Reolink’s New Floodlight Camera Uses Sensors and AI to Detect Where It Can’t See

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-09 17:30:02

Reolink rolled out a new smart home security camera at IFA 2025 that the company says can see beyond its dual camera lenses. It’s called the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi, and it looks kind of like the Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi, a camera I recently reviewed, but with a ball-shaped camera housing that rotates to see things that three sensors above them have detected. This sensor-based approach gives the camera a 270-degree detection range at any given time, according to a press release that Reol

I'm excited to announce that we're joining OpenAI’s Codex team! When we started out, Xcode had no AI. Building a "Cursor for Xcode" sounded crazy, but we managed to do it anyway. And, over time, we built the best coding agent for iOS & MacOS apps. I'm extremely proud of what we accomplished with Alex. Seeing people build software with our work was surreal.

Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Lets You Place Speakers Anywhere

For years, there have been just two options for better TV sound: A traditional, AV receiver-based home theater system or a soundbar. The AV receiver route is undeniably the best way to go for a truly cinematic experience, but only the most diehard audiophiles are willing to deal with hulking metal boxes, yards of speaker wire, and a minimum of five speakers (plus a subwoofer) that must be placed just so.

Stressed Ice Generates Electricity, Researchers Find

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is imbued with remarkable electromechanical properties. Ice is flexoelectric, so when it’s bent, stretched, or twisted, it can generate electricity, according to a Nature Physics paper published August 27.
