Reolink has announced a new partnership with Home Assistant, a popular automation platform for smart homes. This partnership allows most Reolink cameras, except for the 4G models, to work directly with Home Assistant. The cameras can now handle video feeds, artificial intelligence alerts, and device controls on the user’s own home network. This setup keeps user data local and supports Reolink’s focus on privacy and user control.
Home Assistant is known for its privacy-focused approach and does not depend on cloud services. With over a million active users worldwide, Home Assistant can connect with more than 3,000 brands. By working with Home Assistant, Reolink cameras now give users the ability to keep their data private. Video feeds and information from these cameras stay on the user’s local network. This avoids the need to send data out to external servers, lowering the risk of data breaches and third-party access.
The integration with Home Assistant also means that Reolink cameras can work together with many other devices in a smart home. For example, users can set up their system so that when someone rings a Reolink battery doorbell, outdoor lights turn on or a smart lock secures the gate. All of these actions can happen automatically from one platform. This brings more options for people who want to set up custom security features that fit their needs.
Reolink has reached Platinum-tier partner status with Home Assistant, which is the top classification for brands working with the platform. This level of partnership means faster updates and reliable support for Reolink devices used with Home Assistant. Users can expect their devices to work well together and get support without delays. This partnership aims to give people more trust in their smart home security setup.
Leaders from both Reolink and Home Assistant say this partnership is meant to give users more freedom, control, and privacy. It shows that both companies are listening to what users want when it comes to how their cameras and smart home devices work together. With this new integration, people who use Reolink cameras now have more choices in setting up their security systems.
