Reverse engineering Reolink cameras for custom scenes and modes with Home Automation

cyris

It was recommended by Reolink social that I post here. I wanted to document how I reversed engineered Reolink cameras, creating custom modes to use in Home Automation based on my location. Hope you enjoy

The Reolink app allows you to create “scenes” or modes to set a “Home” or “Away” profile, turning on/off motion alert notifications.
However when using an NVR you only have the option to set it for all cameras, not camera specific.

Here's my solution to this problem - https://cyris.io/blog/reverse-engineer-reolink
