      Are there any plans to open up port 22 access for ssh/sftp/scp?
      I see that there is an option to set up an ftp client on the NVR to copy to an ftp server but I would rather there be a more secure method, like ssh, to get access to the NVR so that I can secure copy files (scp or rsync) from the NVR to a different storage device (NAS, Linux file server, etc.).
      If there is a way to make a feature request, this is something I would like to request.

        Sorry to tell you that our NVR cannot support SFTP now.
        We really appreciate your suggestion, we will forward to our R&D team. They'll see whether we receive similar feedback and put it into the schedule. It will take time to evaluate the request and to implement it.

            That's unfortunate. Hopefully, you will open port 22 for ssh in the near future as that is a more secure access.

                    +1 for adding support SFTP (Secure Shell File Transfer Protocol) on port 22.

                    This is a very common protocol used worldwide.

                    Even if this was available in the NVRs to start.

                    Thanks

                      Any update on this? I currently have my NVR connected to a UPS/Raspberry Pi setup and planning to implement some security measures but currently blocked because of this

                        +1 for this feature. I would love to be able to ssh into my NVR and execute a shut down script. This would be helpful when running on UPS battery.

                            Nobody uses FTP these days. Please update your firmware to support SFTP over ssh.

                              @bendavis78_717054647451814 I agree. FTPS is history now :). Hopefully they will upgrade to SFTP.

                              Ah, I missed this topic before I ordered my Reolink Duo 2 WiFi very recently 19MAR24 : (.

                              Looks like Relink not ready to implement SFTP request as I can see the request started from 2021, very bad. : (

                              Anyways, let's stay tuned because nowadays most of the hosting providers support only SFTP.

                                  +1 for SSH, FTP, SFTP.

                                  We need to backup our NVR - RLN36 has NO access to it, no FTP capability!

                                  This has been getting "we'll think about it" (meaning we won't) for years.

                                  If an RLN36 gets stolen or destroyed, all the videos are gone! Reolink, you need to finally enable your NVR to integrate with at least technologies that have been around for decades, so your paying customers can protect their recordings.

                                  Really beginning to regret my investment in Reolink (multiple NVRs and cameras now) when I read posts like this.
