Ok, I finally got into a solution. Don’t ask me why (as I don’t know), but everything works if I reference the cameras this way:
camera.1
camera.2
camera.3
…
The strange thing is that they are called 01,02,03 etc. and also camera 08 must be referenced as 08, and not 8!
Thanks for helping btw.

Hi guys,
i have the RLK4-211WB4. Can you tell me the correct rtsp-Url to view the Stream? I test very much, but nothing works 
@aq5001 Could try Blue Iris software for motion detection etc. It is paid software, a one off cost, but it blows most others away and has pretty decent HA integration.
There is a tutorial here - Blue Iris Integration Tutorial .
I think, if I had my time again, I would actually skip the Reolink NVR and just go BI for the whole thing.
There is a link to add Reolink Cameras to BI here - https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003601394-How-to-Add-Reolink-Cameras-to-Blue-Iris
I am not sure if all Reolink cams are supported yet though.
Does anyone know the way to access motion detection information through the NVR?
I have tried…
http://192.168.X.Y/api.cgi?cmd=GetmdState&channel=0&user=****&password=***
But even when I change the channel from 0 to 1,2, or 3, it seems that I always get the motion status of only the first camera.
BTW, this command also works without the “channel” parameter, and still returns the status of the first cam, so I think this is probably the part that I have got wrong?
Did you find the answer? I’m thinking of buying NVR + four cameras, and the motion status would be a nice addition.
No - not got this working yet. But not paid it much attention either!
I’d recommend the integration from fwestenberg. It can be installed through HACS by adding it as a custom repository - https://github.com/fwestenberg/reolink.
Although I did struggle getting it to work through my NVR but after speaking to Reolink support, my NVR didn’t support the functionality.
Hi anyway to let this component work with Home Assistant 0.110.1
I’ve got this error
Invalid config for [sensor.template]: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘sensors’][‘motion_frontdoor’][‘delay_off’]. Got OrderedDict([(‘seconds’, 30)])
value is not allowed for dictionary value @ data[‘sensors’][‘motion_frontdoor’][‘device_class’]. Got ‘motion’. (See ?, line ?).
Hi, i have a Reolink RLN8-410-E NVR with v.2.0.0.249_20011608101 firmware (2020).
I have installed Reolink integration in HACS, and in configurarion.yaml I have configurated this:
camera:
- platform: reolink_dev
host: 192.168.1.16 <----- NVR IP OR CAM IP???
username: admin
password: my password
name: CAM GIARDINO
stream: sub
protocol: rtsp
channel: 01
scan_interval: '00:00:05'
Now I can see entity “camera.cam_giardino” (without entity icon, only name), but streaming don’t start.
https://github.com/fwestenberg/reolink , I set only point 1 (I’m non intrested about motion detection)
Do I have to configure something in NVR setting?

Access Error: Not Found

Here is mine. As you can see it’s slightly different so maybe have a play and see how you go. I am running latest firmware on NVR and cameras and this works without issue.
I tried the above url as well. same error. I think its has to do with firmware as the whol CGI program file itself is not found.
Interesting I still actively use mine for image snapshot and Google Cloud Vision object processing. Although I use Motioneye for RTSP conversion. Maybe you can have a look into getting your camera into Motioneye and then take a feed from that?
Hey, does anyone know if the NVR allows RTSP feeds for cameras which don’t support RTSP out of the box? (E1). Also does it have RTMP? Thank you.
my issue listed above is resolved by upgrading to most recent firmware.
v2.0.0.269_20042901.
Now I get snapshot images fine.
I’m looking into buying the Reolink 4k cameras for our house & integration into HA would be a must, google assitant a nice-to-have. Everything still seemingly working for everyone nicely?
Hi @AllFallD0wn,
I have the set with 4x 4K cameras and NVR and it works like a charm in HA.
With better than expected quality.
Hi guys,
I’m new to HA, I followed the video I link below for adding my cameras into HA but once I finished, I just see a camera called “camera.NVR.nvrname” with a grey window. I don’t see instead the cams of my NVR. I also tried to define the cams like @roadkill247 suggest but I still can’t find them into entities. On username and password I placed my user and password of the NVR, camera number 01 (as I tried the first one which is plugged into the 01 slot).
Hi, ciao! did you fix it? I also followed the reolink integration in Hacs but still can’t find my cameras as entities.
