TrackMix on Synology: how to view the second lens
Choose Stream 3 or a second camera entry for the TrackMix tracking lens, and check when Synology uses two licences.
Quick answer
For TrackMix PoE or TrackMix WiFi, first try Stream 3 on the existing Synology camera entry. If that profile is absent and you need both views at once, Reolink documents adding the tracking lens as a second RTSP entry; that method consumes two licences.
Three documented paths for the second view
Reolink says the default ONVIF or Reolink profile shows the wide lens. Stream Profile 3 with H.265 displays the tracking stream at 1920 × 1080. Its alternative is a second RTSP camera entry using the tracking-lens stream; a further Reolink-protocol method is documented with a DS1618+ on DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5 or later. Reolink explicitly says the last two-entry methods consume two licences.
Reolink: adding cameras to SynologyWhen one profile is not two simultaneous views
Switching the stream on a single camera entry selects the lens to display. If you need the wide and tracking views simultaneously as separate entries, plan for the second-entry procedure and its documented licence cost. The documentation does not prove talkback, events or tracking controls in either profile.
Check your setup
- Confirm your exact model is TrackMix PoE or TrackMix WiFi; these steps do not establish identical channel behavior for Duo 2 or Duo 3.
- In Synology IP Camera, inspect the video profile for H.265 + Stream 3. Verify that it displays the tracking lens, rather than counting a second camera entry immediately.
- If Stream 3 is missing, follow Reolink’s second RTSP entry method for the tracking lens. Keep credentials out of shared screenshots and notes.
- Before buying an additional licence, check available units in Surveillance Station and confirm whether your chosen one-entry or two-entry method meets the actual viewing need.
What this does not establish
This guide describes setup paths in Reolink documentation, not a CameraCompat compatibility verdict for your particular Synology firmware, Device Pack or TrackMix revision.
