Reolink Duo 2 WiFi (Dual-Lens 180°)
- Wi-Fi
Verified September 2026
The original Reolink dual-lens 180° camera, now curiously pricier than its own successor: the newer Elite WiFi offers the same 4K panoramic dual-lens frame, spotlight and siren for around £20 less, plus Wi-Fi 6 for a stronger link — check that first. The Duo 2's fully-local RTSP/ONVIF path via HA's native reolink integration is identical either way, and both take up to 512GB microSD. If you don't need the dual-lens width, the single-lens RLC-811WA is sharper (true 4K, 5x optical zoom) for less, or the budget Lumus adds a spotlight without the wide-angle stitching. The Duo 2 mainly makes sense on a deal that undercuts the Elite.
In Home Assistant
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Camera (per lens) | Camera stream (x2) | Independent Fluent/Balanced/Clear streams per lens |
| Person / Vehicle / Pet detection | Binary sensor (per lens) | AI-based motion classification, tracked separately per lens |
| Siren | Siren | Trigger the built-in alarm |
Each lens is exposed as its own separate camera channel with independent AI-class binary sensors (person/vehicle/pet) rather than one unified 180° entity set — a past HA release even shipped a bug where only one lens's detection sensors registered, confirming the split. Build automations as "Lens0 person OR Lens1 person" to cover the full combined field without duplicating logic per stream, and remember only the Fluent-quality stream is enabled by default per lens — Balanced/Clear need enabling if you want higher-res clips.
