The Simple Home Security Upgrade Designed to Help You Feel Safer at Home

In summer, when you may have a trip abroad planned, and guests come and go all season, securing your home becomes more important than ever.

As well as investing in one of the best video doorbells, security cameras like the Reolink OMVI 3i POE, can further enhance the protection of your property with multi-lens surveillance. Once installed, this easy-to-use, reliable solution delivers full 360° monitoring to keep your property safe and secure, whether you’re at home or away.

As 23% of Brits worry about burglaries or break-ins, but over a quarter (26.6%) have never considered any precautions against these to protect their home, Reolink's OMVI 3i POE is the ideal comprehensive solution for securing your home not only in the busy summer months, but all year-round too.

Why Home Security Matters

Your home is the most important investment you’ll ever make, so it makes sense that protecting it properly is equally as important. So, why is home security so often overlooked?

The majority of people remember the basics − an alarm system, a bolt or chain on the front door, and even a video doorbell. But it’s outdoor spaces, like driveways and side entrances, which often end up as an afterthought, which is where a home security camera conveniently offers protection and peace of mind, without any hassle or fuss.

‘People put so much thought into how their home looks and feels, but security often gets left behind,’ warns Ali Park, UK Country Manager at Reolink. ‘The good news is that modern solutions like the OMVI 3i PoE are designed to fit into that same considered approach to the home, without compromising on how it looks or how easy it is to live with.’

Know the Areas of Your Home Most Worth Protecting

Most crucially, awareness of which areas are most worth protecting, but that you might be neglecting, is the first step to a more secure home.

Ali explains, ‘The areas people tend to overlook, such as side passages, garden gates, and the space between the front door and the driveway, are often the ones that matter most.’

Of course, you can’t keep an eye on these areas at all times of the day, particularly when heading off on holiday over summer, which is why investing in your home security with a home security camera is so important.

‘A camera with full 360° coverage means you're not having to guess which angle to cover; it does the thinking for you,’ adds Ali.

Choosing the Right Solution − What to Look for in a Home Security Camera

360° coverage isn’t the only thing to consider when choosing a home security camera, either. Ease of installation, field of view, image quality, smart alerts, and whether the product you pick will work reliably without ongoing fees or complex maintenance are all equally important.

The OMVI 3i PoE (RRP £249.99) ticks all of these considerations, yet doesn’t require any technical expertise. For that reason, it’s the perfect solution for everything from burglar-proofing your front door to securing your home for the holidays.

With full 360° monitoring via the triple-lens system, including a pan-tilt tracking lens, you’ll have complete coverage of your entire home and yard, making it easy to secure your home, even without a security system. The additional feature of SyncTrack auto-follow also means moving objects, detected by the panoramic camera, are automatically followed, while the Auto Framing function zooms in to clearly centre the subject. This offers unparalleled peace of mind, particularly when away from home.

From the Reolink App, users can easily view both the panoramic overview and close-up tracking feed at the same time, and even tap any area of the panoramic view to instantly redirect the pan-tilt tracking lens for a closer look. Additionally, the inclusion of ReoNeura™ AI means users can also quickly search videos and retrieve video clips. This smart feature also works to override any false alerts with accurate on-device detection.

‘We designed the OMVI 3i PoE for people who want serious security without the serious setup,’ says Ali. ‘The triple-lens system gives you complete coverage of your property, and because it tracks and zooms automatically, you don't have to manage it constantly.’

The best part? With the Reolink OMVI 3i PoE, you can enjoy all of these smart features, with no subscription required.
