#124 part 2 — Reolink slice. Encodes the camera-side vs Frigate-autotracking distinction for Reolink: onboard tracking works, but Frigate autotracking does not because Reolink exposes only absolute ONVIF PTZ (Frigate needs relative movement).

Changed (20 mechanical-PTZ Reolink with a Frigate config)

  • configs.frigate.autotracking: false + note ("Reolink uses absolute ONVIF PTZ; Frigate autotracking requires relative movement") on all 20.
  • ptz.onvif_ptz: absolute on the 18 that expose ONVIF (the 2 without ONVIF in our data — rlc-823a, rlc-830a — get the frigate flag only, no ONVIF claim).
  • Camera-side ptz.autotracking (which genuinely works) left untouched and distinct.

Models: E1 Outdoor ×5, E1 Pro, E1 Zoom, RLC-823A/-16x/S1/S1W/S2, RLC-830A, RLC-523WA, RLC-81PA, RLC-423, P830, TrackMix PoE/WiFi, TrackFlex.

Scope / sourcing (per your call)

  • Community-sourced (Frigate docs/forums + discussion #11924), not a Reolink datasheet field — recorded as an integration fact with an explanatory note, kept separate from official-spec fields.
  • Fixed dual-lens Reolink excluded (Duo/Elite — no mechanical pan/tilt, so Frigate autotracking is N/A).
  • Camera-side ptz.autotracking gaps on ~10 other Reolink PT models (argus-track, duo-3, omvi, etc.) are a separate follow-up, not in this PR.

AJV passes on all 2,230; build + gen-docs clean.

⚠️ Versioning: uses v1.37.0 to avoid colliding with the open ACTi PR #127 (v1.36.0). Whichever merges second will need a trivial package.json/CHANGELOG rebase.

#124 part 2, Reolink slice. On 20 mechanical-PTZ Reolink with a Frigate config:
configs.frigate.autotracking=false + note (Reolink = absolute ONVIF PTZ; Frigate
autotracking needs relative move), and ptz.onvif_ptz=absolute on the 18 exposing
ONVIF. Camera-side ptz.autotracking unchanged. Community-sourced integration
fact, labeled. Fixed dual-lens (Duo/Elite) excluded.
Sets ptz.autotracking:true on 10 Reolink PTZ confirmed via official Reolink
product pages / support table: Argus Track, E1, E1 Zoom, RLC-823S2, Omvi 3I
PoE/WiFi, Omvi X16, Go PT Plus/Ultra, Go Ranger PT (24->34). 4 are hw-revision
gated (model tracks current production). Folded into the Reolink autotracking PR.
