First off, this camera is BIG. Seriously, you don't know how big it really is until you pull it out of the box. Imagine a basketball - that's the minimum space you'll need to mount this thing with its mounting bracket, and how big it's going to look once mounted. And that's being conservative.

The optics are great; actually the best of any of the 10+ Reolink cameras I have. The image on a good network in "High" quality is super sharp and colors are appropriately saturated. This comes at a price though. Depending on your use case, the price could end up being prohibitive.
* The camera "hunts" for focus constantly. Once it zeroes in, most everything in frame is sharp, but it can take a LONG time for the unit to stop moving lenses to get there. Sometimes it seems crook could move out of view before focus occurs. With as clear a picture as this thing is capable of, that's a shame.
* If you move the camera with the PTZ controls, you start the "hunting" process over while it does its 'vision test at the eye doctor's' back and forth dance with the focus. Same with zooming in/out.
* Reolink falsely advertises this camera to have "Color Night Vision." It does not. It's standard monochrome-ish with IR assist. When set to "Color" mode, the image has some faint color, I'll give it that but it is far from justifying calling it "color night vision." And it is CERTAINLY NOT the ColorX night vision on the Argus 4 Pro (which is downright spooky good.) Its night vision is average, I'd say. The IR spot is good enough to give a practical 40-ish foot clear view.
* It is LOUD. If you are physically near the camera (within 20') when any part of it moves, you will hear it. And if you're monitoring the video and moving the lens around (PTZ), you will hear nothing but stepper motors whining and moving. It's so loud that it's disturbing, and there is NO way you will hear anything that is happening in the frame/picture while any motor (focus and zoom included) are moving. Of course the recordings suffer this malady.
* You can set many programmed presets to move the camera to desired areas.
* The presets have an edit feature (change camera's aiming point associated with the preset) but it literally does not work at all. No change is ever retained,, so if you need to move the position of a preset, you will have to delete it and create a new one - which moves it to the bottom of the list of presets, which you cannot rearrange. So presets are easy; changing them is not.
(I've noticed this on ALL my Reolink PT/PTZ cameras, which is frustrating and disappointing. Don't put the feature in the system until it works... just sayin'.)
* Microphones on Reolink cameras are usually pretty bad TBH. This camera seems to have a decent mic on it (you can hear a TV down a hallway in the video attached.) It does also seem to be easily overwhelmed by wind, distorting to pure noise on occasion. Baffling for a camera clearly designed to be outside.
* The mount only allows 2 positions (mounting from a wall, or a ceiling) but that's really all you need, and changing the mount is super easy.
* Aside from being HUGE, this camera does present nicely and looks to be of good build quality. It's also intimidating (it really does announce its presence) - which could be a good detriment to n'er-do-wells alone.
* It comes with a security strap - that mounts between the base mount and the camera housing itself. Good to have on a camera this heavy.
* It makes the impression that it's truly industrial grade by aesthetics and "feel in the hand."
* Because it's POE, it's always connected to software (like the Reolink App), so it is more responsive than its WiFi connected cousins, albeit there is still a baffling delay - see video. I'm tapping but it's pickup time to my requests is inconsistent and often sluggish. On an enterprise level Gb Ethernet network with low traffic, I would expect close to immediate response to commands. Nope...
* Tracking, like all Reolink cameras is sluggish to get started. While this camera, being POE is quicker, there is still a lag between the time it detects motion and when it starts recording. Often, so sluggish that by the time it starts recording, what tirggered it is completely out of frame, rendering the recording useless. The motion tracking feature is jerky and sometimes inconsistent - missing its target by under/over-shooting and not correcting, or simply not moving at all. For recordings, it would be great if they did like Ubiquiti/UniFi and had an adjustable "pre-roll buffer" that actually printed the X number of seconds selected prior to the trigger occurrence, so that nothing is missed in the recording. This can be something of a show stopper when using the cameras for their intended purpose - security.
* It doesn't always track the moving object fully through its motion path either. Sometimes it just stops mid-tracking and it's done. When it again detects motion, it moves/tracks, so I don't know what's "distracting" it on odd occasion.
* They let you adjust object min/max size for motion sense triggering is quite nice.
* That said, I sometimes can't tell if adjustments of the object size in the sensitivity settings makes a difference.

