Description Reolink TrackMix
Reolink TrackMix video camera:
Another non-standard solution from Reolink . Represents a rotating (PTZ) IP video surveillance camera with two independent lenses - wide-format (for panoramic shooting) and a lens with a dynamic focal length (for detailed shooting).
One of the lenses, equipped with 6x, optical and digital zoom. Due to which, it has the ability to enlarge (zoom in) the image by 6 times. Which makes it possible to see details from a great distance or height. For example: from 5 above, the camera captures the license plate perfectly.
Another lens - shows the general panorama of the image. And the rotary mechanism allows you to accompany the observed object through the monitoring zone in tracking mode (in automatic mode).
Data storage
Reolink TrackMix - supports several video storage methods: SD card, cloud storage and DVR.
Like most Reolink products, TrackMix supports
SD cards up to 256Mb, class 10 .
This method of data storage has both its disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantage is that in the event of theft or damage to the video camera, the information will disappear along with it. In addition, SD cards have a rewrite resource. Therefore, it is worth preparing for the periodic replacement of cards with data loss and additional costs for the purchase of SD media, approximately once every couple of years. Therefore, using this method of saving information, you should not neglect systematic backup and mount cameras in places where their damage or theft would be impossible.
The main advantage of this method is independence. Reolink video cameras are independent devices and only power is required for their operation. The software autonomously controls the camera, and the presence of an SD card ensures the preservation of information.
The Reolink company offers users of its products cloud storage for data storage. This method has two disadvantages - dependence on the Internet, and as a result - lack of guarantees to get your data. And the additional tariff fee for using the "cloud". Among the advantages of this method is the remote storage of information on servers located in other countries. That makes it impossible for them to be removed either by criminals or security forces.
And finally: probably the most reliable method is saving on local media. Such as a video recorder or a NAS server. It does not require the Internet, as it depends only on the local network, it is possible to write in a Raid-array (duplication of information on several media). This method has a fairly high level of reliability, but a significant drawback is the cost of media.
