HONG KONG, March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Reolink has announced the world's first and only 100% wire-free battery-powered pan-tilt smart home camera – Reolink Keen, which was first unveiled in CES 2017.
Why the need for a battery-operated security IP camera? Traditional wireless security cameras provide video surveillance even when there are no network cables.
"Inspired by a user of a C2 camera who was frustrated by running wires to a power outlet to monitor his baby, we decided to create a wire-free battery-powered camera," said Colin Liu, the CEO of Reolink. "As a father of two kids, I've also been thinking about keeping an eye on my own children without dealing with the hassle of wires, as well as covering the whole area of the baby's room. That's why Reolink Keen was developed."
At the end of 2016, Reolink launched a feedback program - Play & Say, to invite testers for the prototype of Reolink Keen, aimed at improving its features and serving users in a better way. Thanks to all the testers' suggestions and hardwork of the Reolink R&D team, Reolink Keen is finally able to meet market demands, dealing with issues that most customers are concerned about for battery-operated Wi-Fi cameras, such as quick battery drain, constant false motion alarms, limited viewing area, etc. Combining 100% wire-free, long battery life, pan & tilt, external PIR motion sensor, two-way audio, 1080p HD videos day & night, and more, the Reolink Keen defines what a top battery operated video surveillance camera should be.
100% Wire-Free
Reolink Keen frees homeowners from cords and wiring hassles. Without a base station, users can put Reolink Keen anywhere in the house and move it from the living room to dining room, then to a nursery without much effort. It also offers great convenience for people who rent a house and move frequently.
Long Battery Life & No Frequent Battery Change
Battery powered video surveillance cameras can monitor anything suspicious during outages when normal wired ones fail to. Additionally, what good is a battery-operated WiFi camera that needs battery changes often? With advanced power-saving technology, Reolink Keen offers you a long battery life for months, with no frequent battery replacement.
355° Pan & 105° Tilt
Pan and tilt is another excellent feature, making Reolink Keen stand out from its counterparts. Almost all battery powered cameras in the market today are unable to rotate. Coming with a wide rotating angle – 355° horizontally and 105° vertically, Reolink Keen pan-tilt wire-free camera sees every corner of the home with easy pan and tilt control.
PIR Motion Sensor for Smart and Accurate Alarms
Another major downside of most security cameras is frequent false alerts. Reolink Keen smart home camera fixes it with a smart wireless PIR motion sensor, offering accurate alerts in real-time.
1080p Full HD Videos, Day and Night
Low image quality, say, 720p or lower, is another con most customers complain about with video cameras. Offering true 1080p high definition, Reolink Keen views sharp and crystal videos & images in 1920x1080 resolution. 40-foot night vision enables a clear view at low-light conditions, or at night.
Some other excellent features of Reolink Keen include:
- Two-way audio
- Remote viewing and control on smartphones
- Instant & intelligent motion detection alerts
- Built-in SD card slot
- Easy of use
"Considering the need for outdoor use, we are about to unveil a 100% wire-free waterproof 1080p Full HD camera – Reolink Argus, guarding homeowners rain or shine." Collin Liu said. Stay tuned for the latest Argus update via Facebook and Twitter, or subscribe to Reolink's newsletter.
