@tw98 I personally don't see the benefit of TrackMix Channel-1 (Wide angle view). TrackMix Channel-2 with the "Auto Track" and autonomous "Optical Zoom" on AI targets, should be the primary channel, or at least make it configurable. It would be nice to disable one or the other. Since ReoLink already has the programming autonomous operations, I don't understand why they don't implement autonomous "Optical Zoom" with "Auto Track" on all their cameras having these features. Adding to that, cameras supporting "Patrol Mode" seem to ignore "Auto Track", and run a predefined patrol-playbook/list, missing AI tracking opportunities. I don't understand why Patrol-mode doesn't hand off to "Auto Track"; w/optical zoom" when an AI target is in the FOV, then resumes patrolling after Auto-Track can no longer track the AI object. For the OSD customization, that too would be a cool option.

I would like to see ReoLink integrate "Auto Track" with "Patrol Mode" on the RL-823-series. Currently "Patrol Mode" ignores possible "Auto Track" AI objects and runs a preset playbook as to how long to stay on each preset before moving onto the next preset. Rather I would like to see "Patrol Mode", allow "Auto Track" to take over on AI targeted objects, then when "Auto Track" expires, returns control to "Patrol Mode", patrolling the next preset looking for other possible AI objects. The other thing I would like to see during "Auto Track" is leveraging the optical zoom; zooming in on the tracked target, until "Auto Track" can no longer track, and return to either its monitor preset, or relinquish control back to "Patrol". I believe the integration suggestions would make the ReoLink RLC-823 series an excellent all-around-choice on capturing targets in the autonomous surveillance, and thus releasing the user from manual monitoring and capture operations.

I think a black camera chassis should be available for all models, especially if your are trying to keep the camera inconspicuous, and mostly out of direct sunlight. Black seems to blend in well with dark colors. Here is a Proof-Of-Concept of a Track-Mix camera with a black painted chassis. Added bird deterrent spikes to the top due to flat surfaces. Camera is out of the veil of direct sunlight. The black hides the obvious attraction to the camera, unlike the "White", which advertises its presence.
