ReoLink TrackMix Wifi | test / review

Over the past few years, I have installed a few CCTV systems. ReoLink continues to be my favourite for setup ease.

This new tracking camera could replace a multicamera setup in some situations.

I've thought of getting a PTZ camera purely just for the novelty of having a PTZ camera, living on a terraced street I think the locals would get a bit suspicious of such a camera, so for now I'm just sticking with fixed-position chinese specials, though not getting on well with the WiFi one I have on my uncle's house next door despite using external antennas hooked up to the router, I put that down to crap wifi modules in the camera though... :P

You don't need to plug it into the router first anymore. I've literally just set one up today and all I needed to do was log into the Reolink app and scan the QR code on the top. Select WiFi and then once I tell it which wifi to connect to it was all connected. So easy.

Be good to see how it performs at night, image quality and tracking

I liked the suggestion to use a snap shot of the home position to help it find the guard point better.

It should be 8mp on both lenses, I really think they messed up on that one.

You could use a passive POE injector / splitter so you only ever have to use a single ethernet cable. The last one I bought was about £3.

I wonder how it will do below freezing temperatures... 🤔

Here. in America, I use the PoE Reolink. I had an Amcrest but dumped it after having multiple videos fail to load. Why did I not choose Reolink first? Good question, one would ask. I was stupid!

It's shaking becouse you don't put all screws or why ?🙂

[TheSprinterVan]

So glad you mentioned

Number one you have to initialize the camera out the router

Number two the zoom in lens is not 4K

That last one was kind of a deal-breaker

That doesn't make sense, cuz I zoom in because I need detail like license plate Etc

Excellent review

It might be different in the UK but most people breaking into your house aren’t wearing bright a bright orange jacket & trousers

Cheers dave very useful mate, as you know the info in box is only to set up

[SergioBlackDolphin]

Thank you for the review.
I wonder how it works during the night and how detailed in can be during the night at distance.

[TheJoker-kg]

How do get it to Auto track? Im having problems with that.

[Sola_Scriptura_.]

The Eufy E340 and S340 offer many advantages. Both these units have a calibration function that adjusts for position. The movement is smooth and consistent.

It is a solid review, and it is nice to know the pros and cons of the product offering.

Good vid. Very interested in this product - do you have a view on min wi-fi performance for the camera to work well? Have you tested the micro SD card as I do not have a PVR

[Asgario]

Sorry where do you place the waterproof lid?

[ivanpimentel]

is the same quality 4k image and video the wifi and the poe track mix?

Does it work on 220 volts electricity, is it written on the power transformer 110/220؟

[ManTimeT.V.]

Great review. Thanks! 2 questions, can the wide angle lense be zoomed in at all on the app?

Also, is this able to power JUST by the 12 volt transformer? Or does it absolutely Need POE as well? I think I heard you say that it only needs to be hooked up to your router for the initial install, and then after it's setup that it runs only on the 12 volt transformer. Is that correct? Thanks again! How do you like that camera so far? Is the quality really good?

[GameKollector]

Have the firmware updates improved anything with this camera that you were worried Like the jerkiness of the PTZ movement?
