REOLINK Home Hub Pro - Centralized Security Hub for Up to 24 Cams

Our review of the REOLINK Home Hub Pro finds it best suited to homeowners and small businesses that already use Reolink cameras and want a private, large-capacity, local recording solution. The biggest reason to buy is its all-in-one approach: centralized management for up to 24 Reolink devices with a pre-installed 2TB HDD (expandable to 16TB), offline AES-128 encrypted storage, and a responsive hub that reduces lag when viewing or playing back high-resolution footage.

Key Features

• All-in-One Control: Centralized storage and alarm management for wired, wireless, PoE cameras and doorbells lets users monitor up to 24 Reolink devices in a single app view for easier system-wide oversight.
• Generous Local Storage: Ships with a pre-installed 2TB HDD and supports up to 16TB total, which accommodates extended continuous recording without monthly cloud fees.
• Privacy and Offline Recording: Built-in AES-128 encryption and LAN-supported storage keep footage private and inaccessible without the correct password, even if a device is lost or stolen.
• Smart Alerts and Siren: Daily/weekly/monthly detection summaries and a 120dB siren that triggers on AI-detected motion give fast, actionable alerts and deterrence options.
• High-Resolution Streaming: Preview and playback at each camera's top resolution, supporting up to 8K multi-device streaming for detailed surveillance review.
• Wi-Fi 6 Ready: Support for Wi-Fi 6 enables smoother, low-latency transfers when paired with compatible routers and devices to reduce lag.

Who It's For

The Home Hub Pro is ideal for Reolink users who want a private, local-first security system: homeowners, rental property managers, and small business owners who already own or plan to buy multiple Reolink cameras. It is particularly useful for anyone who needs long-term continuous recording and sizeable on-site storage without ongoing subscription costs.

It is not for users who want to mix third-party cameras, since the hub does not support non-Reolink devices, or for those who rely primarily on cloud-only backups or microSD plus HDD simultaneous saving, because the microSD cannot record when an HDD is installed.

Pros & Cons

• Fast streaming and Wi-Fi 6 support reduce lag and improve multi-camera playback performance.

Cons

• Does not support third-party cameras, so it locks you into the Reolink ecosystem.
