Reolink has launched the new OMVI Series of triple-lens AI security cameras, featuring a 4K PTZ motorized camera and a fixed dual-lens system that offers a 24/7 180° panoramic view. The camera also supports AI detection and video search, designed to eliminate the typical blind spots of a standard Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera.
The series includes three models: the OMVI 3i PoE, OMVI 3i WiFi, and OMVI X16 PoE. All of them use the same basic design, combining a fixed dual-lens camera for a 180° panoramic view with a separate PTZ camera in a single housing. This setup allows the camera to monitor a wide area continuously while the PTZ lens focuses on and tracks specific objects.

The OMNI cameras are supported by the Reolink mobile app for iOS 15.1+ and Android 8.0+, the Reolink Client for Windows 8.1+ and macOS 10.15+, Reolink NVR, and third-party software thanks to ONVIF support. Data is stored on a microSD card and a subscription is not required, although users can also select cloud backup to the Reolink Cloud.
The OMVI series uses on-device AI to link the panoramic camera with the PTZ module. When the wide-angle lens detects a person, vehicle, or pet, the system automatically triggers the PTZ camera to lock onto and track the subject, adjusting framing in real time (SyncTrack). It also supports manual “Pinpoint” control, where you can click anywhere on the 180° panoramic view and the PTZ camera instantly moves to that location. The AI also enables various event triggers such as line crossing, zone intrusion, and loitering alerts, while reducing false positives from general motion. All video analysis runs locally, including AI-based search using text filters (e.g., by person, vehicle, or attributes), without cloud processing.
The OMVI series is launching in phases. The OMVI 3i PoE is available now for $239.99 on Amazon (after clicking on the 20% discount there) and $299.99 on the official Reolink store. The dual-band OMVI 3i WiFi version will be released on June 17, 2026, priced at $319.99. The higher-end OMVI X16 PoE is expected in Q3 2026, with pricing to be announced later.
