Reolink security cams gain 'Works With Home Assistant' certification

Reolink has become the first security camera manufacturer to obtain Works With Home Assistant certification for its Wi-Fi home security cameras. This means Reolink's cameras--not including its 4G models--can now process video feeds, AI alerts, and device controls entirely within users' home networks to enhance user privacy. Home Assistant is a free and open-source smart home software platform managed by the Open Home Foundation. It has been embraced by many DIY smart home enthusiasts, and it can run on lots of different hardware, ranging from Raspberry Pi and Arm processors to the 64-bit x86 architecture commonly found in Mini PCs. It can even operate as a virtual machine on a laptop or desktop running MacOS or Windows.
