Reolink Trackmix Review - 4K Dual Lens Security Camera with Motion Tracking (PoE & WiFi)

Today, we are going to review the Reolink Trackmix. This is a dual lens (zoom & wide lenses) PTZ security camera from Reolink that has smart AI motion tracking (it can track a person, animals or vehicles) and combines the view of both lenses to have a real time zoom. It has both digital tracking and physical pan and tilt tracking from the camera.
I'll be reviewing 2 models the Trackmix WIFI version and also the PoE IP NVR version.
We will check out its features, do a quick unboxing, set it up, install and check out its video and audio quality and do our usual tests plus test out its motion tracking and see if this Reolink Trackmix will be a good option for your home security camera needs.

I'm testing the TrackMix currently, you should have tested it in your front yard with the street. It gets distracted constantly by my neighbors vehicle parked in the same spot for 24hr. It will over rotate and stare at the wall, it flips to IR mode, you have to have a monitor point set and auto return set to keep it from wondering. Sometimes it will over rotate and see a reflection in my bay window, and try to track motion in the window. I doubt it's capturing better footage of a moving object while it's moving, than a fixed camera covering that area. I have more work to do with Synology for Surveillance Station to record both feeds.

The AI needs to learn to ignore parked cars that haven't moved.

It needs a setting to limit how far it pans to prevent it from over rotation, and staring at the wall behind.

I still think having 2x overlapping cameras covering an area is better than a PTZ camera. I would only add this for the deterrent factor, but not every opportunistic criminal will see this, if they already missed my warning sign and 8 other security cameras. TrackMix is a good concept, it needs some updates to make it practical.

It’s like you read my mind. I wanted you to review this one. Looks very good.

[baddonkey]

Great attention to detail in addressing possible concerns. Definitely purchasing this one now

great review. It would be interesting to see the license plate vs distance image quality during night with IR mode.

Just so you know, I have now installed two Reolink outdoor cameras. One is totally solar with WiFi, and the other is PoE. I had previously installed an Amcrest. I am not happy with Amcrest. This is a PoE one that drops video and/or fails to open live video. Having said all of that, I want to say this. I will now only install Reolink. The PoE plugs in the ethernet cable. Please connect to the PoE hub, then to my wireless routing. Boom, up and running. The backyard Reolink A830. IO had to please a WiFi extender to connect with my main WiFi router. Works perfectly. I love the tracking features.

I have been looking for a ptz camera and this one checks all the boxes. I love that pan and tilt are very quiet. I am definitely getting the poe version and hooking it up to my poe switch thus eliminating the power cord all together. The poe seems a bit faster too in tracking and alerting. I love your dog Hugo. ❤❤

Thank you for your reviews. There are so many to choose!
Which reolink camera has all these features:
4K
Wired connection with network video recorder
Motion activated color night vision
weather proof
human/ vehicle/pet detection
two way talk

[Rockaland]

I like to see you mount both in front of your home where more traffic is and see how it works out 2: can you turn off tracking? 3: can you set a schedule for tracking like say start at 12 mid night? 4: is the wifi plug in to outlet only or is there a battery version? Over all i think this is the best thing reolink has made in a while.. plus its could be scary at night if you are being tracked when your up to no good..

Man I wish this available when I bought all the 810’s. This looks awesome for my setup

[jmcfar]

Thank you for all the great reviews. Would you recommend the reolink trackmix or the eufy S340?

[Donkjnr]

HELLO HUGO!! What a beautiful floof you have 👍

Oh, another great review from one of the hardest working YT channels, nice work LH.

[G-flo]

Seems to be the best of both worlds for having both static and PTZ video footage. If only they fix the tracking detection and some ghosting issues at night in a future version. Overall, I would prefer this over the RLC-823A. I might get away with placing this at my front yard without the neighbors complaining, provided I don't have its white LEDs on following them lol.

Would love to see a comparison between the two including the motor noise. Thanks and great work as always sir.

[jasminebatista]

Great review! Looking forward to your comprison between these and the Reolink RLC-811a

[MitchellCoker]

Hope we all get rain soon here in Texas. Your yard sounds crunchy like mine here in Dallas. Nice camera!

[sandropereira]

Fantastic review as usual. I have a dozen Reolink cameras and love them. I do have a random question: Should we periodically reboot them ? I asking this because there's a option under system "Auto reboot". thxs

[chrissampson]

Another great review! Reolink just seems to be getting better and better. I'm a fan of Eufy, but they don't have PTZ cams. I may have to switch a couple for this Reolink model.

[OHYEAAHH]

Great review as always. I pre ordered mine a week or two ago and your review has got me hyped. Can't wait.

[moniquemonicat]

Thanks, I might have bought this instead of the dual cam floodlight wifi, if it had floodlight, but maybe I'll pick up a few and get the floodlight separately. GREAT CAMERA. i really miss having pan n tilt in the dual cam.