Overall, it's a good camera; it just has some pretty serious quirks and unpredictability. I was debating sending it back all the way up until the 30th day of ownership, but decided to keep it due to its sharp/clear picture (an ACTUAL 4K camera! - not claiming 4K that's oddly distributed and often a low-MP) and significant 5x optical zoom. I'll just end up relegating it to an out of sight area that can benefit from a PTZ but it won't be an eye sore when people come over to visit.
No matter where it goes, once it's locked in on focus, it does deliver a superb image.

Transparency on the video I've uploaded:
Video was shot while camera is on temp mobile mount I use for testing cameras. It had been moved inside at recording time. This means there's a plate of glass between it and outside. This can complicate focusing, no doubt. In this case, it seemed to have minimal effect, thankfully. I can assure you the camera "hunts" for focus like this and worse when outside. There's better than average performance in this video.

It's a really good camera but auto-focus always under/overshoots before returning to the correct focus. For this reason each time the zoom level is adjusted it takes more than 6 seconds to focus. This time should be cut under half or less. Also sometimes it does not really need to re-focus after zoom adjustment, but it does that and blurs out the image anyways.

I would begin by stating that I absolutely love the build quality and potential of this particular camera - I mean seriously, huge props to Reolink for their design choices A+

That being said, here is a short and sweet pro & con list of the camera, as well as some observations that I am hoping, may prove helpful to Reolink and the future of this camera;

PROS:
Outstanding build quality
Very smooth articulation, bearings
Excellent image quality/optical zoom
Above average night vision
Excellent spotlight performance
Virtually silent turret operation
Flexible mounting options

CONS:
No directional control in per-programming
No tracking in patrol mode
No front-end UI position presets - requiring menu + submenu clicks
No zoom memory with presets
No focus memory with preset
Focus settings(values) change between night and day modes

Beyond that, I did find a few software bugs with this camera, requiring that I close the software and restart it again, namely with the patrol mode, in-that all of the interface functions appeared to have stopped working.

That said, I really like this camera, in-that it is very well made, in-that it has immense potential, and could easily become the new 811a of turret cams on the market - I truly believe this camera could be that good, and if the cons could be addressed - such as;

Position presets with zoom and focus memory - greatly improving preset performance /speed etc

Tracking in Patrol mode - an absolute must for a camera of this type - tracking being a most important aspect of security, with patrolling to expand the serviceable field of view

Directional control - a must for sofit corner installs - where turrets cameras are most valuable - direction control is needed in both patrol mode and preset(homing etc), to avoid the camera panning the building instead of the serviceable area

... so many other great ideas that spring to mind when using this wonderful camera, I truly hope Reolink follows through in making this the best turret camera on the market!

PS, I may revise this review at a later date, and as I spend more time with the camera

The camera and mount are made of plastic. The screw pattern of the mount does not match other cameras so expect to drill new holes if you are replacing an old camera. It does use the same wall adapter that the RLC511 uses. You need the app to turn on the auto tracking feature it's not available in the Windows client yet.
The camera has an annoying habit of not returning to it's starting point after an event. Many times it get confused and faces the wall. . . not very useful to watch the wall. Support has hinted that that issue will be addressed in near future firmware.
Several times it has lost video signal and needed to be rebooted, even though the RLC-511W that it replaced worked fine in the same spot. I am torn between turning off the light feature and leaving it on. It does illuminate the area a bit better, but the camera takes a couple of seconds to adjust to the change in lighting and it ends up with video that is not very good until it adjusts and seconds count on a video.
I have not had the fogging problem others have had, but I mounted it under an eave so it does not get direct rain.
I do like the price and auto tracking but Reolink really needs to fix the 'return to zero' after an event for me to buy another one. I like that it works with my NVR (RLN16-410). It would also be good if it had more than 5MP. I'm giving it 2 stars because of the return to zero issue.

You can't see both TrackMix images on your iPhone App, if your camera is connected through your Reolink NVR. Network traffic is best managed when you connect your cameras to the NVR and you access the NVR to view your feeds. Sadly when you do this, and you want to view through the app, you can only see one feed at a time and not the TrackMix feed. I've been waiting almost a year for this to be addressed but sadly they haven't. There is a work around if you are in this boat. Rather than plugging your camera(s) into the NVR then the NVR into your home router, plug your cameras and the NRV into your router. This will increase traffic on your router but you will now have two options on your app. Use the direct link to the camera in the app to view TrackMix. Use the NVR link in the app to watch recordings. Other than this, the camera and NVR are a good value.

