Hello, here is my review of the Reolink TrackMix PoE camera:



Apparence :



Its size makes the camera rather discreet compared to other models.





The fixing of the camera is however made of plastic whereas on the RLC-823A it was made of aluminum, which is less qualitative.



Two-way audio:

Its two-way audio allows you to listen and speak to anyone in range of the camera, however there may be a small lag if you are outside your home network.

Alarm :

The camera has an alarm that activates automatically upon detection or you can activate it manually if you wish. This is not too strong but still allows to warn the close neighborhood especially at night.

Infrared Night Vision:

The TrackMix has two infrared LEDs that allow it to see up to more or less 15m at night.

Spotlights :

The camera has two spotlights which allows it a color night vision at more or less 15m.



Reolink App (Android):

You have the choice to see the objectives separately or to see them at the same time.









Alert, FTP, Email:

You can configure the camera to send you a notification from the application and/or by email. You can also configure FTP to save videos to a remote server.

The dual objectives:

The strong point of the TrackMix is its two lenses, one lens for the wide angle and a second for the zoom. The double lens is a big plus because it allows you to have an overview in addition to a zoomed view of what the camera has detected.



 


AI detection:

The camera allows, thanks to its AI, to detect any vehicles, people or animals that enter its field of vision and to alert the owner as well as to record the detection sequence.




Tracking method:

You can configure camera tracking according to your preference.



Digital Traking: The camera remains fixed, only the automatic zoom works
Digital Traking First: The camera will track and zoom to the target at the same time
PanTilt Tracking First: The camera zooms and tracks the target automatically

Conclusion :

The TrackMix shows its full potential with silent automatic tracking and zooming which allows true tracking of the target over a very large area. However, the camera will be limited at night to a distance of more or less 15m.

For me the TrackMix is one of the best cameras from Reolink in terms of tracking and automatic zoom on the market, and I can only recommend it to you.

Hello Fiona, I hope you are doing well.

The new forum interface is really pretty

It's so tiring to receive push notifications for the same detection simply because the camera monitors if it detects a vehicle or a person.

It would be easier to send a single push notification when detecting multiple categories (people, vehicles) occurring in a close interval of each other.

Because currently my camera detects vehicles and people in my driveway. When a car arrives I get a push notification, and when the person gets out of their car, I get another push notification telling me there is a person... So my phone rings twice in 20 seconds for the same thing and in the end it is tiring.

Let us choose to receive only one push notification for the same detection period that we have defined (30,60,120 seconds) to avoid push notification spam.

@alvaro2 Yes, a camera embedded in our cars would be a good idea, to have proof in the event of an accident or if a person touches our vehicle while it is parked in a parking lot.

And the camera does not return to its point of guard....

@reolink-fiona I have the Reolink rlc-823a camera and I have the interval delay option to enable. However, here is an example of the problem I am having:

In the Reolink app, I set the push notification delay to 120 seconds.

It is 9:00 am, a vehicle arrives in my driveway and a person gets out of the vehicle. at 9:00 am and 5 seconds I receive a notification that a car has been detected, then at 9:02 am I receive a new notification to tell me that a person has been detected at 9:00 am...

So it's completely ridiculous to receive two notifications for the same detection timecode.

It would be easier to have only one push notification for the same detection timecode and put a delay of your choice during the moment when the camera should not send a notification again. And after this time, if there is a new detection, then the camera sends a new push notification.

Because the camera currently sends a notification separately for each category for the same timecode, so if there is a car coming and a person gets off with an animal, then I receive 3 notifications for the same detection. 1 instant notification for the car, 2 minutes later for the detected person and 2 minutes later for the animal which has also been detected.

It's really tiring in the end, instead of making a single notification that encompasses all three categories (animals, people, vehicles)

@jedi2020_32727772450952 It's not the same price between a Dashcam and a Tesla 

Thanks for this update, I hope the camera will be more efficient on detection with this new firmware

Hello, yes it is possible. And I find the TrackMix much better than the RLC-823A

Hello Fiona, I hope you are doing well.

I upgraded to the beta version by resetting all settings and I have no tracking problems and the night mode works. However the camera still has trouble tracking a person who passes under the camera even slowly.

Hello, I uploaded a video of my dog's detection with only night vision, and no sorry i don't know what he calls hybrid zoom.

Hello, since the firmware update v3.1.0.956_22041511 the detection of the camera has evolved and I had to adapt the detection settings. Everything is working perfectly now and the camera manages to detect a human far enough in my driveway without taking any vehicles or pedestrians on the road, a joy.

However, the camera still has trouble recognizing at times a vehicle that is reversing into my driveway, I think the AI should be worked on to more easily recognize a vehicle that is reversing.

Here is the current camera setup:
