Reolink Go wireless security camera breaks away from home routers

5 pictures The Reolink Go home security camera uses a 4G LTE mobile network rather than a home router for wireless operation, and runs on a rechargeable battery Earlier this month, Anker's eufy EverCam launched on Kickstarter. As well as offering a 365 day battery life, the security camera wirelessly connected to a home router meaning totally cable-free set it and forget it installation. But you'd still need a Wi-Fi connection for it to keep watch over your home. The Reolink Go goes a step or two further, offering 4G mobile connectivity and optional solar battery topups. Hong Kong-based Reolink debuted the Go at CES 2018 in January, and has now launched on Indiegogo to bring the 100 percent wire-free home security camera into production. The Reolink Go is built around a Starlight CMOS sensor that offers 1080p resolution video during the day and night vision when darkness creeps in. Naturally, motion detection is included and the camera can cover 130 degrees of what's in front of the lens. Rather than depending on a home internet connection over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the IP65 weatherproof Go rocks 4G LTE wireless connectivity, with Reolink saying that it will work with mobile network providers such as AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, and O2 and Vodafone in Europe. Of course, the slight downside to enjoying total wireless freedom is that users will need to sort out a data plan with those providers – adding to the setup and running costs. The included 7,800 mAh/3.6 V battery is reported good for 500 minutes of live view or 2 months of standby, but can be charged by an optional solar panel. That live view can be had via an iOS/Android companion app, where users can engage in two-way conversations with tradesmen knocking at the front door and also setup alerts and notifications. Any footage captured by the camera can be stored to microSD, though Reolink does have its own cloud vault. The Reolink Go Indiegogo campaign has about a month left to run, and pledges start at US$119 for the camera, or $176 for the camera and solar panel. If all goes to plan, shipping is estimated to start in July. The video below has more on the project.

The Edward Snowden Interview Closed-circuit television In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance, often used in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public. Special cameras for some of these purposes include line-scan cameras and thermographic cameras which allow operators to measure the temperature of the processes. With the addition of fixed cameras for the active traffic management system, the number of cameras on the Highways Agency's CCTV network is likely to increase significantly over the next few years. The cameras send the feed to a central control center where a producer selects feeds to send to the television monitors that fans can view.  New York C...

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...
