Reolink POE IP Camera Setup

Were you able to get all the buttons on lovelace card working for E1 Zoom?

The IR light definitely works… the email and ftp buttons are clickable but i’m not sure they’re doing what they are supposed to… i’m just getting familiar with the camera. If you provide instructions i would be happy to check/confirm.

Anyone got this working with e1 zoom and can control the camera via ptz? I am looking for a way to turn my cameras into the Wall whenever we are home and have not Armed the house. So any way to control the movement of The camera would be really helpful

You can download the Reolink utility on your desktop or mac computer and configure the email and FTP features. Then you can use the card buttons to turn the features on and off.

I did setup my Reolink E1 Zoom using the config but i am not able to get the camera preveiw. Also IR lights, FTP and Email buttons are working but no indication of motion detection. Anyone able to setup the motion detection.

Also has someone setup a camera using ONVIF integration?

doesn’t look like the card buttons are working.

HI Guys,

so can not understand Reolink E1 stream and motion detections works?

Has anyone got the E1 Pro working with the https://github.com/fwestenberg/reolink integration including motion detection?

I couldn’t get it working and the github page lists the E1 Pro as unsupported.
I have it working with


camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: Soggiorno
    input: "rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main"

I think i’ve read of people using the onvif platform

I got it working but on ver 0.114 only I cannot get it to work on 0.116.

Does anyone know if we can use both reolink_dev and ffmpeg? Thanks.

I find this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/reolinkcam/comments/jd1sfh/better_motion_detection/ hope it helps.

Very nice! How do you detect motion though - are you using the custom component?

i have actually now moved to Watsor with the ONVIF integration for the cameras

Any reason? Do you have a tutorial link I could explore?

I have successfully integrated RLC-410_5mp and E1 zoom cameras in Home Assistant
All the possible integrations worked for me.
The only issue I have is the latency that is around 18-20 seconds.
If I stream the rtsp through VLC the latency is around 3-4 seconds that is totally acceptable.

Either I stream through HOme Assistant ( with any of the possible integrations ) or MotionEye, I start noticing the increased latency.

any clue to solve this? This is not happening with other cameras

I have a little Problem with this one.
This way of integrate my cams stopped working after an update on the companion app.
My livevideo ist refreshing some times for serveral minutes.

On Chrome it works perfecty fine.
Any suggestions ?

Sorry i’m newbee how it works and how can i install it?

Hi guys, at this moment I’m waiting for my pull request to be accepted. Once it is accepted, Reolink is official supported in HA using a nice integration flow. Also, I added real-time motion events (with a binary sensor). It should look more or less like this:
(forget the Dutch names :smile:)

I also added a settings menu:
