Floodlight cameras are great at catching porch pirates and lighting up dark driveways. They’re not so great at making installation painless. Most of them need a hardwired electrical connection, which means you’re either hiring an electrician or getting creative with extension cords that weren’t meant to live outdoors. Reolink’s new Solar Floodlight Cam takes the wiring out of the equation entirely.
Launched today as part of Reolink’s annual Spring Event, the Solar Floodlight Cam is the company’s first floodlight camera that runs on solar power alone. It’s available now for $87.99 (down from $109.99) on both the Reolink store and Amazon, with the sale price running through March 31.

What you’re getting for under $90
The camera shoots 2K video at 4MP resolution through a 150-degree ultra-wide lens. That’s wide enough to cover a full driveway or backyard without blind spots eating into your footage.
On the lighting side, dual floodlights push up to 1,000 lumens with adjustable color temperature ranging from 3000K to 6000K. You can dial in warm light for a front porch or cold white for maximum visibility along a dark side yard. The floodlights tie into the camera’s AI detection system, so they can trigger different lighting responses depending on whether the camera spots a person, vehicle, or animal.
That AI detection runs on-device rather than in the cloud. Person, vehicle, and animal classification happens locally, which means faster alerts and fewer false notifications from swaying branches or passing headlights. When something does trigger the system, you’ll get push notifications or email alerts through the Reolink app.
For deterrence beyond the floodlights, the camera includes a 110dB siren and two-way audio. You can talk to whoever’s at the door (or shoo away whatever’s in the garden) and trigger the siren remotely if needed.
Solar power and the battery question
Reolink’s SolarEase Enhanced technology handles the charging here, with a photoelectric conversion efficiency rated at 26%. The camera also packs a 7,800mAh rechargeable battery as backup for cloudy stretches or shorter winter days. The combination means you can mount this anywhere with decent sun exposure and stop thinking about it.
Connectivity runs through dual-band Wi-Fi 6 on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Wi-Fi 6 support is a nice inclusion at this price point, since it helps maintain a stable live view and faster clip downloads compared to older standards that still ship on budget cameras.
No subscriptions, no monthly fees
One of the quieter selling points here: there’s no subscription required. Recordings save directly to a local microSD card (the camera accepts up to 512GB), and you’re not paying monthly fees to access your own footage. If you’re building out a larger setup, it’s also compatible with the Reolink Home Hub and NVR systems for centralized storage and management.
Google Assistant integration works now, letting you pull up a live feed on a Nest Hub or Chromecast-enabled display. Alexa support is listed as coming soon.
How it fits in Reolink’s lineup
Reolink already sells several wired floodlight cameras, starting with the Duo Floodlight WiFi at around $135 and running up to the Elite Pro Floodlight at $339. The Solar Floodlight Cam comes in well below all of them while adding the convenience of completely wire-free installation. You’re trading some resolution (2K versus 4K on the higher-end models) and the dual-lens panoramic views, but you’re gaining flexibility in placement and a significantly lower price.
At $87.99 during the spring sale, this sits in impulse-buy territory for a security camera with built-in floodlights, solar charging, and on-device AI. The regular $109.99 price still keeps it competitive.

The 7,800mAh battery stores power for extended cloudy periods. The SolarEase technology also charges in lower light conditions, rated down to 1,000 lux illuminance.
Can I install the Solar Floodlight Cam myself?
Yes. The completely wireless design means no electrical wiring is needed. Mount it anywhere with sufficient sunlight, connect to Wi-Fi through the Reolink app, and you’re set.

What’s the difference between this and Reolink’s other floodlight cameras?
The Solar Floodlight Cam is Reolink’s first solar-powered floodlight model. It shoots in 2K with a single lens, while the wired models (Duo Floodlight, Elite, TrackFlex) offer 4K resolution and dual-lens panoramic views. The tradeoff is completely wire-free installation and a lower price.