The E1 Outdoor Pro is a great security camera. I purchased 2 of them and currently have the TrackMix WiFi as well. The 4K video quality is impressive! Daytime quality is crystal clear! Whereas nighttime quality does a fair job, and the built-in spotlight is extremely bright and can light up a large distance! Whenever I use the pan/tilt feature to turn the cameras and want to go back using the “Return to Monitor Point”, I’ve noticed that the cameras do not return to the exact monitor point position. Either they will return slightly more to the left/right or up/down from the preset monitor point, but this only occurs just a few times. I used the calibration feature to see if that would help, and it did. But I will still observe how the cameras return to the preset monitor point after panning/titling. While I’ve only had the cameras to track persons only so far, it does a good job. From my understanding of the auto-tracking feature, it only auto-tracks objects horizontally, not vertically. I have both of these cameras installed facing towards the backyard of my home, and I have dogs that walk around back there. I have a large-sized dog in particular back there, and the camera detects that dog or the dogs’ shadow as a “person” as they walk around and I am unsure how to fix this in the settings. Additionally, one thing that I am having to constantly change daily in the camera settings is having to turn up the display brightness when it comes to nighttime. This is because at night, the left and right sides of the display from the cameras are too dark and I have to turn up the brightness to see more clearly. This is not really an issue for me, but it would be nice to see if there is a way around this. Overall, I still recommend the E1 Outdoor Pro because it offers great features like 4K quality recording, built-in spotlight, supports auto-tracking for person/vehicle/pet, and can Pan/Tilt/Zoom all for an affordable price!

I had the chance to try this new camera, previously I had an RLC-823A and the TrackMix far exceeds the RLC-823A on tracking people, cars and animals. It very rarely loses its target. The automatic zoom works well overall but sometimes the camera stops zooming in on the target and zooms back in again, this will surely be corrected in a future Firmware update that is still in beta. I also invite you to read my more complete review on the community forum. https://community.reolink.com/topic/3737/review-trackmix-poe

Maybe I got a bad camera, but the audio quality is horrendous on this thing. not only does it not mute when using the PTZ (LOUD gear sounds and a really weird echo after using zoom) but the microphone makes everything sound like it's 20 feet under water. It took a year outside before my 2 520a's started sounding this bad. The picture quality is good, It needs a speed setting for the PTZ, Still get a lot of false positives on detection, and the color night mode is just average.

The camera works ok, but has issues. One thing I have a problem with the calibration routine, having it recalibrate when setting patrol points, is a pain. The other day I wanted to look at my yard and the camera was not at the point where I remembered it was. It had moved to another patrol point, by itself. Generally I am just not a happy camper.

I have 10 years experience installing IPCs, worked with many brands and I can say with confidence Reolink is the best all around system you can get for the price point. I love their products so much its what I use for my own home which runs a 32 camera setup currently. I have the access and expertise to run more advanced and expensive systems, but why spend 4x more on a system that still wont give you the all around features that reolink offers? With that being said, lets move onto the review.

Was really wanting to get the Duo 1, but after realizing that I would eventually need all channels in my NVR, the benefit of the 180 degree shot coming out of one camera and being used as one feed was better than the two separate images I originally desired. The merge point on this camera is pretty good, the software allows you to adjust the alignment as needed. This camera has exceeded my expectations in almost all areas, with that being said, there are a few downsides.

1- aiming and positioning this camera is not great. The mount does the job, but I had to mount this camera about 2 ft lower than the rest of my bullet/dome cameras as it was catching IR glare from the other cameras at night, and wanted the IR sensors to shoot out further. If I mount high, I cant get the low view and IR is pointing to the ground, making objects in the distance blacked out completely. The only real solution I can come up with, is to make the body of this camera smaller. I have attached a photo of my camera at night with the flood light about 10ft to the left of it, you can see the glare on that half of the image. Camera is mounted 2ft lower than the flood light and a Track Mix PoE under that light

2- excessive glare. With standard cameras, if you encounter glare from a security or flood light, you can simply reposition it. However, with the dual lenses, its almost impossible to eliminate that glare aside from repositioning the camera or offending light source. End result, at night, half of my view has a glare on it, but I can live with it, camera still does its job.

3 - the adjustment to trigger IR sensors is insufficient, as I find with all other reolink cameras with this option. My neighbor has a 200W floodlight blasting into my backyard to be spiteful, this causes the cameras to think there is a good bit of light and prevents the triggering of the IR lights. with the cameras in direct view of the flood light, even adjusting the slider as far as I can in either direction, will not solve the issue. If anyone else has this issue, the solution is to save that blue tape that comes covering the lens. Cut out a square, place it over the daylight sensor. If one layer does not work, I apply sharpie to the outside of the first layer, and then cover that with another layer of the blue tape. Or basically do any other version of this, the idea is to impede some light going to the daylight sensor. Either way, never had to deal with this with my older camera setups.

Aside from those three issues, camera is excellent. Great quality image, good features and appropriately priced. Can't go wrong with this. I will be buying more of these for sure. Despite the glare, it does not affect image quality significantly nor does it impact its ability to identify a subject. Solution would to be to have he two camera lens heads curved instead of being perfectly flat to deflect incoming glare.

Awesome camera for the price, person/vehicle detection with 3X Zoom. Color night vision doesnt work unless triggered then stay for few minutes, so if your street is extremely dark like mine it wont work well. I really donno why to not give the consumer the option to choose at least “on” at night for certain hours? Also i need an option for “continuous recording” to SD Card instead of increasing the sensitivity to the highest for it to keep recording! The camera is well built, BUT NOT metal like my 511W or 811A! Setting the camera is a breeze, doesnt take few minutes! Thanks for including extension cable, Adapter and mounting belt. The box now looks more professional like Apple boxes! The 2 screws are in very wrong position, very tight, thats a flaw in my book, its just very bad mounting option! The camera is also heavy for those tiny screws provided that when you tight it strong the head of the screw deteriorate from bad quality! I wish it was 360 degree but its not, when you reach the end of rotation, you have to return back! My Alien router is 25 feet away from the camera thats mounted on a tree, its barely catching 1 bar wifi signal! The App is really clean looking, UI is very user friendly, speaker sounds really good beside the loud siren! Image quality is always the best in most of Reolink cameras beside the awesome optical zoom! Definitely i’ll keep buying Reolink products, because simply they are the best in the market especially they are only specialize in cameras so main focus will always be on how to improve their products. Keep it up Reolink and make more awesome “improved” Cameras :)

I now have 7 Reolink Cameras! My latest one is the new E1 Outdoor PoE. Connected to about 40 ft. of cat6 cable. Is very responsive and the 4k is crystal clear. I have two E1 Outdoor 5mp cameras and you can see a big difference in picture quality. Camera has made a delightful addition to my security system. Sometimes you need one more camera to cover a hard to get to area and this one fits to bill. I have (3) E1 Outdoor camera's, (1) RLC-510A, (1) RLC-811A and (2) Trackmix 4K PTZ camera's. All quality cameras and easy to setup. Have been using Reolink, both app and client for viewing but would like to buy Reolink nvr as another option.

Even with the latest Firmware with Noise Reduction, the sound needs improvement. Pretty much needs to be muted for loud noises not to over-power the end users. The 823 16x never had this issue, just this newer model of 823s2.

I have two of the E1 outdoor pro cameras. Both are very reliable and provide great picture and with the addition of Wi-Fi six, the speeds have greatly improved. The biggest issue I have are the difference between the two supposedly identical cameras. One of my E1 pro cameras has the ability to auto track in both horizontal and vertical, however, the other E1 pro camera does not track in the vertical. Even though the reolink tech-support site says neither camera has the ability to track in the vertical motion. Interesting.

I had the E1 Outdoor and was looking at upgrading to the E1 4K Outdoor. I was mildly annoyed by the motor noises of the E1's. Unfortunately or Fortunately I guess at this point the coupon code I was trying to use to buy the 4K Outdoor ended up not working. By the time they got the code fixed all the 4K Outdoors were sold. So I took the chance and upgraded to the TrackMix PoE. WOW! I love this thing. It's mounted above the center of my garage door. The wide angle lens nicely views the two cars parked up close while the zoom lens gets a great view of the car parked out further. The people tracking and zoom are good. A little jerky but I'm hoping this new firmware I just installed may make it better. I'm looking forward to getting some more of these. They add a whole new layer to the security around the house. I have to worry less about blind spots because this will track the person even if they walk into a blind spot after initial lock. So you can set them to have a nice wide perimeter and let the cameras follow the subject in.

Ich habe die Kamera gekauft, um den Eingang meines Grundstückes und den restlichen Hof zu überwachen. Da der Eingangsbereich und das Grundstück in "L-Form" angelegt sind, kommt mir eine Kamera mit verstellbarer X- und Y-Achse sehr gelegen. Dass die Kamera auch noch Bewegungen durch Tiere, Personen und Fahrzeugen erkennen kann, ist ein großer Vorteil. Auch die Tag-/Nachtfunktion lässt sich gut einstellen. Von den LEDs, die sich bei Dunkelheit und erkannter Bewegung einschalten, bin ich begeistert.

Das Setup
Angebaut ist die Kamera an der Veranda, genau dort, wo sich die beiden "Schenkel" des "L" treffen. Bis hier hin reicht das WLAN meines Accesspoints gerade so; genug um eine stabile Verbindung herstellen zu können. Die Aufzeichnung der Videos bei erkannter Bewegung inkl. Benachrichtigung laufen über die Überwachungsfunktion "Surveillance Station" meines NAS zuverlässig.

Soweit, so gut, so zufrieden. Am Anfang habe ich die Kamera über die App am Smartphone eingerichtet. Das Setup geht schnell und intuitiv von der Hand. Gut gemacht Reolink! Ebenfalls in der App kann man schon das Finetuning vornehmen; wann vom Tag- in den Nachtmodus gewechselt werden soll etwa. Oder ob man den akustischen Alarm auslösen lassen möchte, wenn eine Bewegung erkannt wird. Es gibt noch einige Einstellungen mehr, mit der sich die Kamera recht genau auf die eigenen Bedürfnisse anpassen lässt. Einige Einstellungen, wie den grad angesprochenen Treshold vom Tag-/Nachtsichtwechsel ist meiner Meinung nach ein wenig zu versteckt.
Generell ist die App aber sehr übersichtlich und selbsterklärend eingerichtet.

Die PTZ-Funktion funktioniert über die App recht zuverlässig. Über die Software meines NAS leider nicht, was aber baulich begründet sein kann, da ich hier im Haus nur auf W- und DLAN (also Datenaustausch über das Stromnetz) zurückgreifen kann.

Warum jetzt aber der Abzug der Sterne, wenn ich doch soweit zufrieden bin?
Die Ernüchterung folgt jetzt nach ein paar Wochen Benutzung. Seit ca. 2,5 Wochen kalibriert sich die Kamera nicht mehr richtig. Das heißt, sie rotiert nicht mehr bis an den Linksanschlag. Nach Rechts rotiert sie, läuft in die Begrenzung und man hört, wie sich der Motor weiter dreht. Somit kann ich die Kamera nicht mehr zu dem Zweck nutzen, wie ich eigentlich wollte: mein "L-Grundstück" überwachen.
Weiterhin folgt die Kamera einem Objekt und dreht sich im Anschluss, wenn sie das Objekt aus dem Sichtfeld verloren hat, bis in die Begrenzung hinein und verharrt dann dort. Im Klartext: man hat dann im Zweifelsfall stundenlang ein Bild von dem Mauerwerk, an dem die Kamera befestigt ist, obwohl man das Ding so programmiert hat, dass es wieder zurück in den Ursprungszustand fahren soll; mit Blick auf den Eingangsbereich auf der anderen Seite. Wenn ich mir die Rezensionen hier durchlese, dann besteht das Problem schon seit 2 Jahren. Ein Firmware-Update sucht man vergeblich. Das geht so nicht Reolink! Stark gestartet und dann stark im Hauptkaufargument nachgelassen.
Zusätzlich Punktabzug gibts in der Privatsphäre-Einstellung der Kamera.
Es ist möglich, mehrere Bereiche im Bild(!) mit einem schwarzen Kästchen abzudecken, so dass man z.B. das Nachbargrundstück ausblenden kann. Bei einer (fast) 360-Grad-Kamera erwarte ich so viel künstliche Intelligenz, dass der Bereich virtuell verankert wird und sich nicht bei einem Kameraschwenk mit dreht.
Möchte ich im Eingangsbereich die Straße aus- bzw. verblenden und ziehe hier ein Polygon drüber, dann wird dieses Polygon beim Schwenk auf den heimischen Garten mitgenommen, so dass mir dann ein Teil des Bildes vom Garten fehlt. Hier muss man dann mit einer anderen Software (in meinem Falle die vom NAS) nachhelfen (was leider bei meiner Lösung auch nicht funktioniert).

