionality ensures critical moments are captured before motion is detected, providing a more comprehensive view of events. Below is a guide to how it works and how to configure it.
What Is Pre-Motion Recording?
Reolink’s Pre-Motion Recording starts capturing footage 10 seconds before motion is detected, addressing potential delays in traditional motion-triggered recording. This ensures the full context of an event is recorded, even if environmental factors (e.g., PIR sensor limitations) delay detection.
Key Details:

• Compatible with SD cards, FTP, and cloud storage (not available for email alerts).
• Balances battery life and storage efficiency by avoiding 24/7 recording.

Configuration Guide
Setup via the Reolink App:

1. Enable Pre-Recording Mode
   • Open the Reolink App → Select your camera → Navigate to Settings → Camera Recording → Toggle Pre-Recording Mode on.
2. Adjust Frame Rate
   • Default: 5 FPS (optimized for battery efficiency).
   • Optional: Increase to 10 FPS for smoother footage (note: raises power consumption by 40-50%).
   • Battery Saver: Pre-recording automatically disables if the battery drops below 20% (adjustable threshold).
3. Schedule Settings
   • Select Schedule → Choose Always On for continuous use or Custom to specify active hours/days (e.g., disable pre-recording on weekends).

Use Cases for Pre-Recording

• Incomplete Event Capture: Resolves delays in motion detection, ensuring recordings start earlier.
• Extended Monitoring: Suitable for users needing continuous coverage without frequent battery replacements.
• Limited PIR Range: Compensates for shorter detection distances by capturing footage prior to trigger.

Notes for Argus PT Ultra Users
This model supports three frame rate modes:

• Stream Mode (default for live viewing).
• Smart Battery Mode (adjusts based on battery level).
• Pre-Recording Mode (prioritized in low-frame-rate scenarios).

Note: During live viewing or triggered alerts, the frame rate defaults to Stream Mode.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please contact Reolink Support.

If you want to receive instant email alerts (with snapshots!) from your Reolink cameras, NVR, or Home Hub when motion is detected, SMTP configuration is key. Let’s break down what SMTP is and how to set it up for your Reolink devices.

What is SMTP?
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a communication protocol used to send emails between servers. Reolink devices use SMTP to deliver alerts directly to your inbox whenever motion is detected, ensuring you’re always informed—even when you’re away from your surveillance area. This feature adds an extra layer of security by letting you act quickly in critical situations.

Step-by-Step SMTP Configuration
Step 1: Access Email Alert Settings

1. Open the Reolink App and log in to your device.
2. Tap the ️ Device Settings icon (top-right corner).
3. Navigate to Email Alerts.

Step 2: Enable & Configure Email Alerts

1. Toggle Enable Email Alerts ON.
2. Tap Set Up Now.
3. Enter the Sender Email Address and its Password (the account that will send alerts).
4. Fill in the SMTP Server and SMTP Port (see notes below).
5. Tap Save to confirm.

SMTP Server & Port Tips:

• For Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook: The app will auto-fill the SMTP server/port once you enter the email address.
• For other providers (e.g., iCloud, ProtonMail): Manually input the SMTP server/port. Check your email provider’s documentation for details.

Step 3: Customize Email Settings
Tap Email Settings to adjust:

1. Sender Email: Must match your SMTP server.
2. Password: Use the sender email’s password.
   1. Security Tip: For accounts with 2FA (like Gmail), generate an App Password instead of your main password. Learn more.
3. Recipient Email: Enter the email that will receive alerts. This can be the same as the sender’s address or a different one.
4. Email Content: Choose to attach Pictures/Video or send Text-only alerts.
5. Email Interval:
   • Set a time limit (e.g., 10 minutes) to avoid spam. Only one email will be sent per interval, even if multiple alarms trigger.
   • Note: Battery-powered cameras do not support interval settings.

Step 4: Test Your Configuration

1. Tap Test to verify if alerts send successfully.
2. If the test fails, troubleshoot using our guide: Reolink Email Test Failed.

Step 5: Set Up Email Schedule

1. Tap Schedule to customize when alerts are sent.
2. Alarm Schedule: Receive emails only when motion is detected during selected times/days.
3. Timer: Receive emails regularly at set times (based on your Email Interval), regardless of motion.
   • Note: Battery cameras do not support Timer mode.

Key Notes
For Battery-Powered Cameras:

• No Email Interval or Timer settings.
• Alerts depend solely on motion detection.

SMTP Server Requirements:

• Ensure SSL/TLS is enabled (ports 465/587 are recommended).
• Double-check server/port accuracy for non-Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook accounts.

If you're using a Reolink Home Hub with battery-powered cameras like the Argus 3 Ultra, Argus Eco Ultra, or Doorbell Battery, you might wonder: "How long can my microSD card or HDD store recordings?" Let’s break it down!

Key Factors That Affect Recording Duration
1️⃣ Bit Rate & Resolution:
