So finally got around to mounting the Reolink TrackMix WiFi 4K PTZ Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Lens Security Camera and thought I would share a picture.
The camera is mounted higher than originally planned because I live in a cul-de-sac and my neighbours asked if it could also cover the areas around their properties. Mounting it at a greater height provides the wider field of view needed to achieve this. However, the trade-off is that it is less able to capture faces clearly at eye level.
Fortunately, a couple of our neighbours, including myself, have smart doorbell cameras. If anything untoward were ever to happen, we could, if necessary, use the footage from these cameras to assist. As they are mounted at eye level, they are also more likely to capture clear facial images than my CCTV camera.

Update on this as I was getting lots of false alarms at night, especially when it was raining..Every time it rained heavily or moths fluttered near the lens, my camera would flag a false event and trip the spotlight. It was constantly mistaking rain over my parked car as a “Vehicle” movement..I managed to resolve this by tweaking a setting called Alarm Delay (Settings > Detection Alarm > Alarm Delay).By default, the AI reacts instantly and causes false triggers..Alarm Delay forces the camera to double-check that a shape is actually there for the nominated time (seconds) before triggering, since rain and insects fly past in a split second, this filters most of them out..I changed my Reolink Alarm Delay sliders to:-
- Person: 1 sec
- Animal: 2 sec
- Vehicle: 2 sec
Tested the new settings in pouring rain and it is working well, my 24/7 timeline was completely clean and no false alerts. Definitely give this a go if you’re experiencing the same issues!.Attachments:
