Having come from the Arlo world, when our perfectly good cameras were deemed to be at their End Of Life and no longer supported by Arlo, we are VERY happy with our Reolink cameras which are a major improvement!! However, we were surprised that Reolink cameras have no option to be triggered by sound, which we found very useful with the Arlo's. Lacking sound detection is surprising, because our Reolink cameras all have microphones that could be used to detect different sound levels and then perform similar functions as the current motion detection options (e.g., record, push notification, etc.). We found sound detection VERY useful in monitoring our guinea fowl coop area for loud squawks that would indicate predators nearby, in our detached buildings for the beep of smoke detectors, used in the greenhouse for something falling or otherwise amiss, etc. Hoping sound detection triggers can be added in the near future.Thanks!
We have a bunch of outdoor PTZ's and it would be nice to be able to have at least two different Monitor Points for different time of day, in our instance, for daytime and night monitoring. Maybe a Monitor Point Schedule capability for different Monitor Points as I'm sure people have areas that require different attention at various times of the day. Really like the little image of the Monitor Point on the most recent Trackmix firmware. But changing it twice a day on a bunch of cameras is a task I'd like to eliminate on our Trackmix's and RLC-823/523's.Thank you!
I'm new to the forum, just installed a Wifi TrackMix, RLC-523WA, and two Argus 3 Pro's, and really enjoying the results! (We decided on Reolink after Arlo deemed our functioning cameras were at their End Of Life (EOL), turns out it was Arlo's EOL with this family!!)I still need to get a few more cameras that will patrol and track, so that has me currently going with the 823A / 523WA but hoping that the Pet Detection will be added to them soon, even the Pet detection beta version which seems to work great on our TrackMix. We have the 523WA down at our barn and it would be perfect if it had Pet Detection capability to identify unwelcome animal intruders at night when the camera is in patrol mode.Thanks for great camera systems and real customer support!!
@joseph-chircop_497308027822318 Thank you all for the info! I found this thread after hooking up our Wifi TrackMix and discovering that it doesn't have the patrol capability. Hopefully the function can be added to the existing TrackMix models, but in case it can't be added I think I'll cancel my battery TrackMix preorders and check out the current models that have the patrol capability. Thanks again for the support.
