Reolink unveiled its Home Hub 2 at IFA 2026 as the next-generation local storage and management hub for Reolink cameras. The Home Hub 2 brings ReoNeura on-device AI to the center of the home security system, combining Local AI Video Search with support for a 2.5-inch HDD/SSD of expandable local storage and centralized control for up to eight Reolink cameras.
Home Hub 2 features and specs
The Home Hub 2 features Cross-Camera Tracking, which follows a detected object across cameras and merges it into a single video.
An upcoming firmware update will add Custom AI Detection and AI self-learning, which lets users define and train the system to recognize scenarios unique to their space, such as a side gate left open, for smarter, more relevant alerts.
Home Hub 2 also supports sending alerts, including images, to Discord, Telegram, and Slack.
Setup is done through the Reolink App, where users can view high-definition live feeds and playback from multiple cameras, or use the time-lapse feature to condense long events like sunrises or construction projects into seconds.
A built-in alarm center sounds a siren when any connected camera is triggered, with a choice of ringtones or a custom sound.
Local AI Video Search lets users search locally stored recordings across all connected cameras using simple keywords. All searches run locally on the hub, with no cloud subscription required.
A new SATA slot supports up to a 2.5-inch HDD/SSD, alongside a microSD card slot supporting up to 1TB. Bank-level encryption protects recordings against unauthorized access, even if a camera or microSD card is stolen.
The Home Hub 2 also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free viewing on Echo Show and Google Nest Hub displays. All features are available without a subscription or monthly fees.
