This guide will walk you through the installation process for the outdoor security mount of your TrackMix series cameras. You can choose to mount it on the wall, ceiling, or on a tree.
Applies to: Reolink TrackMix (Battery), Trackmix Series B770, Reolink TrackMix PoE, Reolink TrackMix WiFi, Reolink TrackMix LTE, Reolink TrackMix Wired LTE, and RLC-830A, P830.
If your camera is TrackMix LTE Plus or TrackMix LTE Plus 2, refer to How to Install Reolink TrackMix LTE Plus Series.
Depending on the camera model and hardware version, the mount base and installation steps may vary. Some cameras have a mounting base integrated into the camera body (Left image), while others have a detachable mounting base (Right image), as shown in the figure below.
Choose the installation method and follow the steps that match your camera’s design.
Before installation, make sure to orient the camera as shown below. Do not install it upside down, as this may compromise its waterproofing.

Mounting Base Integrated Into the Camera Body
These cameras have a mounting base integrated into the camera body, so it cannot be detached.
There are three methods of installation available:
Method 1. Mount the Camera on the Wall
Method 2. Mount the Camera on the Ceiling
Method 3. Mount the Camera with Loop Strap
Here is a video to help you install the camera on the wall and ceiling:
Method 1. Mount the Camera on the Wall
Step 1. Using the “Wall” section on the mounting template as a guide, mark 4 drilling points with a pencil and drill holes into the wall with a power drill. (Use the included drywall anchors if needed.)
Step 2. Based on your installation needs, choose the top or bottom notch to route the camera's cable.
If you want to route the cable downward, guide the cable to the bottom notch simply. If you want to route the cable upward, tuck it into the long cable channel and guide it to the top notch.
Step 3. Use the included screws to screw the mount base to the wall.
Step 4. Connect the Ethernet or power cable to the network device or power adapter. Then you can adjust the lens by hand, or pan and tilt via the Reolink App or Client to adjust the camera's direction.
Method 2. Mount the Camera on the Ceiling
Step 1. Using the “Ceiling” section on the mounting template as a guide, mark 4 drilling points with a pencil and drill holes into the ceiling with a power drill. (Use the included drywall anchors if needed.)
Step 2. Based on your installation needs, choose the top or bottom notch to route the camera's cable.
If you want to route the cable downward, guide the cable to the bottom notch simply. If you want to route the cable upward, tuck it into the long cable channel and guide it to the top notch.
Step 3. Install the mount base to the ceiling using the screws included in the package.
Step 4. Connect the Ethernet or power cable to the network device or power adapter. Then you can adjust the lens by hand, or pan and tilt via the Reolink App or Client to adjust the camera's direction.

Step 2. Thread the provided strap through the slots of the mounting plate.
Step 3. Fasten the strap onto the tree firmly.