So habe ich nun unterm Strich eine Kamera mit gutem Bild bei Tag und Nacht, einem ausreichend gutem Mikrofon, einem Lautsprecher (den ich jedoch noch nicht benutzt habe) und super hellen LEDs, die mir das Licht im Eingangsbereich ersetzen. In den Hauptfunktionen einer (fast) 360-Grad-Kamera patzt dieses Modell leider.

I wanted to replace an old Dlink similar to this camera but it only output 720p. This camera does everything and more. This is my 6th Reolink device. I purchased it to keep my ducks safe after a fox consumed 1. The camera has been able to capture Mr. Fox allowing me to fox proof my back yard.

The tracking software (humans, animals) is ok. My only complaint about it is that unless you are aware of the tracking feature you must remember to return it to the default location, otherwise it could be positioned to look at nothing. It need to return to the default location set up! The new interface V8.2.6 is much better than Reolink Client V7.2.2.33, however the playback DOES NOT WORK on a PC. The remote control feature is good and the response time varies from device to device. The tablet/phone app is the best to review videos.

The set up for this camera was the best of any of the Reolink products I have purchased. With the new software all you are required to do is plug the camera into the router and it automatically is aware of the camera, enter the logon and password. I haven't tried the camera far from the router. That is one of my criticisms of the Reolink is distance issues with connection to routers.

For the price $ and performance this is a great camera from Reolink. The only issue I have ever had with Reolink is the software interface.

Bought their cameras to be able to watch live stream on my PC remotely. Instructions come with basic junk about port forwarding. Nice if this was 10 years ago. I live stream my Foscams and EZViz from their clouds. Dont see how to livestram Reolinks in their cloud. Dealbreaker for me. If they dont answer, the cameras go back. Anyone know how to get livestreaming from their cloud?
Update 7/27. Reolink answered same day. Was a concise answer. Not possible. I appreciated the brevity and clarity of the answer. No BS. For that alone, I decided to keep both cams. Will use them in places I dont need to live view. Live view is where I need a full screen (web view). Hopefully, they'll see fit some day to get live view working from the cloud login. Great equipment. Find response to PTZ in live view much more robust than eZViz or Foscam. Raising stars to 4 because it really is a good camera and I realize most of today's users have low expectations (5" screens). I just cant do that.

I ve got the e1 outdoor and cannot understand why the argus pro 3 has better features. ( got a argus3 pro too)

I am missing the function "activate spotlight when liveview" and a adjustable time for the spotlight activation.

Would be great to have a feature " activate spotlight when detecting motion between 11pm and 5am, undortunagely there is only a auto activation by darkness feature.

I find the E1 Outdoor to be a great camera. She perfectly satisfies all my requirements.
If not for one nuance.
The smart function of detecting both cars and people is just great. However, I would like the camera to then return to the monitoring point to capture and track the next object. This is where the problems begin. The monitoring point is constantly floating. The camera should look along the street - it looks across.
Sometimes the camera just turns to the wall like an offended child.
Ok, I turn off auto tracking, the problem with the monitoring point is solved, but then the main advantage of E1 Outdoor is lost. I could buy a regular person and vehicle tracking camera.
I see that here many have faced such a problem, I am not alone.
I contacted technical support, they sent me a new version of the firmware, but the problem was not solved, although the function of tracking pets appeared.
Another strange moment. I bought the E1 Outdoor in the fall when the weather was pretty warm. And I practically did not encounter the problem of losing the monitoring point, except that I slightly adjusted the position once a week.
However, when it got colder, this problem rose to its full height. My guess is that the problem is not in the software, but in the hardware. As we can see, updating the firmware does not solve the problem.
Maybe the respected Reolink will admit his technical defeat and simply return the money to the clients for E1 Outdoor, then I will buy 2 ordinary cameras and install them on both sides of the facade so that they look in a cross direction and will not have a headache?

