Next-Gen Security, Greener Living: Introducing the Reolink x Qualcomm Power Efficient Series
Home security should give you peace of mind, not a recurring calendar reminder to swap batteries. For too long, wireless cameras have forced an uncomfortable trade-off: convenience or reliability. Either the battery drains at a critical moment, or you settle for a wired setup that limits where you can place a camera.
Reolink is changing that equation. In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a global leader in wireless technology, Reolink has launched its Power Efficient Series: a lineup of battery-powered cameras and doorbells engineered to last dramatically longer, respond faster, and work harder without demanding more from you.
The Tech Behind the Leap
The difference starts with the chip. Every device in the Power Efficient Series runs on the Qualcomm® QCC730 micro-power Wi-Fi solution, purpose-built for connected devices that need to stay on without staying plugged in.
In real-world testing, a standard IoT Wi-Fi camera lasted 78 days at 5 minutes of daily use. Reolink's Power Efficient Series cameras such as the Argus Magicam, lasted 153 days under the same conditions: up to 96% longer battery life. Here is what drives that result:
- Ultra-low standby power consumption: the camera draws minimal energy while idle and activates only when it detects something
- Fast, accurate wake-up: no sluggish response when motion is detected; alerts reach you in moments, not minutes
- No compromise on clarity or detection: energy efficiency does not mean blurry footage or missed events
- No subscription required for AI features: person, vehicle, animal, and package detection all run locally on the device, at no extra cost
Meet the Power Efficient Series
Argus MagiCam
A fully wire-free, cube-shaped 2MP camera built for maximum placement flexibility. Its magnetic mounting system lets you install or reposition it in seconds, with no tools required, on any metal or smooth, flat surface s (with adhesive). IP67 weatherproofing makes it equally at home outdoors as it is on an indoor shelf. On-device human detection keeps false alerts low, and smart power management delivers up to 9 months of battery life on a single set of AA lithium batteries. For permanent setups, a USB-C cable enables continuous 24/7 recording.
2MP Wireless Power-Efficient Camera
Magnetic Mounting for Easy Installation, Max. 9-Month Battery Life, Dual-Band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, No Monthly Fees.
Video Doorbell 2nd Gen
A front-door upgrade that covers everything from visitor to package. The 2K 4MP resolution with a 1:1 square aspect ratio captures a full body frame, so you never miss a face or a delivery. On-device smart detection recognises people, vehicles, animals, and packages, with no cloud subscription needed. HDR support ensures clear footage even in tricky lighting conditions.
Run it on its built-in rechargeable battery for up to 10 months between charges, wire it into your existing doorbell system for continuous 24/7 recording, or pair it with the optional solar charger for a setup that never needs charging at all. It also integrates with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and Home Assistant.
2K Battery Wi-Fi Video Doorbell with Smart Detection
- 2K 4MP Head-to-Toe View
- Person/Vehicle/Animal/Package Detection
- 300-Day Lasting Battery Life
- No Monthly Fees for Local Storage
Video Doorbell SE (Launching Q3 2026)
A 3MP Wi-Fi doorbell designed for simple, dependable front-door coverage at an accessible price point. It runs on standard AA batteries for up to 8 months, so there is nothing to recharge. Just swap the batteries when needed and get straight back to full coverage. Its 4:3 aspect ratio view captures both visitors and packages clearly, and local AI detection for people, vehicles, animals, and packages is included with no extra cost such as subscription fees or storage fees.
E1 Swift (Launching Q3 2026)
A 2K indoor PT camera built for keeping an eye on what matters most inside your home: pets, young children, or elderly family members. With 340 degrees of horizontal pan and 50 degrees of vertical tilt, it covers an entire room without blind spots, and auto-tracking for persons and animals means it follows movement automatically so you do not have to. Run it wired for continuous 24/7 recording, or drop in 4 AA batteries for up to 4 months of wire-free coverage. It switches between modes automatically, so a power outage never leaves you without a feed.
A Smarter Way to Protect Your Home
The collaboration between Reolink and Qualcomm Technologies goes beyond powering a single product line. It reflects a shared vision for the future of smart home security: devices that are more intelligent, more energy efficient, and easier to live with every day. By combining Reolink’s user-focused security innovation with advanced wireless and low-power connectivity solutions from Qualcomm Technologies, the Power Efficient Series marks an important step in Reolink’s broader strategy to deliver next-generation, truly wire-free protection for more homes.
