which reolink camera do you have?

22

It’s reolink C2-pro

23

I have a RLC-23 and I saved preset locations to point at in the camera web interface and setup a restful command to that tell the camera to point at the saved preset locations.

24

that is exactly what I need. Would you mind sharing those rest commands?

Ok, I figured it out.
For those who want to know how:

  • Open the admin page of your camera. Mine was on http://192.168.0.121
  • Go to the PTZ section and see your pre-configured locations
  • Open your debug tools of your browser (on mac, F12) and select the network tab
  • Execute the command to move to default location
  • Take a look at the network tab to see which url was called
  • Enjoy

One example:
http://192.168.0.121/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=PtzCtrl&token=xxxxxxx

Glad you figured it.

If you are on use Chrome Ctrl+Shift+i to bring up the network panel.

rest_command:
  poolcamptz1:
    url: http://192.168.1.128/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=PtzCtrl&token=xxxxxxxxxxxx
    method: POST       
    payload: '[{"cmd":"PtzCtrl","action":0,"param":{"channel":0,"op":"ToPos","speed":32,"id":1}}]'

"id"1 refers to saved camera position 1

Yes, that’s exactly how I ended doing it, thank you. The hardest par was to get a token hourly inside the hassio way of doing things.

28

How did you mange that?
