That's great. But if there are no ports open on the device, and no clue how to wake up the device, then that's not helpful :( Probably their official app does some kind of initial handshake. the only thing i've thought of is that it might have to do with the (reolink) PoE "injector" that ...

The message this unfortunately sends is "Reolink: We don't make standards compliant stuff, we don't care enough about customers like you!" What's odd is that reolink puts some effort into describing use of RTSP, connecting with VLC, ONVIF, ... https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles...

The message this unfortunately sends is "Reolink: We don't make standards compliant stuff, we don't care enough about customers like you!" Depressing, innit? Yup! it reminds me of having to look for printers that had good FOSS support. So now I'm on a quest for camera manufacturers that g...

here's another bit of reolink doc saying that Applies to: All Reolink IP cameras (Reolink E1 pro and E1 zoom included) except for battery-powered cameras and B1200/D1200/B800/D800/B500/D500/B400/D400/E1/ Reolink Lumus. The RTSP URL should be: Main Stream: rtsp://admin:password@ip_address/Preview_01_...

https://github.com/thirtythreeforty/neolink thanks for this hint. but the neolink doc says Neolink does not support other cameras such as the RLC-420, since they already provide native RTSP and the reolink doc for the camera https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/900004435763-How-to-Set-up-R...

they currently are NOT doing either chat or phone connections?! Hmm. Maybe they're swamped with questions about this camera and closed while looking for the answer? :roll: Sigh, Reolink support finally came back with an answer: Sorry to tell you that we only support the Windows and Mac Client curre...

I had not actively used ZM for years, and spent a fair amount of time perusing https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibility_List before picking a newer Reolink camera, RLC-811A https://reolink.com/product/rlc-811a/. Several very similar cameras (eg, https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Reolink#RLC-810A...

yes, i found the place to turn on vlc logging. but even setting it to DEBUG level doesn't seem to generate errors even tho its error message says to check?! but that is not my current concern. i am trying to get into reolink support to ask about this, but they currently are NOT doing either chat or ...

Do those network settings on the camera persist through a power -off? I don't think anthing is gonna work if nmap can't see those ports. Unless there's some magic something that turns them on? hi @dougmccrary, yes, the camera retains the settings thru power off. and i am also worried that nmap can'...

hi @boronzentetsww, no, this is on a direct ethernet connection from the host to the PoE camera

Still can't get my camera to connect to ZM, but perhaps a bit closer: i'm following these [Reolink camera suggestions](https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Reolink#RLC-810A) for my RLC-811A camera. and this is how I used the reolink app to set the camera's server reolink-server.png Pinging the camera still w...

@borozenetsww , if your question has to do with this particular thread:

i've found that ZM periodically quits, and needs a `sudo systemctl start zoneminder` to get it running again. Not sure why...

Since the "no url in button" message sounded browser-related, I just tried it with chromium (vs firefox), but i get the same error there.

Hi Doug, thanks for your reply. Tried again and... Good news/bad news: The good news is that now for the second time a Scan DID show the camera. (Why would the camera only show up on SOME scans?!) But the bad news is that clicking the found monitor's ADD button results in the same behavior as clicki...

I am able to ping the camera from the host connected directly to the camera. I first attempted to use the "Scan network" button, and exactly ONCE the camera showed up on the list of monitors. But clicking on "add monitor" didn't do it. And never since (repeatedly restarting ZM, r...
