The Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi is a wired security camera that illuminates your property and uses two cameras to capture sharp video of anything entering its wide field of view.
Designed for driveways, backyards, or any area that requires illumination and 24/7 monitoring, the $229.99 Reolink Elite WiFi is a wired floodlight cam that uses two lenses to provide an ultra-wide view of your property. It supports Alexa and Google voice commands, offers local video storage, and delivers sharp 4K video. It’s easy to recommend, but if you require an even wider view, the Eufy E340 Floodlight ($219.99) offers 360 degrees of surveillance via mechanical pan and tilt, and is equipped with both telephoto and wide-angle lenses, making it our Editors’ Choice.Design: Weatherproof, With Bright Floodlights
The Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi features a white enclosure measuring 6.8 by 11.6 by 7.2 inches (HWD) with an IP66 weatherproof rating, protecting it from rain and dust exposure. It has a pair of white LED floodlights with an adjustable color temperature range of 3,000K to 6,000K and a maximum output of 3,000 lumens. That’s much brighter than the Eufy E340 and the Arlo Wired Floodlight ($149.99), both of which produce 2,000 lumens.
Positioned below the lamps is a camera assembly that is mounted on an adjustable arm. The assembly houses two camera lenses that capture a combined 5,120-by-1,552-pixel video at 20 frames per second (fps) and provide a 180-degree field of view via dual image stitching technology. The front of the assembly also features a status LED, a microphone, and three IR LEDs for black-and-white night vision. When the floodlight lamps are active, the cameras will record color video at night.
The bottom of the camera assembly has a speaker, and behind a protective cover is a USB-C power port (used for setup only), a reset button, and a microSD card slot for local storage of recorded video. At the rear of the base are two wires for hardwiring the device to a junction box. Included in the box are wiring nuts and hardware, a wrench for adjusting the camera angle, and a security sticker.Smart Features: AI Helps You Search for Specific Footage
When motion is detected, the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi will record video and store it locally, but you’ll have to supply your own media.
