Reolink: Enabling Smarter Security Cameras

With managed IoT connectivity from Telenor IoT, Reolink supports selected cellular-connected camera solutions for customers who need reliable visibility in places where fixed networks are not always available.

Security cameras are no longer only installed where Wi-Fi or fixed broadband is easy to reach. Increasingly, they are needed in remote homes, farms, construction sites, outdoor business premises, temporary locations and other hard-to-wire environments.

For Reolink, this makes cellular connectivity an important part of delivering flexible, user-friendly security solutions.

Reolink is a global provider of intelligent visual technology for home and business security. The company’s products are now trusted by millions of users across more than 110 countries and regions, with a portfolio that includes Wi-Fi, PoE, floodlight, doorbell, storage and battery-powered 4G LTE camera solutions.

Reolink selected Telenor IoT’s Global SIMs and managed connectivity to enable its expansion into global markets.

Challenge: Reliable Camera Connectivity Beyond Fixed Networks

For Reolink, the challenge is not only enabling cameras to connect beyond fixed networks. It is supporting cellular-connected products across key markets while keeping deployment, activation, and ongoing connectivity management simple.

In these environments, cameras need to be easy to deploy, reliable over time, and able to provide the connectivity required for remote visibility and monitoring.

That requires connectivity that is reliable, easy to manage, suitable for battery-powered and solar-powered devices, and supported by a partner with experience in managed IoT deployments.

“Reolink is committed to making intelligent security solutions easier to deploy and more reliable for users around the world. Cellular connectivity plays an important role in enabling cameras to operate where Wi-Fi or fixed broadband may not be available. Telenor IoT gives us a managed connectivity foundation that supports reliable, flexible camera deployments in key markets.

Solution: Managed Connectivity from Telenor IoT

Telenor IoT provides SIMs and managed connectivity to support selected Reolink cellular / 4G LTE camera solutions.

The setup includes 2FF, 3FF, 4FF and triple SIMs, managed connectivity, roaming, platform access, lifecycle management and SOC support. Telenor IoT also provides Private APN, Internet Breakout, RADIUS, Global APN, and regional points of presence in the EU, US and Singapore.

This gives Reolink a managed connectivity foundation for cellular camera deployments in key markets. Instead of managing connectivity as a separate operational challenge in each region, Reolink can rely on Telenor IoT to support the connectivity layer behind selected cellular-connected products.

For a company with products trusted by users across more than 110 countries and regions, this helps reduce operational complexity while supporting continued international growth.

Reolink is a strong example of how managed IoT connectivity can help product companies support cellular-connected devices at scale. By supporting selected Reolink camera solutions with managed connectivity, roaming, lifecycle management and regional network infrastructure, we help enable reliable visibility in places where traditional connectivity may not reach.
