Motion Tracking Cameras

Motion tracking refers to the movement of a security camera along with the object. It automatically detects and follows the path of the moving object within the camera's field of view. It uses motorized pan, tilt, and zoom functions to keep the object centered in the frame. It captures more details and focuses on every movement of the object. It also covers a wider area and captures the object from different angles.

Motion tracking cameras detect movement using sensors. When they sense motion, the camera moves to follow the object. As the object moves, the camera also adjusts its pan and tilt position to stay on its path. This type of camera that follows motion records a more detailed video within its tracking range. It provides a clear visual summary with timestamps, making surveillance analysis easy for users.

Video Quality: The camera should deliver excellent video quality by recording in high resolution. While 4K or higher is ideal, it should at least be above 2K. The footage needs to be clear and detailed both during the day and at night.

Tracking Function: The camera must have a tracking feature. It should also support pan and tilt movements to follow the path of the moving object. As soon as motion is detected, the camera should start moving instantly to track and record the object’s movement.

Smart Detection: The camera should have a smart detection feature. This helps it recognize different types of objects, like people, vehicles, and pets. It reduces false alarms and sends more accurate and specific alerts to the user.

Night Vision: The camera should have night vision to capture clear and detailed videos at night. It may offer color night vision, black-and-white, or both. Check what night vision options the camera provides. Some models, like those with Reolink's ColorX technology, offer advanced night vision for even better results.

Connectivity: For reliable performance, you can use a wired motion-tracking security camera, but it needs proper wiring. Other options are Wi-Fi and cellular cameras. For a stable and fast connection, choose the dual-band Wi-Fi model. Cameras with Wi-Fi 6 function offer even better performance. A cellular camera is a good choice if there's no internet available at the location.

Motion security cameras should be placed in the broader area to cover everything. The height should be high enough to avoid obstructions and tampering. The camera should be able to pan and tilt completely without getting blocked by any obstacle. Usually, motion tracking cameras are placed outdoors, such as in the driveway and backyard. However, you can install them indoors at any open location.

Step 1: Select a suitable location for the camera and place the mounting plate. Mark the holes required.
Step 2: Drill the holes using a drill machine and secure the mounting plate. Now, mount the camera.
Step 3: Connect the motion tracking camera to power and network via wire or wirelessly. Finally, complete the setup to get it started.

After installation, follow these simple steps to set up motion track in Reolink cameras.

Step 1: Open the Reolink app. Go to the camera settings and tap Email Alerts.
Step 2: Turn on Email alerts and tap Image Setting.
Step 3: Enable Motion Track and Motion Timestamp.

Now, you will receive motion tracking alerts through email.

Yes, Reolink has a wide range of auto-tracking cameras. They detect the object automatically and start tracking the motion. You can get indoor and outdoor motion tracking cameras with excellent video quality and smart detection.

Reolink security cameras are equipped with smart motion detection. They can instantly detect the object within the field of view and start recording. They can distinguish between a person, pet, vehicle, or parcel. They send accurate real-time alerts to the connected devices.

A motion sensor security camera records when it detects movement. However, most cameras offer different recording options. You can set them to record continuously, only when motion is detected, or on a set schedule.

Motion detection cameras only detect the motion of the object. They do not pan and tilt as the object moves and are set at a certain angle. However, motion tracking cameras change their pan and tilt positions according to the object's movement. They follow the path and record more details.
