API or Command line tool to download pictures and videos from a 4G camera

[markjustmark_989272468070601]

I have a Reolink Go PT Ultra that is set to take a time lapse photo every 5 minutes.

I currently use the Windows app to download the photos, but it is a slow, manual process.
(Go into time lapse, select the time lapse, select the day, wait for all the thumbnail pics to download, click each individual thumbnail pic to select it, then download them)

It would be really useful if there was a way to automate this downloading process.

Is there an API or command line tool that allows connecting to a 4G Reolink camera and downloading pictures and/or videos?

Maybe an in-house debug tool?

No?
Oh well, that's a shame.

@markjustmark_989272468070601 How big is the file? Unfortunately from the client you can download them. No API access to do this.

What is the upload speed at the camera location? Could be that the mobile data uplink speed is low.

@joseph_1979
Photo size is set to highest resolution - downloaded files are about 1.5MB each.

Upload speed - I'll need to measure it to get actual mbps numbers - The app says there are 4 bars of 4G.

It's a shame there is no API - then it wouldn't matter how slow the link was - the computer could just deal with the downloads in the background...

edit :

Just timed downloading a new day's worth of time lapses.
168 photos (14 hours x 12 photos per hour)
248 MB total
download time (not counting thumbnail download or photo selection time) = 4 min 13 sec = 253 seconds
average data rate = 248 / 253 = 0.98 MB / s
not mega fast.

@markjustmark_989272468070601 Indeed for today it is rather super slow. I get 0.7MBps from Argus 3 Pro. But from POE I get over 10MBps.

I still suggest you to email support on support @ reolink . com and request file download through API. The more requests they get on a specific function the more we see it implemented.