I use Trackmix poe for the past month very intensive. I must admit it has a decent video quality and top of the notch application, much more user friendly than Hikvision or Dahuha. And to make it even better I've made a list of features which would make this cam 6 stars worth. Now it's about 4 imho.
Reolink features:
1. View presets tour - we can set a view presets but there is no option to set automatic tour between them, we need also a slider for setting time period between preset change. For every preset there should be marking field in case some presets shouldn't be used with tour.
2. Only 1 detection zone -THIS IS MY biggest complain right now. Please consider this feature with future software and if you decide to go for it, please allow to set diferent actions available for every zone (siren, light)
3. Detection zone - no schedule here.
4. Double warning.
5. iOS Reolink app - no option for language change
6. iOS Reolink app - no Pre-motion Record option which is available in desktop app.
7. Siren on desktop app - no option for custom sound (it's available in mobile app)

First impression upon opening this camera is the sheer size. It's quite bigger compared to other cameras that I have. It will definitely be noticeable.
Speaking of noticeable, the motors in this camera are not quiet. I have tracking enabled and when you walk past the camera, even at about 20 feet away, you can hear the motors in the camera. That's one thing I don't love about this.
The tracking functionality only supports PT (pan and tilt). It won't zoom in on a person for example. The TrackMix camera does support zooming in while tracking.

The image quality is really great and offers excellent zoom capabilities. Even at night, the color vision is still really great with low lighting. However, the autofocus at night is really slow and struggles to focus.

To summarize, here are some things that I love about this camera:
* Easy one wire installation with PoE
* Great image quality and excellent zoom
* Two-way audio
* IR night vision
* Low light color with option to use spotlight
* Person/animal/vehicle detection with tracking
* Integration with HomeAssistant

And some things that I don't love:
* No zoom option with tracking
* PTZ functionaltiy in mobile and desktop app could be easier. For example, would be nice if I could use keyboard arrow keys to move camera or drag the position with my mouse. There is a "3D zoom" function in the desktop app that allows you draw a box for a region you want to zoom in on.
* Noisy motors
* Poor autofocus at night

I pieced together whole new Reolink system almost 2 years ago. And today the most expensive camera, my PTZ wired one must've had a seal leak as the image is all foggy. I crawled up a ladder to clean it and observed condensation at all the sensor windows. Not great to have this happen in winter. I hope the next one I'm forced to buy lasts longer. Not a happy camper.

Fantastic camera. The best of five cameras. The preset points can be zoomed in and when you change from one point to another the camera remembers to adjust the zoom. Contrary to the red noticed the camera I received does track up, down left and right. Superb clarity. I don’t care about sound quality but it sounds OK to me. Extremely pleased with it, can’t find fault with it. I will see if it performs well over the next year.

I bought this model to cover a spot in my front yard. I had previously purchased several of the more expensive PTZ models and had been very pleased with their performance but I did not need the zoom for one area in the front.

I found that this model frequently missed people and cars moving through the field of view and that tracking was often delayed to the point that the camera never caught up to the motion. In addition, the tracking function is limited to horizontal (pan) movements alone (i.e. no vertical tracking) so if the camera is mounted higher up (mine is at 10ft and pointing down at about 40 degrees), it wont catch the face of person moving in the upper part of the field of view. In short, I was disappointed with this cameras performance as a security camera. In addition, as mentioned in other reviews, the audio is not great and the noise it makes when PTZ-ing is horrendous.

To their credit, the support folks tried hard to help and provided firmware that seemed to improve performance a bit. However, they did not offer to refund my purchase (maybe I should ask?).

I recently purchased one of the new Reolink Duo 3 16MP cameras as a replacement. Perhaps this one be better suited to my front yard.

In my experience - that is are really good device. I have to explain setup was not simple for me because i'm a newbie. But we all got youtube now.

This is my second purchase of a Reolink outdoor camera. The first is over a year old with solar panel charging and has been very reliable thru heat, dust and pounding rain so when I needed a new driveway cam, Reolink was #1 on my list. Outdoor E1 has even better features. Very easy to setup with the choice of 2.4 or 5 GHz dual band Wi-Fi connection. Mounting the E1 is very easy and has quick release from mount bracket if needed. The setting includes auto tracking, person, vehicle, with adjustable parameters for size of trigger for motion, block areas out (like sidewalk) to eliminate alerts from areas you don't want to monitor or blackout neighbor's yard. The biggest plus is the Reolink App has RELIABLE software that works.

One thing I have a problem with the calibration routine, having it recalibrate when setting patrol points, is a pain. The other day I wanted to look at my yard and the camera was not at the point where I remembered it was. It had moved to another patrol point, by itself. It´s a big problem for me.
Security doesn't give me much, to be honest, and it is precisely for security reasons that I bought this camera.

