      2. Add the description of video preview
      3. Delete the abandoned command (rtmp start/rtmp stop/rtmp auth)
      4. Add the version field to the login command
      5. Add GetSysCfg/SetSysCfg/GetStitch/SetStitch commands
      6. ISP adds multi-level frame drop and soft light sensitivity
      7. NVR cut and download video file optional stream type
      8. Increase the ptz guard parameter
      9. Increase the white light setting parameters
      10. Add description for ftp command
      11. Improve the capability set
      12. Improve the error code


       
      Hooray! Here also comes the good news. Many users have requested Webhook support for AI detection of third-party integration. Our tech team is working on this project. If you have any requests, please share them with us to make our work better.

            @reolink-fiona I'm looking with interest the new doorbell, but webhooks will be available in doorbell too?
            It's mandatory for me to get a doorbell that can be integrated with home assistant!

              @reolink-fiona It's good to hear you are developing webhooks support!

              I'm also very keen to look at using the webhooks with Home Assistant as that's how I manage all my IOT smart devices, so it would be good if that could be a primary test target.

              Do you know if the webhooks will come to the Duo v1?

                We will have a beta version of webhook these two months.

                We will apply the webhook for some specific models first. Then we will apply it to more new models.

                You can stay tuned for our announcement if you are willing to test.

                  I'm very excited to hear about the webhook work. That is going to be really useful.

                  I think the main thing is to be as flexible as possible with what data is sent. It might be nice to have an option to POST or PUT an entire image along with an alert -- but for other applications short and sweet would be nicer.

                  (It would be really nice to also implement MQTT.)

                      @extreme_590650728796222 +1 on this. I just got the doorbell today, it's great but I would love to get the door ding notification through api.

                        @reolink-fiona Webhook capability is potentially excellent, but will it be available for the 3G/4G cameras (Go PT Plus)? If not, can the API be used with those cameras given they won't have a static IP? Thanks

                          @reolink-fiona Great news about webhooks. It will be easier for people doing home automation to start scene if the camera can call a webhook. It will be interesting to implement that in the NVR to avoid me to buy a POE switch. It is easier than calling the REST api !

                            Great news! Works fine with the E1 Outdoor!
                            Is it also applicable to battery-powered cams like the Argus 3 Pro?

                                    @reolink-fiona I'm looking with interest the new doorbell, but webhooks will be available in doorbell too?
                                    It's mandatory for me to get a doorbell that can be integrated with home assistant!

                                    I think it will have this function. If you need to be sure, you should call for support directly from the supplier.

                                      I would like to integrate the doorbell in my existing smart home from Loxone.
                                      Therefor I need :

                                      • a configurable action (mqtt post or http request) for the button
                                      • Two-Way-Audio over SIP-Protocoll


                                      To bridge the gap, i can also imagine using the reolink app to control an external device such as a door opener.

                                        It would be nice if there was a way via API (it seems just get cert and clear cert currently exist) to update the certificates on the device - I was thinking of having a LetsEncrypt script to generate a cert for my camera and push it to the camera every 90 days or so....

                                          @reolink-fiona Can you confirm that the NvrDownload documentation is correct? I couldn't get it to work at all (param error).

I am trying to use this command and the nginx on the NVR times out. I hear the HDD spinning for a long time. I have not managed to make this command work so please provide more information about what support has responded. Thanks

                                                  Answering my own question: I upgraded the NVR firmware but now I get a params error so probably the API has changed 😕

                                                  I want to trigger the White light with an API command, just turn it on and off! I can trigger the White Light when my house alarm is triggered.

                                                  Same for the alarm/sirene.

                                                    Would be nice also to have 2-Way Audio via API if possible. Thanks!

                                                      Any chance they will implement MQTT?

