The Reolink TrackMix PoE with dual lens in detail
Scope of delivery and first impressions
The Reolink TrackMix PoE comes in robust packaging and includes the camera itself as well as all the necessary mounting accessories. The camera is quite large and weighs about 1-2 kg, which requires stable mounting.
It can be mounted both on the wall and on the ceiling. In addition to the camera, a single network cable, a waterproof cable connection and detailed operating instructions are included in the scope of delivery.
Simple installation thanks to PoE
A special highlight of the Reolink TrackMix PoE is the support of Power over Ethernet (PoE). This means that the camera is powered via the network cable, which means that no separate power cable is required.
This makes installation much easier, especially outdoors.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that makes it possible to transmit both data and electrical energy via a single Ethernet cable. This technology is particularly useful for the installation of devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP telephones, as it eliminates the need for a separate power cable and thus considerably simplifies the installation.
1. mode of operation: PoE uses standard Ethernet cables (Cat 5e, Cat 6 and higher) to transmit electrical energy and data simultaneously. This is achieved by using PoE-capable switches or special PoE injectors that feed the power into the Ethernet cable.
2. components:
- PoE switch: A network switch that supports PoE can supply data and power via the same cable.
- PoE injector: A separate device that is connected between the non-PoE switch and the PoE-capable device to inject the power into the Ethernet cable.
- PoE splitter: A device that is connected to the end of the Ethernet cable and separates the power from the data traffic to supply non-PoE-capable devices with power.
Dual lens – wide angle and zoom
The camera has two lenses: one for the wide-angle view and one for the zoom. This makes it possible to capture both wide scenes and detailed close-ups.
Both lenses can be controlled individually via the settings in the client or in the Reolink app. Switching between wide-angle and zoom view is seamless.
Special functions of the TrackMix PoE
2-way audio and tracking function
The camera is equipped with a microphone and a loudspeaker, which enables 2-way communication. The tracking function is particularly noteworthy. The camera can automatically follow objects that it recognizes and pan and tilt in the process.
This function can be activated via the settings in the client or in the app and offers various modes, such as digital tracking or pan/tilt tracking.
Detailed setting options
Numerous setting options are available in the Reolink TrackMix PoE menu. This allows the bit rate to be increased, motion detection to be adjusted and the tracking function to be configured.
The option to define preset points and have the camera automatically return to these points is particularly useful.
Test shots and practical experience
Day and night shots
The Reolink TrackMix PoE impresses with both day and night shots. The image quality is excellent thanks to the 4K resolution and enables clear shots to be taken even in poor lighting conditions. The night vision function works reliably and offers a good range of vision. Whether during the day or in the dark, the camera always delivers razor-sharp images, ensuring reliable surveillance around the clock.
PTZ tracking in the test
In my tests, the camera’s tracking function worked perfectly. People and animals were reliably recognized and tracked. The camera follows the objects smoothly and does not lose sight of them even during fast movements.
The three different tracking modes, which I tested extensively, are particularly impressive:
- Digital tracking: In this mode, the camera uses digital magnification to keep an object in view. This mode is particularly helpful if only a small amount of movement is to be captured in the image.
- Pan/tilt tracking: The camera physically pans and tilts to keep the object in the frame. This function is ideal for tracking larger movements and objects.
- Combined tracking: This mode combines digital tracking with pan/tilt movements within the movement zone. This allows the camera to first digitally enlarge the object and then physically follow it in order to always keep it in focus.
These flexible tracking options ensure that the camera guarantees the best possible tracking in every situation.
Operation via app
The Reolink app makes it easy to control the camera. The ability to see both lens views simultaneously on the screen and to operate the camera via PTZ control (pan/tilt/zoom) is particularly practical. The app works reliably both in the home WLAN and on the move.
In my blog entry Setting up the Reolink camera optimally, I described in detail how to set up my Reolink camera on the network video recorder (NVR), the client on the PC and in the app.
Even if some functions are different or additional, the basic function is always the same. This way you can be sure that you are making the best use of the camera and utilizing all available features.

Reolink TrackMix PoE – Functions in detail
2-way audio and communication
One of the outstanding features of the Reolink TrackMix PoE is the 2-way audio communication. This function allows me to communicate in real time via the camera’s built-in microphone and speaker.
