Wow so I think we are cooking!!!!

So, I don't know how I got to this link in support.reolink.com (it's from two days ago, as of right now):
https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/ar ... r-RTSP-URL

In there, it states:
The format of RTSP address is as below:
rtsp://(user name):(password)@(IP address):554/h264Preview_01_(stream type)
I was not using the :554 port on my URLs.
After adding the :554 my URL string is:

Code: Select all

rtsp://admin:PASSWORD@10.0.30.239:554/h264Preview_01_main
And Method: UDP (I was previously using TCP)

I gave it one hour... and all the monitors are up!
They all have good quality images.
And the Log file link is in green.

WOWZA!
Tomorrow I'll add the other monitors I have... and update this thread with more information.

Some keywords for others that might be searching:
Reolink Zoneminder 1.36
reolink source zoneminder

Seems odd to append the port number, when it’s the default port for rtsp.

At least some cams work only udp, regardless of the port. So probably tcp was the root problem.
