7 smart home launches from July 2026, including Ring, Govee, Reolink, Nanoleaf and more
The latest July smart home releases that you might have missed
I can’t quite believe we’re already saying goodbye to July! The past month has been scorching hot and full of smart home launches, despite this time of year being quite slow for new products.
Amongst July’s smart home releases are new and improved security cameras from the likes of Ring, Reolink and SwitchBot, and colourful smart lights to illuminate your outdoors and enhance your streaming.
Below, I’ve rounded up the seven best smart home launches from July 2026 in case you’ve missed them.
1. Ring Outdoor Camera (2nd Gen) and Ring Peephole Camera 2K
Not a month goes by without Ring launching something new, and for July, it announced two new outdoor cameras. Starting with the Ring Outdoor Camera (2nd Gen) has 2K video resolution, up to 6x Enhanced Zoom and true colour low light vision.
The star of the launch is the Ring Peephole Camera 2K, an outdoor camera that also acts as a video doorbell. It replaces your existing peephole without any major installation required, and it has wide views and motion detection so you don’t miss anything. Pre-orders are open for both the Ring Outdoor Camera (2nd Gen) and the Ring Peephole Camera 2K at Amazon with shipping expected in early-mid August.
2. Reolink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen)
Reolink also had a busy July, launching security cameras and video doorbells, like the new Reolink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen). Reolink’s second generation video doorbell has 2K 4MP resolution, head-to-toe views and smart detection that identifies people, pets, vehicles and packages.
The most impressive feature of the Reolink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) is its battery life. It uses Qualcomm's QCC730 micro-power Wi-Fi technology, which Reolink claims extends the doorbell’s runtime by up to 50% and delivers up to 10 months of battery life.
3. SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K
The SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K is seriously impressive, as it doesn’t just detect intruders but it also reacts to them. Using AI, the SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K summarises events in natural language to tell you exactly what’s happening.
Not only does the SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K make it easier to understand what’s going on at your property, but it also makes going through footage easier as you can use natural language prompts like "show me when the car was scratched”. It also has 360° horizontal rotation, 90° vertical movement and a 110° wide-angle lens so you won’t miss a thing.
4. Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera
A new trend in outdoor cameras is having two lenses instead of one to maximise coverage. The Tapo C575D 4K is a perfect example of this, as it has two 4K dual lenses, with one larger camera sitting on top of a smaller one.
Able to monitor two separate areas at one time, the Tapo C575D 4K’s top camera has 170° views while the bottom telephoto lens camera has a motorised pan/tilt movement. As the top camera stays in a fixed position to give you an overview of your home, the bottom camera moves side to side and up and down, and when the top detects events, the bottom follows the action.
5. Govee Outdoor Wall Floodlight
Designed for gardens, patios and driveways, the Govee Outdoor Wall Floodlight is one of the brightest outdoor lights on the market with 3000 lumen of white light. It also comes with up to 16 million colours thanks to its RGBWW technology, and colour temperature can be adjusted between 1,000K - 10,000K.
The Govee Outdoor Wall Floodlight has a surprising amount of tech under its hood. It comes with a built-in PIR motion sensor with a 120° field of view which allows it to detect movement and switch on the light when someone approaches your home. It’s also incredibly easy to install and affordably priced at £99.99/€99.99/$99.99.
6. Nanoleaf Smart LED Monitor Stand
Heading inside, the Nanoleaf Smart LED Monitor Stand combines customisable smart lighting with desk organisation. Created in partnership with Fantaqi, the stand is a solid wood base that measures 100cm x 22.5cm x 12.1cm and supports between 28kg - 70kg – the latter is with a central support column.
To illuminate your desk set-up, the Nanoleaf Smart LED Monitor Stand has dual flux RGB lighting with up to 550 lumens and plenty of colour options. The stand has a front-facing task light and ambient rear light so the desk is illuminated all the way around. It also comes with voice and touch controls, and is compatible with Matter.
7. Shelly Wall Display X1i
The Shelly Wall Display X1i is similar to the Echo Hub but it comes in a smaller, more streamlined package. Measuring just 4 inches, the Shelly Wall Display X1i can sit easily on your wall, and even replace your light switch.
For easy smart home control, the Shelly Wall Display X1i connects your devices together in one centralised location. It has proximity, gesture and luminosity sensors so the hub responds naturally to what’s happening around your home. It also has an ultra-fast quad-core processor for quick and smooth responses.
