Third Party SSL Cert on Reolink Camera

[rob_701906869137584]

On the RLC-410W, I was able to upload a certificate as follows.

Connect to the camera's web interface.

Navigate to: Settings / Network Settings / Advanced / HTTPS Settings / Set Up

This will display two file fields: Certificate and Keyfile.

The certificate should be a PEM, Base 64 text file containing the public certificate. The filename must end in ".crt"

The keyfile should be a PEM, Base 64 text file containing the private key. The filename must end in ".key"

You will need a Certification Authority of some sort and might need to convert the files. For example, the Windows certificates manager will not export a private key to the needed format, but OpenSSL can do it.

After successfully uploading the files, close the browser tab to reset the connection.

Hello, is it possible to load a certificate chain (root CA, intermediate CA and camera public certificate in one PEM file) into the camera so that only the root CA is required on the PC or NAS?
Otherwise the intermediate CA would also have to be imported on all systems, where currently only the root CA is required.
Almost every device or web server now offers the option of importing the chain as a PEM file.
Many thanks in advance for the information.

@user_714023666557100_714023666557100 You cannot import any PEM file. Reolink cams use self signed certificate.

I have a Reolink PoE Video Doorbell Camera with v3.0.0.2033_23041302 firmware.

Settings/Network/Advanced/HTTPS Settings allows for import of a PEM certificate and Key file. The certificate file needs to have a full chain to the trusted root. I have a Let’s Encrypt certificate for my domain. I have imported a PEM file with both my domain certificate and the R3 intermediate certificate. I can now access the Reolink via HTTPS using Chrome with no errors.

@amg-a35_715936180670707Yes there you can load the cert and key files. By default Reolink cams come with a self signed certificate and this shall suffice for most applications.

Hello, I have the same problem. When downloading my certificate and key, it takes forever, and no messsage. Could reolink update the interface to accept these certificates ? thanks !

I know this is an old post but since I found it during searching for more info on SSL I thought maybe others would find my script to renew certificates using the API interesting.

@user_783763327668419_783763327668419 Thank you so much for this !

I am trying to run your script to upload let's encrypt certificates. Do I need to convert them to a different format? I assume that your script also works for other reolink cameras (I have the 811A).

@user_797938908946587_797938908946587 You need the certificate file with extension .crt and the key file with extension .key. You need to use OpenSSL to generate them.
