Doorbell now supported by Synology Surveillance Station

A heads up for those of you that have a Synology NAS. The latest version of Surveillance Station supports the Reolink Doorbell (without using ONVIF).
It also appears to support 2-way audio, but insists on having a HTTPS connection in order to activate this, not just the unencrypted HTTP. I guess that they mean the connection between your browser and Surveillance Station. I have not yet been able to install a certificate for this so cannot test the 2-way audio.
Anyone out there experienced with self-signed certs?

@user_717581899391160_717581899391160 All you need is to use openssl command. First generate the csr and key files and then use these to generate the pem file. So easy.

@joseph_1979 Hi, could you please explain how and where to do that? I have set up surveilance station and added reolink doorbell via https but dont know how to generate certificate. Many thanks

@user_699661102559440_699661102559440 Just do a search on the internet and include openssl. All you need is just three commands. Then go to HTTPS setting on the camera menu and import the pem and key files generated.

The following worked for me...

Run Windows Powershell as administrator
Copy/paste the following after changing 10.0.1.16 to the address of your Synology NAS...
$params = @{
  Subject = '10.0.1.16'
  TextExtension = @('2.5.29.17={text}IPAddress=10.0.1.16')
  "NotAfter" = (Get-Date).AddMonths(36)
  "KeyAlgorithm" = "RSA"
  "KeyLength" = "2048"
}
Copy/paste the following...
New-SelfSignedCertificate @params

Use the Windows MMC app to export the certificate from your Personal certificate store (for example to the desktop)
Use MMC to import the exported certificate to your Trusted Root certificate store
Install and run openssl
Produce a key file and certificate file from the exported certificate using the following 2 lines...
openssl pkcs12 -in C:\path\filename.pfx -out C:\path\filename.key -nodes -nocerts
openssl pkcs12 -in C:\path\filename.pfx -out C:\path\filename.crt -nokeys
On your Synology NAS, import the certificate using the 2 files produced by openssl

Note: you can probably do it all in either Powershell or openssl - I just happened to have used both tools.
The important bit is the line TextExtension = @('2.5.29.17={text}IPAddress=10.0.1.16'). Not having this correct caused me endless problems.

I've done this but when I hover over the microphone it still displays 'to use this feature, please switch to HTTPS connection'

@user_717581899391160_717581899391160 Does it support the wifi version or just the PoE?

@user_717581899391160_717581899391160 When setup this way does the 2 way audio work through surveillance station or is this just to setup recording? Does the doorbell button trigger events in surveillance station?

Does this support AI motion events? I'm trying to get these into Home Assistant, and the existing integrations don't work well. I'm wondering if an intermediary might make it easier.

[user_717581899391160_717581899391160]

@matthew_635366143033465 It supports "Person Detect".