Whether to warn uninvited guests or simply to talk to someone in front of the camera, the 2-way audio function offers a wide range of applications.
Technically speaking, the camera has a built-in microphone and loudspeaker. In my tests, however, the sound was a little tinny and bright, and the volume was too low.
The microphone picked up distant noises, such as my budgies, audibly, but my speech was very quiet when I was standing right in front of it.
Main advantages of the 2-way audio function:
- Real-time communication via microphone and loudspeaker
- Clear and distinct audio quality
- Versatile applications for security and communication
Powerful PTZ camera
The Reolink TrackMix PoE offers an impressive PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) function which, combined with automatic tracking and intelligent detection, provides an unbeatable surveillance experience.
The camera can move in all directions and automatically track objects that it recognizes. This function is particularly useful for closely monitoring movements on the property and detecting potential security risks at an early stage.
The camera offers three different tracking modes:
- Digital tracking: The camera uses digital magnification to keep an object in view. This is ideal for tracking small or slow-moving objects.
- Pan/tilt tracking: In this mode, the camera physically pans and tilts to keep the object in the frame. Perfect for larger movements and fast-moving objects.
- Combined tracking: This function combines digital tracking with physical movement so that the camera first zooms in on the object digitally and then follows it physically to keep it in focus at all times. I use combined tracking because, in my opinion, it delivers the best results and the tracked objects are followed safely and reliably.
Important aspects of the PTZ tracking function:
- Automatic tracking of people and animals
- 360-degree swivel and tilt movements
- Seamless change between wide-angle and zoom view
Simple integration into the network
The Reolink TrackMix PoE was easy to integrate into my existing network. Thanks to PoE support, it only required one network cable for the power supply and data transmission.
This significantly reduced the installation effort and made setup simple and straightforward, even for less technically experienced users. However, there is also a WLAN version, the TrackMix WiFi, which only requires a power source at the installation site.
Additional functions and settings
Motion detection and alarm functions
The Reolink TrackMix PoE offers extensive settings for motion detection and alarm function. I was able to adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection and define specific areas where motion should be detected.
In intelligent mode, the camera can distinguish between different objects (human, animal, car, other). Recording and subsequent playback can be individually programmed for the various objects using a filter.
In the high resolution, it is also possible to automatically mark the detected or alarm-triggering object with a frame. In this way, I could easily see which object had triggered the alarm.
Non-recognition zone
This function allows me to exclude certain areas in the camera’s field of view so that movements in these zones do not trigger alarms. This is particularly useful for avoiding false alarms caused by moving trees or passing cars.
Privacy mask
With the privacy mask, I can cover certain areas in the camera’s field of view so that these areas are not recorded. This function is ideal for protecting the privacy of neighbors or covering areas that should not be monitored.
In Germany, the use of a privacy mask is necessary in order to comply with the legal requirements of data protection and personal rights. It is important that private areas and third-party properties are not monitored in order to avoid legal consequences.
The difference to the non-detection zone is that with the privacy mask, certain areas are completely excluded from the recording, while the non-detection zone only ensures that movements in these areas do not trigger alarms.
Both functions worked perfectly in my tests.
Main functions of motion detection:
- Customizable sensitivity and detection ranges
- Real-time notifications when motion is detected
- Integration with other security systems such as Home Assistant or Google Nest is possible
- Creation of non-detection zones and privacy masks
Storage options and backup solutions
The Reolink TrackMix PoE offers flexible storage options for recording 4K video. I can either save the recordings on a microSD card directly in the camera or save them on a network video recorder (NVR).
An NVR, such as the Reolink RLN36 I use, offers extensive advantages: It stores video recordings centrally and makes it easy to manage and archive large amounts of video data.
An NVR (Network Video Recorder) enables the central storage and management of video recordings. In addition to the SD card in each camera, I use a Reolink RLN36 for video recording.
This provides me with a double backup system so that my recordings are saved even if one system fails. You can find more details on installing an NVR in my blog article“Installing the Reolink RLN36 NVR | Installing the hard disk and setting up the camera“.
Options for saving recordings:
- Storage on microSD card in the camera
