REOLINK TrackMix PoE Dual-Lens PTZ Security Camera 6X Hybrid Zoom Tracking

This review is regarding the REOLINK "TrackMix PoE Grey Dual-Lens PTZ Security Camera 6X Hybrid Zoom | 4K 355° Pan & 90° Tilt Auto Tracking" power over ethernet camera. The camera itself is well built. The housing and mount plate are metal and should stand up to sunshine and weather. The camera provides a clear image that, when mounted about 10ft (305cm) above ground level, makes license plates readable out to about 125ft (~40m). Motion tracking works well and audio quality is decent. I've read in other comments that the plastic fades with time. I have other Track Mix POE versions that have a plastic housing and, because I paint the housings the same color as the surface to which they are mounted, have not found this to be a problem. Those have been in operation since the Track Mix POE was first introduced and have been totally trouble free. These are installed in exposed locations that receive intense sunlight and are exposed to temperatures from about -25C to +40C. They have proved reliable and trouble-free under those conditions. These cameras do not require any sort of subscription in order to be accessed remotely from the internet. All functionality is enabled out-of-the-box and likewise not subject to a subscription in order to be enabled. These are an excellent value, particularly when considering what you get for the price. I don't hesitate to recommend this camera.

I’ve had this camera covering my driveway and it’s easily one of the best security cameras I’ve used. The dual-lens setup is genuinely useful. You get the full wide view while the second lens gives you a closer view of the person or vehicle being tracked. The camera can pan and tilt to follow the subject rather than just recording them as they move out of frame. Tip for anyone using Home Assistant: this integrates extremely well. You can bring the camera feeds into your dashboard, use the person/vehicle/pet detection as triggers for automations, control PTZ functions, and use saved PTZ positions. I have mine incorporated into my Home Assistant security setup and that flexibility is a big reason I like the PoE version. One setup tip I wish I knew earlier: calibrate the PTZ after installation. If your presets aren’t returning exactly where you expect, run the PTZ calibration before assuming something is wrong with the camera. That has resolved inaccurate preset positioning for other TrackMix users as well. Picture quality is excellent, tracking works well, and PoE means one Ethernet cable handles the connection and power. If you’re already running a local security system or Home Assistant, this is an especially good choice. 5 stars. Excellent camera, but it’s the integration and flexibility that really make it worth it.

This is the best security camera! I really like the zoom and field of view with the wide angle lens. I have it mounted above my porch. It allows me to see packages on the porch and scan the entire front of the house. I will be buying these again for my new house. This pairs well with the Reolink NVR.

The REOLINK PTZ TrackMix was a good upgrade from my Ring Spotlight Camera. This is obviously a more robust camera than the other cameras on the market for the price range. Here are some Pros and Cons that I came across after setting up multiple REOLINK Cameras. Pros 1. Video Quality is great with the spotlight on, or using just the night vision. 2. Continuous Recording does work using the NVR hub or without when adding a 256 GB SD card (around 2 weeks of storage). 3. PTZ Camera works great when placed above your front door so you can see your Amazon packages by tilting down while away. 4. The software app does allow you to view your camera or preview all cameras at once using Windows or Apple Devices 5. You can hook up the NVR and see your cameras on your TV via an HDMI input. 6. You can download your recorded clips to your phone or computer if needed. 7. Spotlight is bright enough for my small backyard 8. The 2 way talk is convenient when you have kids at home, and they don't have their phone on, and you need to talk to them directly. 9. The App and device is not as intrusive with asking permission to all your resources on your phone as the EUFY was. 10. No need to pay for a subscription because you can access REOLINK recorded footage directly from the SD Card or from the NVR system. Trackmix can be use locally recorded only if needed. 11. Using the Playback mode on the PC runs really well. Thinking of using this system for our church since PoE works really well to carry sound, video, and power to the camera. You can also plug it into a power source as well. 12. Faster connection when viewing my cameras remotely than the EUFY and around the same speed as the Ring. 13. You can buy a corner mount to install on the corner of your house, which extends your field of view Cons 1. Despite having the sensitivity settings at high, middle, or low, the PTZ camera will miss motion events from time to time. The PTZ tracking didn't even record the possum in my backyard that I trapped, despite the animal walking right under the camera, which is attached to my 6ft privacy fence. Elevation could help with detection. 2. PTZ doesn't detect well if the motion is below the camera or if the camera is point away from the object until it walks in front of the lens. 3. It's large and noticeable, so no disguising this camera. 4. The App needs work because some settings are buried under other random settings that you wouldn't think to look for, but it does what I need it to do. 5. This model doesn't have the automated presets that the PTZ Camera will follow like the RLC-823S2. 6. Limited wide view if mounted 6ft.

Reolink earned repeat business with this one. Incredible visual quality, the motion tracking is excellent, night vision is stellar, and the unit just feels and acts like a truly premium product. As part of a POE security system, you can't ask for much more capability. It IS quite large, and it's certainly not discreet, so be mindful of where you mount it. Mine is installed on my elevated back patio, with the ability to pan to cover 3/4 of my backyard and enough visual quality to watch birds at the feeder.

just installed an 8 camera reolink system. i will be brief, and i write this as someone who has installed a lot of camera systems: 1. these are much less expensive than prior systems i've installed. for the function? it's a small fraction. 2. they are very easy to activate - but note, you do need to scan the QR code. I added them to the app first, then the nvr. 3. from time to time the nvr glitches: the picture on the camera stays in IR mode while in the app it is color. power cycling doesn't fix it, but going in and changing the camera from color mode to (I forget what) and back does. 4. the AI function of these things if flat out creepy, but very effective. highly recommended.

First off, I've been installing cameras since they were all black and white. I have mixed feelings about Reolink. Price wise, they are cheap. And unfortunately , you get what you pay for. So, this trackmix. The picture quality when compared to other brands 4k is acceptable but not great. The dual lens feature works as long as your jot trying to see something that is more than 30 feet away.the second (zoom) lens quality is no better yhan if you simply took the main image and magnified it digitally. I mounted mine 20 feet off the ground and 20 feet from the sidewalk that runs adjacent to my home and it's disapointing. Some background. I have 6 outdoor Reolink cameras and there are a few warnings that you just know. #1 They are not UV stabilized and start turning yellow within a few months. #2 image quality is poorer than other brands (except for the poe3 wide 4k model) Even on the reolink 12k model it's ok at best. #3 You MUST record the camera onto an NVR i use ubiquity as my primary recorder and have a Lorex nvr record as a secondary backup unit. Why? Because if you depend on the cameras internal card to save video IT WILL LET YOU DOWN! I can't tell you how many times i have checked the app for an event only to find that the camera did mot record it! (I generally look at the app first, get the time, and then find the event on my NVR. #4 The built in white LEDS are annoying. I like them another but they are terrible. Either they continuously turn on due to rain or flying insects or they just don't see a person and don't turn on at all, they are completly unreliable. Settings are frustrating. If you crank sensitively to max you get false alarms and the lights keep turning on bothering neighbors or you turn it down a little and it doesn't record events. Lastly people detection works very poorly at might. Doesn't matter if the camera is in night IR mode or mot. It's almost October here. I'm not going to take this down this year but come spring time this is coming down. 3 pictures First shows poor quality in clear mode person is 30 feet directly in front of camera and it looks like a 1080p camera. #2 Reolink states no lag, not true zoom camera is 3 seconds behind main lens #3 shows overall quality with larger image.

I have been using this Reolink TrackMix PoE camera for about a month to monitor my driveway and front yard. Setup was straightforward once connected to a PoE switch, and performance has been reliable. What I like • Very clear 4K video during the day and night • Dual lens view is useful for wide coverage and close up detail at the same time • Auto tracking follows people and vehicles smoothly • PoE connection is stable with no Wi Fi dropouts What could be better • Initial PoE setup may be confusing for beginners • Motion detection needs some tuning to avoid false alerts Overall, this is a solid outdoor PTZ camera with strong video quality and useful tracking features. I would recommend it for anyone who wants wider coverage than a standard fixed camera and plans to use a wired PoE setup.

Very good quality. Easy to set up

الكاميرا قوية وسريعة لانها poe ولكن تحتاج الي حاقن شبكة مهم لن تعمل بدونه ايضا تحتاج ذاكرة داخليه ٦٤ اقل شي للتسجيل والعودة للاشعارات او تخزين سينولوجي ايضا تدعمه كاميرا يرفع لها القبعة موديل قوي اشتريت منها نظام شبكة poe و ايضا WIFI كلها ممتازة جدا انصح بهذا الموديل اذا كان لديك تمديدات للكاميرات مسبقا

Setting up cameras usually takes a lot of work but this one was a breeze to set up and use every day. The clarity on the video is so high that you can tell exactly what is going on at all times. Having such clear resolution makes the tracking feature even more impressive because it feels like it has its own mind as it stays with moving targets. It is great because we do not have to constantly pan or tilt anything ourselves since the camera does the heavy lifting for us. We can see every detail in the backyard and there are no blurry shots here! The 4k quality makes such a difference when you look back at recordings or check your phone live. It covers wide areas without any trouble and keeps things crisp even when it is zooming to follow motion around the the house. Knowing that we have such a clear view of our property brings us so much comfort during the day and night as well. The build quality feels very sturdy too which gives me confidence in how long it will stay out in the elements. For anyone who wants sharp video and great motion tracking this is a top tier choice for watching your home!

Setup camera to monitor our driveway for kids doing knock and run aways. First day after install caught them at it. Sample image above. Works well but the deterrence works even better. Very obvious and easy to see it is tracking movement. Simple to set up, just one Cat 6 cable to run for a POE install. Unfortunately we are on a laneway so it doesn't cover everything but the camera is great.

Awesome PTZ camera, very clear resolution and fast tracking.
