Reolink Argus 4 Pro vs Reolink TrackMix WiFi

The Reolink TrackMix WiFi for most wired setups, thanks to its dual-lens auto-tracking, 6x zoom, dual-band or Ethernet connection and native RTSP. The Reolink Argus 4 Pro is the better choice when there is no power, where its battery, solar panel and 180-degree view do what the TrackMix cannot.

Power and approach. The Reolink TrackMix WiFi is a wired camera that pans, tilts and auto-tracks with a zoom lens, while the Reolink Argus 4 Pro is a battery and solar camera whose 180-degree dual-lens covers a whole area with no cable.

No. Both record locally, the Reolink TrackMix WiFi to a microSD card or a Reolink Home Hub and the Reolink Argus 4 Pro to a microSD card with FTP to a NAS. Neither needs a monthly plan to save footage.

This is its weak point. The Reolink Argus 4 Pro's solar panel barely charges below freezing and short, cold, cloudy days drain the battery, so owners often take it down to charge by hand in winter. The wired Reolink TrackMix WiFi has no such problem.

Buyers who want subscription-free auto-tracking PTZ coverage for a front door or driveway, with a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection and a zoom lens that keeps faces and plates readable.

Anyone who cannot run power to an outdoor spot and wants the widest single-camera view, ideally in a sunny climate, and who accepts that the solar panel struggles in winter.
