FYI - nice price for a PTZ .. still do think carefully of your functional needs, do note Reolink cameras are using more affordable components and thus do poorly in low light conditions. Also note this is listed as H.265 .. and in some cases H.264 works better with some 3rd party VMS / NVRs and AI ..

Amazon night time pictures shown are not what you should expect in real life .. they are "enhanced" to sell the product.

if you need a good low light PTZ expect to spend more and look for a Hikvision OEM or a Dahua OEM model with a larger sensor ..


Reolink:
Image Sensor 1/2.8" CMOS sensor
Video Format H.265

Video Resolution Default: 3840X2160 (8.0 Megapixels) at 25 frames/sec

We used to like Reolink, but we've had 2 RLC-410a that have had issues just after the 2 year mark with water getting inside. It seems the quality is decreasing more than just cheap components for low light. Sad because I really liked them!

Tempting, but the auto-tracking doesn't zoom like the TrackMix so I'm waiting for a deal on that.

Where did you see that? I thought the track mix had two lenses and this one didn't

Trackmix is two cameras that move together in one pan and tilt housing. One camera is an 8MP wide view and the other is 2MP with 6x hybrid zoom. Each camera has its own stream and records to its own file (so two files are recorded simultaneously). The auto tracking on Trackmix will pan, tilt, and zoom while it follows a person, vehicle, or animal. I'm told that the other Reolink PTZ cameras only pan and tilt while auto tracking and won't auto zoom in/out on the person, vehicle, or animal.

Just got this installed yesterday and so far no zooming. However it is very clear and does track well… even my dogs! Lol

Edit:
After looking over the trail mix camera I'm going to go out in a limb and say they don't track and zoom either. It says they present a zoomed in and zoomed out picture (like you were saying) next to each other!
