Reolink TrackMax WiFi camera tracks everything in Home Assistant too

[@paulcooper3088]

Thanks so much for this great video. It’s perfectly timed for me. Was about to push the button on a couple more RLC-811A cameras but these will be much better for the locations I need them in.

Great to hear! Thanks for the comment!!!

This is a super awesome camera, my favourite so far!

[@BeardedTinker]

Mine too! Really great camera.

Interesting idea, I think this could work very well, allowing you to maintain a wide angle view even when tracking and zoomed in on some movement. Does each lens work like a separate camera, meaning you can have high quality / lower quality stream from each, or is the zoom treated as the high quality camera stream and the wide angle the lower quality?

[@BeardedTinker]

Each one is separate camera. And both of them have separate low/high quality streams, so you can use both if you need (fluent is lower quality and clean is higher quality).

I really like my PoE version. I have it moving to look at a door if the door sensor shows it opening. Also if one camera detects a person then the other cameras with visible light LEDs turn on as well as a door light.

how you create that card in ha? im not able to stream real time;(

These seem good for the price point. I am still a little disappointed that Reolink do not give us the option to change encoding options ( ie, having all streams at H265) and the night vision is still a bit disappointing, but I guess in bright light, for the price point, these are decent cameras.

[@BeardedTinker]

Yeah, but for me it's also OK since Synology has changed a lot recently in terms of what encoding types are supported. I think they've pulled out the support for H.265 and only have 264 out of box. In terms of night - hmm, also depends on the camera type, but height and distance to object that's been recorded. For some models it's a bit better, for others worse.

The camera is not that expensive for what it promises to be!

[@BeardedTinker]

Yes, it's not the cheapest of course, but it does pack a lot of functionality.

[@DustinWatts]

@@BeardedTinker Indeed!

Good video. I was looking at TrackMax and Reolink 4K UHD Dual-Lens Security Camera 16MP . I decided for dual lens i was thinking that if the camera is tracking one person another person can snick in without being seen. probably this scenario is silly bat who knows.

[@BeardedTinker]

That's correct! That's always the possibility. That's why I always cross cameras and make sure that each camera is also in filed of view of another camera - no sneaking behind!
