Reolink E1 Zoom and/or Pro in HA

mnpg · February 12, 2022, 10:49am

hi @johnflorin and everyone,

first of all, thanks you @johnflorin for your guide. To help you and the HA community, i share with you my Reolink API unofficial documentations, based on my 5MP Reolink Cameras.
https://github.com/mnpg/Reolink_api_documentations > repository unofficial :

Right now, you’ll find one for the non-ai cameras and the second contains the first one + commands for AI.

DOC Reolink Correspondance Commandes-Menus.pdf : Documentation for NON AI cameras
DOC Reolink Correspondance Commandes-Menus_AI.pdf : Documentation for AI and NOT AI cameras

Most commands are detailled (AI, non AI, PTZ or not, Zoom or not,…) but NOT ALL the commands (check the “official” doc). Also recent ones, taken from the latest firmware of january 2022, are added.

(sorry, all docs are in french but easy to translate).

Regards

Hi, and thanks for a great guide.

Two questfions:

Does the guide(s) presented in the thread support:

Reolink E1 Outdoor?
Reolink RLC-523WA - 5MP?

Can either or other outdoor models track a moving object. i.e. start recording on motion detection and track the object as it moves?

Thanks!

johnflorin · February 16, 2022, 3:32pm

I’d say at least the E1 Outdoor should be similar to the Zoom & Pro (been meaning to pick up one myself once I finally get some LAN cables to the yard ) and thus be covered by this guide.

As for physically tracking on motion detection, I know of no way for this to happen besides using the Reolink software itself, but maybe others know.

Were you able to start/stop the recording of the camera via the WebRTC or Onvif integration?

@johnflorin @jurajnyiri - Thank you - simple changes to to the same PTZ control, privacy and preset positions for the TP-Link Tapo cameras via GitHub - JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control: Control for Tapo cameras as a Home Assistant component

Hi everyone!

Is there a reason why Reolink E1 PRO is listed as unsupported camera by the HACS intergration?

As I know, the E1 pro is very similar to the E1 Zoom, at lease both have the same protocol support.
Has anybody have success with E1 pro with HACS?

Thanks!

johnflorin · March 23, 2022, 12:49pm

The main difference that I’m aware of is the lack of a web UI in the E1 Pro vs. the E1 Zoom…but haven’t used the HACS option myself.

samourai47 · April 6, 2022, 8:19pm

hello. I am newbie in homme assistant. I installed this configuration with e1 zoom
Do you thin’k is it possible to have a script that close de infrared light when the preset is 001 and open when preset is 000 for example, like this

‘’’
alias: Infrared light On
sequence:

service: onvif.ptz
target:
entity_id: camera.camera_castagnary_profile000_mainstream
data:
preset: ‘000’
move_mode: GotoPreset
mode: single
icon: mdi:camera
‘’’

The idea is to use with alarmo . But the camera is near my bed and…

Thank’s

Turbovix · April 19, 2022, 4:54pm

Yes, it is possible to use in RP3/4 by Docker.

jussbba · April 19, 2022, 6:05pm

Hello! I have a question about E1 Zoom presets. Can presets only move camera or also zoom in to a specific location? For example if someone rings the doorbell, is he camera able move and zoom to the door using preset? Thanks

sashamik · April 29, 2022, 6:25pm

Yes, preset defines both direction and zoom

@Barmalej How smooth is your stream from the Reolink E1 Zoom in HA?
Mine stutters quite a bit when I view it on the app @ my OnePlus 9, while it looks much better in browser on Windows PC. I tried Onvif and direct RTSP with WebRTC.

tessanadik · May 19, 2022, 2:38pm

Does the support the Reolink Lumus?

nat8 · May 21, 2022, 3:52am

The Lumus doesn’t support RTSP (See the “Protocols and Standards” heading in specifications).

Will this also work with the reolink e1 outdoor?

johnflorin · July 14, 2022, 9:12pm

Don’t have one, but everything I’ve read would seem to suggest yes, it’s ONVIF & RTSP-compatible, so it seems to be very much like the E1 Zoom/Pro series. If you do get one, report back

cloudbr34k · July 19, 2022, 12:29am

Hi guys

I have the E1 Outdoor and i got the integration working through the Onvif Integration
I have 2 Sensor entities and the entity option to reboot
That’s all as i just stumbled across this topic.
I dont see the anything about presets etc
