Elevating UHD surveillance to 16MP
As the latest addition to Reolink’s 16MP series, the Duo 3 WiFi<!–> is a plug-in security camera that aims to solve the bugaboos of blurriness, blind spots, and slow streaming. Its dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-Fi 6 capability assures zippy and reliable live streaming to capture images within its ultra-wide 180-degree view.
I don’t want to underplay the Duo 3’s 16MP resolution as many home security cameras top out at 8MP. With double that resolution and dual 4K sensors, the Duo 3’s ultra high-def clarity will capture the finest details in your surveillance area (like facial features or numbers on a license plate). What’s more, app users can manually zoom in to reveal intricate details.

Reolink credits this level of clarity to its image-stitching algorithm that prompts the dual-lens camera to merge two images into one with virtually no distortion. Couple that capability with an expansive 180-degree view, and you have a consummate surveillance solution for your home or business.
A cool feature of the Duo 3 is its Motion Track capability, which compresses 15-second motion events into a single image. This tech streamlines the process of reviewing footage, saving tons of time when combing through hours of recordings.
The Duo 3 is available now at Reolink’s website–> for an introductory $30 discount. If you miss that opportunity, Amazon<!–> has the device for $179.

Round-the-clock battery-powered protection
Last September, Reolink launched the Altas PT Ultra, a 4K continuous recording battery camera with a 360-degree blindspot-free view that could record up to 96 hours on a single charge.
Reolink has now upped its game for the Atlas Series by pairing a 20,000 mAh battery with a solar panel that extends that figure to 24-hour continuous recording for up to seven days — an impressive selling point for any wireless camera.
