The Reolink TrackMix WiFi records 4K and pans 355 degrees and tilts 90 to follow people, so one camera covers a wide yard. The Aqara Camera G100 is a fixed 2K camera with a 140 degree diagonal view, which suits a doorway or a room.
The Reolink TrackMix WiFi runs on both Wi-Fi bands or over an Ethernet port, so a hard-wired run avoids Wi-Fi drops. The Aqara Camera G100 is 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only with no Ethernet.
The Aqara Camera G100 works with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant directly. The Reolink TrackMix WiFi lists Google Home only, and needs a Reolink Home Hub to reach Home Assistant.
The Aqara Camera G100 is a compact 58 mm cube of 180 g that disappears on a shelf or a wall. The Reolink TrackMix WiFi is a bulky dual-lens unit of more than a kilogram and needs a solid mount.
The Reolink TrackMix WiFi detects people, animals and vehicles without a plan. On the Aqara Camera G100 only motion and people are included, while animals, vehicles, familiar faces and packages sit behind a subscription.
The Reolink TrackMix WiFi pans and tilts on its own and zooms in with its telephoto lens, in 4K.
The Aqara Camera G100 supports Apple HomeKit natively, and the Reolink TrackMix WiFi does not.
The Reolink TrackMix WiFi has an Ethernet port, which is steadier than Wi-Fi outdoors.
The Aqara Camera G100 is a compact fixed 2K camera that costs less and needs no tuning.
Owners of both cameras like local recording with no subscription for the basics, and both groups meet a few false alerts and now and then a Wi-Fi drop. Aqara Camera G100 owners single out painless HomeKit pairing, a sharp 2K picture with strong color night vision for the size and weather sealing that holds up in rain and freezing temperatures, while they complain that the included USB-C cable is too short for outdoor installs, that the camera overheats in direct sun and that its microphone is basic. Reolink TrackMix WiFi owners praise the 4K image, the telephoto lens that follows people and keeps plates and faces readable, and the rugged metal build, and those who wire it call it rock solid. They complain that setup and tuning the tracking take effort, that night-time IR lights draw insects that trigger alerts, and that firmware updates and support can be slow.
The Reolink TrackMix WiFi wins overall, with 4K video, pan and tilt tracking, Ethernet as well as dual-band Wi-Fi and a two-year warranty. The Aqara Camera G100 is the choice for a lower price and for broader smart home platform support.
Movement and resolution. The Reolink TrackMix WiFi pans 355 degrees and tilts 90 degrees while recording 4K, whereas the Aqara Camera G100 is a fixed 2K camera with a 140-degree diagonal view.
Yes, both list RTSP, so either can feed a network recorder. The Aqara Camera G100 also works with Home Assistant directly, while the Reolink TrackMix WiFi needs a Reolink Home Hub for Home Assistant.
The Aqara Camera G100 covers Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Reolink TrackMix WiFi lists Google Home, plus Home Assistant through the Reolink Home Hub, and not Alexa, HomeKit or SmartThings.
Buyers watching a driveway or large yard who want 4K, pan and tilt coverage, Wi-Fi on both bands or an Ethernet cable and a two-year warranty should pick the Reolink TrackMix WiFi.
Anyone on a budget who wants 2K local recording, RTSP and broad smart home compatibility, including HomeKit, should pick the Aqara Camera G100.
