Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Tracking and zoom behavior frustrate several users. Multiple commenters note the telephoto lens pans out instead of zooming aggressively onto a subject's face or body, a complaint carried over unaddressed from the TrackMix. Tracking motion is described as jerky, sometimes indecisive between zoomed and wide views, and the zoom lens is limited to 1080p or 2MP, disappointing buyers expecting sharper detail at range.

WiFi-only design is a recurring dealbreaker. Several users explicitly say they distrust WiFi for security or require wired networking, citing the lack of a PoE option as the main reason they'd skip this camera despite liking Reolink otherwise. Some link this to floodlight power demands, while others report ongoing WiFi connection instability during setup and streaming.

Software bugs undermine otherwise useful features. Users report the privacy mask moving incorrectly with the camera head, out-of-view detection settings being disabled when paired with Home Hub Pro, light color temperature options disappearing after hub pairing, and SD card recording or dual-lens playback failures. App disconnects while reviewing footage and unresponsive support after a defective unit add to reliability concerns.
