Surprisingly good.
Using this camera to keep an eye on a remote piece of property located a few hours away. The motion tracking is exceptionally good (way better than I expected), the image is clear, and the video stable. I’m using a t-mobile prepaid SIM and at $10 for their 2gb plan, it’s pretty affordable per camera. Set up was no muss no fuss – literally just popped a SIM and SD card in it, used the app to add it, and it was up and running. It hasn’t fallen below 90% charge yet, even at night, and the build quality itself is pretty stout with the camera having a metal body. I do wish the mount for the camera itself wasn’t plastic, but I’ve got it secured to a tree with some decking screws, so I don’t anticipate anything being able to get to it.
It’s so good thus far, that I just ordered another one. I’ll come back and update this review if anything changes for better or worse.
*update – March 10, 2024*
Added a second camera as previously noted, and they’re both still working flawlessly. They’ve made it through the overcast West Virginia winter, and the battery life never fell below 80%. Snow, rain, wind, ice, and everything else winter could throw at them didn’t seem to matter. There was one instance where ice had formed over the camera lens, but live viewing the camera and activating the built in LED light seemed to warm it up enough to melt the ice off within a matter of minutes. Overall, still pretty impressed. Like before, will update if anything else notable occurs, but for the time being they’re still going strong.

Tracking is nice
I love Reolink products, I find their cameras to be superior than other brands and the app works really nice. My favorite part about these cameras are the tracking. Also, itâs equipped with a really nice feature. that you can choose if you want the camera to track people, pets, cars, and you can set up different alerts tailored to this function. When my phone gets an alert, it tells me what the motion is and I can open it up and itâs great to see it tracking right along with whatever it is. Itâs really easy to install and get them up and running. The zoom feature is great for reading license, place or seeing a close-up of a face.

Camera was extremely slow and laggy
The camera might have been defetive or just the way it works? One postive thing is, I was able to get a hold of a human tech support unlike other reviews have stated. The bad thing is that the tech agent was of absolutely no Help unless you were unsure how to reboot the camera.. I couldn’t get a dierect answer on what the basic speed i should expect is. I would tell him what the download kbps is and he couldn’t tell me if that is low, normal or high. No actuall tech help whatsoever. I do know for reference if you move the camera with the app, you can see camera move with in a second or two but image would take about 20 tp 50 seconds to change. Don’t even get me started on trying to watch a live video and or download one. The image looked pretty good and camera seems very high quality. I have two Ebitcam 4g and 1 Anran 4g camera. The 100.00 Ebitcam cameras are pretty fast and the 60.00 anran i thought was a little slow, but not the case with my new perspective. The sad thing is it might just be defictive but with a tech guy the knows next to nothing about the camera i will never know.

Excellent warranty service by Reolink
I purchased this camera in June, 2023 for remote monitoring. The camera experienced a malfunction and failed to turn on. I contacted Reolink and they replaced the unit after walking me through a check list to see if the camera could be rebooted. Failing that, they replaced the camera. Thanks Reolink.

Reolink support is TERRIBLE but I like their cameras. Trying to get past the worthless Reolink âHELPâ BOT that doesnât work nor understand your problem is MISSION IMPOSSIBLE as is getting a real human to help you.
UPDATE 20 months after purchase and putting into service. The original review is below the dotted line.
One of my Reolink Trackmix cameras stated going âout of serviceâ about 6 months after I purchased it. The âfixâ required climbing a very tall ladder to pull it off of a pole I mounted it on. I brought it inside my shop to determine what the problem was, and the âfixâ was simple. The attach plug that goes into the TrackMix is extraordinarily tight, VERY TIGHT and is hard to plug into the port on the camera if you are attaching it to a tall pole using an extension ladder at its highest setting. It requires a tremendous amount of pressure to properly insert the plug end from the solar panel into the power port on the TrackMix⦠but once I did, the camera has been âfaithful.â
â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦,â¦..
I bought this in August 2023 and Iâm nearly at 6 months into having this particular Reolink camera in service.
I own 13 various Reolink cameras that are placed around my ranch here in Texas. As an experienced user, the process of getting this Reolink into service was straightforward. This camera operates very good on a SIM card from T Mobile. My other Reolinks use AT&T and Mint Mobile SIM cards but Iâm dumping AT&T and switching all cameras to T Mobile.
The ability of this camera to follow a subject is very impressive. It has tracked vehicles on my ranch from 200 feet (and more) away. It also is able to track wildlife the size of cats down to birds.
In my opinion (and donât let this sway you away from this camera) the dual lens capability is overkill for my needs. In my other Reolink POE cameras, if I want to see the object that was recorded (to the Cloud) or even live shots, all I have to do is a âsqueeze zoomâ on my iPhone to âzoom inâ on the subject. That being said, the dual lens feature has tremendous potential for purposes of security, recording the wider shot of a crook, trespasser or vandal because the two separate scenes of the same event can provide very good evidence for law enforcement or lawsuits. I am a former licensed private investigator here in Texas and have presented such video evidence in courtrooms, thus my appreciation for this cameras interesting two lens feature.
The only reason I did not give this camera a 5 star review (and I could be wrong in my assumption) is that it uses up more data through your cellular provider by needing twice as much data to to provide the âtwin lensâ captures of an event. Additionally, the camera and solar panel are heavier than my âregularâ Reolink cameras, making it a tad harder for this old, decrepit and clumsy senior citizen to install while doing so on a VERY TALL POLE using an extension ladder. This camera is very, VERY heavy. But I really, REALLY like this TrackMix. I now own 4 and they are working great using T-Mobile SIM cards.

Bon produit mais très déçu de la capacité à se connecter au réseau cellulaire.
Jâai remplacé une de mes caméras de chasse LTE par ma nouvelle Reolink trackmix à mon camp et il est impossible de me connecter alors que mon cellulaire a 2 barres à côté de la caméra. Je vais voir si je peux upgrader les antennes de la caméra pour améliorer le résultat.

Save your money and buy a different brand. $350 wireless camera that wont charge with its solar panel. The green light comes on with the cord indicating a fully charged battery and working solar panel but the camera is going dead. The app on my phone says the battery is fully charged but it is steady going dead and the camera quits. It happened during summer and winter. When the vendor was asked their reply was the camera wont charge in summer or winter. It looks like a software problem. I asked for a refund but no reply on a full refund. The pictures it take does not focus on Licence Plates or faces. It did hook up to the network with a Sasktel card.

This security camera had been giving me lots of trouble after one month of purchase. Now itâs totally useless and doesnât not work at all. Do not buy if youâre looking for long term security of your valuables. Itâs not Canadian weather worthy as well. Currently Iâm speaking to the current sellers and to no avail are they of any help.
