      I'd like to type my ip address in a browser and be able to view the image.

      Is there a string of commands that will enable me to do this?

      I had it working for a few hours using a string but now I can't duplicate it.

      Thank you

        http://192.168.1.107/cgi-bin/snap.cgi?user=admin&password=xxxxxx

        This was the string that worked for a little while but has now stopped working.

            After upgraded the firmware, pls use below URL to get the snapshot:
            http://(ip address)/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=(any combination of numbers and letters)&user=(user name)&password=(user password)

            For example,
            the IP address of the camera is 192.168.2.119
            the user name is admin, with the password of 123456
            the URL for capturing images would be: http://192.168.2.119/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=admin&password=123456

            Note: Pls replace the ()part to be your camera info.
            Every time you refresh the website it will snap a new picture.

            For more info about CGI file, pls contact us by support@reolink.com

              Thanks! That works for a snap shot but what about a streaming video?

                Dear Gary,

                For the stream URL,pls refer to below info:
                rtmp://(ip address)/bcs/channel0_(stream type).bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=(user name)&password=(user password)

                Pls replace the () part to be your own camera info.

                For example:
                rtmp://192.168.2.119/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=admin&password=123456
                rtmp://192.168.2.119/bcs/channel0_sub.bcs?channel=0&stream=1&user=admin&password=123456
                rtmp://192.168.2.119/bcs/channel0_ext.bcs?channel=0&stream=2&user=admin&password=123456

                    I didn't follow. Where would I get the channel information? and stream type info?

                      I can't get rtmp to work. Used this info and can't open the web page in any browser or VLC. RSTP works in VLC but not rtmp link.

                        Dear Gary,

                        The channel info and steam type is fixed. You need only replace the "( )" part info.

                            Thank you. I got it except for the part below that says (stream type)? That is in () but I'm not sure what to place in there?

                              Dear Gary,
                              Stream type refer to the main, sub or ext.

                              e.i.
                              rtmp://192.168.2.119/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=admin&password=123456
                              rtmp://192.168.2.119/bcs/channel0_sub.bcs?channel=0&stream=1&user=admin&password=123456
                              rtmp://192.168.2.119/bcs/channel0_ext.bcs?channel=0&stream=2&user=admin&password=123456

                              you need to replace the whole ().

                              and one more question I had was: If I want to be able to access this camera outside my own wifi what commands do I use? I know I replace the 192.168.1.1 ip with the external ip but what about the rest?

                                  In the command, you need to replace the IP as the external IP. And you need to add the port number you have set up port forwarding in your router.

                                  pls refer to below info:
                                  http://(ip address:forwarding port number)/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=(any combination of numbers and letters)&user=(user name)&password=(user password)

                                  i.e.
                                  the external IP address is 192.168.2.119
                                  the number of port forwarding for the IP camera is 85
                                  the user name is admin, with the password of 123456
                                  the URL for capturing images would be: http://192.168.2.119:85/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=admin&password=123456

                                      Unfortunately, this is no longer working.


                                      Could you please specify on what is not working? Are all the commands not working or just some of them?

                                      I get 502 bad gateway error using my internal ip code of 192.168.1.107 and I have never been able to access it outside my house even though I have open ports.

                                      I use your iphone app and it uses a UID code to log me in and I can do that remotely just fine.

                                      Is there a way to use this UID code to open a browser outside my home?

                                        OK, when I open your program on my desktop and on the same network as my camera in the Network/Advanced section it gives me the following ports:

                                        9000 media
                                        80 http
                                        554 rtsp
                                        443 https
                                        8000 onvif

                                        Which port would I open to view the camera remotely and please give me instructions to do this?

                                            Hi Gray Price.
                                            Please set the port(number 1935 and 80) forwarding. Because the port is working for RTMP.

                                            Can I do a teamviewer with you? Both those ports are open for this camera. I can view it in a browser on my home network now with my local ip address so I know the camera is working but it's just not getting to the outside world.

                                            Or can I privately give you my ip address to check?

                                                  Hi, we have tested the command
                                                  http://119.139.XXX.XXX:81/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=admin&password=111111
                                                  is OK.
                                                  Please check the port forward on your router, refer to port forward.
                                                  And if you need a team viewer, please contact to support04@reolink.com.

                                                      Hi, you needn't change it. the http port in the Reolink Client should be the same as the port you set in your router.
                                                      Also, you can send your Network advance settings, router port forward setting and your WAN IP address to support04@reolink.com.
                                                      We will check it for you.