Had an issue with the first one I got, but since it was under warranty I got a new one. This works great, and I happened to have a hole drilled through my house where cable TV came in. I just ran right through there because my router was in that room. I like the height because no one can mess with it. We had kids throwing rocks at the neighbor's camera and busted them, so at least out of my 4 Reolink cameras, this one is high enough, just under the second story, so it might be a bit harder to throw rocks at it.

Completely backward with tech but I managed to get the app and load the 2 x E1 Outdoor camaras. It was an extremely lengthy process for me but I did manage it following the instructions over and over. So yes, these camaras are easy to set up and an electrician can install for you. Camaras working well now installed.

I have this camera placed in a flight of 14 destructive macaws in my bird sanctuary. These guys have been so curious of the camera and have tried biting it! The solid construction has deterred any biting from the birds. That being said, it has amazing visuals day and night. Crazy good zoom.

The app is a bit buggy with these cams sometimes, but I believe it is an issue with the app. When it's done refocusing after zooming, the app doesn't update with the correct focus to adjust.

Pros: Easy to setup & install. I had my first camera fully setup & working in test mode with 3rd party recording software in about 30 mins. App is intuitive & easy to learn. I love the spotlight feature & smart features.
Cons: Camera cannot be powered by PoE. Which means I had to use third party hardware like PoE splitters to install devices on long runs. 2 way audio can be cumbersome but it is what it is. Camera only supports 10/100 Mbps. Most current networks support 10/100/1000

Almost a perfect camera though barring the limitations. If Reolink keeps making cameras like this but better they will be my 1 stop shop.

I bought the camera 30/6/25 with E1 Zoom. I wish I had read the reviews here before set my mind on it. For the price point you expect a bit more. Clear picture, bright light (i 'd like to be able to set the timer for off), nice size for flat apartment balcony and easy ftp recording RTSP settings. My issue is that the silicone SD card cap keeps popping out of place and blocks the movement. It starts slowly and gradually stucks.
My wife told me to not use the Up/Down movement and the problem is solved but is this the quality we want for our products?

Hi, can this be connected to Reolink NVRs for 24x7 recording? Alternatively if an SD card is used, how many hours of continous recording can you get with a 256gb card?

• elena Fahad Jabbar - Mar 29, 2021

  Compra Verificada Oficial

  Thanks for your interest in our new camera E1 outdoor. The short answer to your question is yes. E1 outdoor can record 24/7 to Reolink NVR under the same network. How long a 256Gb SD card will be full depends on the bit-rate setting, if you keep E1 outdoor record in default bit-rate - 4Mb/s, it needs around 42GB capacity for 24 hours continuous recording. In this case, a 256GB card can record 6 days.

This camera works very good especially for the cost. Really easy setup, and easy to use. The voice over doesn’t work very well, just noise comes out. When in night mode, blinks between color and black and white. I’ve had many security cameras over the years, and this is the best so far, and I will get more.

I have four other reolink cameras and for the price point they are very good. I purchased this outdoor camera to cover a blind spot my Dahua camera is not able to cover. - for me tracking and alerts are not important so o disabled them. Zoom: 3x zoom is ok, personally I would like at least a 10x zoom bit this does the job. IR/nighttime: very good, though with snow on the ground it makes it excellent. Night time colour: only good to about 20', it would be great if reolink developed / utilized starlight technology, but then price point would jump - so I guess a trade off. Two way audio: not important, but my two other E1 cams do not have very good two way. Quality of image: really good, and clear. WiFi: the two E1 indoor cams I have I needed to use an ethernet cable, so I was prepared to use one with this camera, but seems that the camera works fine on wifi so far.

Overall I am happy with this camera, good price point, easy to set up and use.

The photos show night time with floodlight, zoom and zoomed out.

The video quality and field of view is excellent. Person detection sensitivity is good but the specificity is low. I get many false person detections during the night, specially when it's raining, which triggers the spot light and gives me notifications.

  By inserting a micro SD card to E1 outdoor and set up the record schedule (just record on motions or record 24/7), then the camera could record like you want. You could also record to FTP, Reolink NVR or QNAP or Synology NAS.
  
  E1 Outdoor supports RTSP protocol, but we did not stream the camera to a private website before. You might need a decoder (software or hardware) to finish that. E1 Outdoor could stream the video to YouTube.
