Quick verdict
The TrackMix PoE is a clever dual-lens camera that solves a real problem: you get the wide view and a zoomed tracking view simultaneously. It's fully local via RTSP, works great with Frigate, and the PoE connection keeps it reliable. One of Reolink's most innovative cameras.
Standout: Dual-lens camera that shows a wide-angle overview and auto-tracked close-up at the same time.
