The Reolink Go is a wireless security camera that has no need for WiFi

Setting up a smart security camera in your house is getting simpler by the day, but what if you want one in your shed, in your holiday home, on your boat, or on a tree? What then, eh? These are all suggested locations for the Reolink Go, a security camera that doesn’t require a WiFi connection to work. When there isn’t one available, it can hop onto a 4G network, provided you’re happy to sign up to a data plan. Completely wireless, you can power the Go with either a rechargeable battery or an optional solar panel, with weatherproofing ensuring it really can go anywhere. Otherwise, the feature set is as you’d expect: night vision, two-way audio, motion detection, smartphone notifications and an app-based 1080p livestream that you can check on whenever you like. Pre-orders start at $119.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