                                                        Hello,

                                                        would it‘s be possible to get an output about the ‚smart detection‘ via the API?
                                                        It seems that at the moment just a motion are going over the API

                                                        Thanks

                                                          hi @Reolink-Fiona, i deeply regret that in the v8 version of the API guide of April 2023, there some newer commands are still missing from some cameras :

                                                          DOORBELL

                                                          • GetPowerLed > new field : eDoorbellLightState

                                                          from newer Doorbell firmware ( v3.0.0.1859 ) :

                                                          • Set3DPos


                                                          Can we have a new update of the guide with these commands.
                                                          Thanks in advance

                                                          EDIT : add new commands

                                                          • GetAudioCfg > new field (visitorLoudspeaker) -for Doorbell-

                                                          FYI, i contribute (aka mnpg or mnpg_fr -on reddit-) in the development of the Reolink plugin, with jezza34000 -his author-, for the french home automation called Jeedom. This plugin is free and right now -april 2023-, we have more than 800 installs. i bring my modest contribution to starkillerOG for the official Reolink HA plugin and also i have a github repo, as mnpg, that contains official documentations and unofficial detailled documentations of the reolink cameras for sharing my knowledge with other reolinkers since 2020.

The problem is, that Reolink API works via POST method only and my smart home (Loxone - one of biggest in segment in Europe) supports only GET method for input. Do you think, it would be possible to use GET method too for getting states in future? Thank you!

Maybe you can make a request to Reolink support to include it in the future releases of their API.

I've been using your cameras for a few years now, and I've always been impressed with the quality of your products and the level of support you provide.
                                                                          The new API guide is very comprehensive and easy to follow. I was able to quickly find the information I needed to integrate my Reolink cameras with my home automation system.
                                                                          I'm particularly excited about the new Webhook support for AI detection. This will allow me to trigger automations based on events like motion detection or person detection.
                                                                          I'm looking forward to seeing what other great features you'll add to the API in the future.
                                                                          Thanks again for a great product and a great API!

I'm hoping to somehow tie into the Survellance system that identifies when a vehicle passes (or ideally stops) next to my mailbox and then using perhaps Google's Vision API (or something similar) to identify the USPS truck by its logo. Then once the USPS truck has been identified as being next to my mailbox, to send an email alert that there might be snail mail in my mailbox.

                                                                            Any help would be appreciated.

To load a picture of the object and once this object matches the one being analysed by the camera, a specific high priority message is forwarded to the user. I think we are asking too much at this point in time and hope one day it shall be implemented. Today on Reolink cameras we don't have facial detection and recognition and neither number plate recognition. However, this may be implemented by forwarding the stream to an AI cloud service which can offer such a service as per your article.

Can you enter with https (assuming you enabled https on camera) and check whether you can watch live and playback?

                                                                                      What I want to build is my own web application, where I can directly see the video from the camera (and also invoke the API directly from the web browser). Everything should work as-is if the camera firmware had a way to configure CORS. So what I'm asking is whether that feature is already built-in in the firmware, and how can I configure it? If that feature does not exist, I want to make a plea to have it 🙂

I am excited to see and how you continue to develop this ecosystem and provide users with more options for integrating their Reolink cameras into their smart homes.
                                                                                      I am also interested in learning more about your users' projects and how they are using the Reolink Camera API. Please encourage your users to share their ideas and projects with you so that you can continue to improve the API and make it even more useful for them.

                                                                                        I have been looking in your website but I can't get a clear idea of which models are compatible with the API.

                                                                                        Can you provide a list of models or categories, please?

                                                                                        Thank you

See attached image. This would allow the possibility to have more complicated schedules through home automation systems. For examples: I want person detection enabled if nobody is home, or person detection enabled only at night.

                                                                                              In the command, Change #SWITCH# by 0 to disable (or 1 to enable) the Record surveillance mode

                                                                                                  I'm acutally adding my both new ReoLinks to my HomeAssistant installation. Doing that I spend a lot of afford in investing on API/Rest call from latest API documentation. I tried to setup disabling alarm by an extended Detection Zone. Nevertheless I can't make it work using the "SetMdAlarm" function.

                                                                                                  That raises the question how actual is the version 8 documentation of the API.

                                                                                                  I did also some investigation with devtools from google. and found out that the SetAlarmArea is not only working for AI types. It also seems to work with MD typ.

                                                                                                  Is that correct?

                                                                                                  Is there a newer version of the api documention with some more explanations?

                                                                                                  Or will it come soon?

                                                                                                  I attache the SetAlarmArea payload that is send from webinterface. May be helpfull for other useres.
