Reolink Trackmix vs RLC-823A - Which is the BEST PTZ Security Camera?

Today, we are going to compare Reolink's PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) IP PoE Security Cameras. We have the Reolink Trackmix with dual lenses VS the RLC-823A. Both these cameras have the same features like recording in 4K resolution, AI Person, Vehicle and Pet detection, has spotlights for color night vision and has Auto Tracking. Both of them have zoom function but different implementation and will talk more on this video. We will also compare the video quality and see which PTZ camera from Reolink would be a good option for your home.

I've been doing a lot of research to figure out what kind of cameras will complement my property. We have some weird stuff going on like a detached garage in the back of the house in the driveway that goes along the side of the house so there are a lot of considerations for viewing angles, zoom, tracking, etc. Along the way I decided I am interested in a real link set up, but they have so many cameras. You have reviewed every single camera that I am considering and I appreciate the depth and breadth of your reviews.

I’ve got the 823 on the way. If I find it noisy, there are ways to reduce the noise substantially.

Great videos!! Keep up the good work! Thanks

Can you compare them to eufy floodlight cam 2 pro. I want the eufy, but don't want to have 2 or more software to manage, reolink, ring pro and eufy...

[psilver]

Any plans comparing the TrackMix with the Duo 2? I have the latter protecting the two cars and open garage, including the walkway to the front door. Wondering if the TrackMix will be better for that purpose.

Another excellent review in which you put your educated finger on the main pros and cons of each camera. I don't own the TrackMix and never will if the night vision isn't improved somehow.. I do own the 823A and while it's a great image, the autofocus is a joke, sometimes taking 30 seconds. The left/right oscillations should be improved with the latest beta but tracking is still erratic, especially close to the camera. Neither camera is ready for prime time yet imho.

Good reviews. Are there PTZ cameras that allows for integration with external motion sensors to trigger PTZ presets? This way, the camera can pick up activity outside its normal motion sensing area or even when being pointed in the opposite direction.

What NVR do is compatible with the Trackmix? I have the older Rln8-410-e and the two way talk and auto tracking isn't available. I tried on the Rln8-410 version 2, and the same. Any help please?

I don’t know why Reolink put out trackmix but it’s not ready it’s just not there 823A is better in zoom and night vision they didn’t need to make the trackmix smaller than 823A they should’ve kept the same size and put more features into it just make it better overall.

Your camera reviews are just great. Just found you today and instantly subscribed.

Love your videos! I can’t get any help from Reolink, maybe your have better channels. I would like my 823A 4x to be in patrol mode, then auto-track an object if detected, then return to Patrol. Currently can’t return to Patrol mode, and will return to monitoring point (if set), or some random spot if not set. Is this going to be a feature or is there a way to work around this limitation? Thanks for all you do!

[cameronpoole]

Great video. That Trackmix would be a no-brainer if it had better nighttime performance.

[eg]

The sound from the camera 🎥 was not ok !!
Hurt the ear 👂 trying listen to you but that camera is Soo loud

[janine]

Hey @LifeHackster, can you post a video about how to install the plug in reolink cameras? Thx.

[daviddjerf]

Anyone know if Trackmix can track pets?

[MohdRadhwan]

I am patiently waiting for Reolink to release 4K 60fps + 10x optical zoom ip camera....finger cross.

[irshaadkhan]

Would you review the new version of the rlc 823a with 16x optical zoom?

[zerobow]

Nah half ass`ed design Reolink, poor shutter control and lack of is a fail. I have the RLC-822A cams and they are a total blur at night with people walking past that`s tested with with IR and with 2000 Lumens of white light [shutter looks like 1/5 superfail!] you need at least 1/100 & manual/timed night modes -going back to hikvisions.

[Stealther]

Those motors are ridiculously loud. So much so that it makes me question Reolink's management decisions and longterm viability.

[mehdipireh]

Thanks from you, to made all video, RLC_823 ITS A BEST
