Hi all,

Today I would like to introduce the Account & Pa*sword Setting and answer the FAQ for you. You can just read one article to know about all the setting info about the account & pa*sword!

Account

What Are the Camera Account Types and Their Permissions?

Camera account is used to log in and access your camera. There are three camera account types with different permissions.

Admin(default): manage all the settings and the admin/user account
Admin(Added by the default Administrator): manage all the settings and the user accounts
Users: Preview, playback, and change its own pa*sword

The battery cameras only have the default admin account.

How Many Accounts Can You Add?

Besides the default admin account, the NVR, PoE, and Wifi wired cameras can also add extra 19 other accounts.

How to Add the Camera Account?

APP: Device Settings > Advanced > User Management > admin > Add User/Admin
Client: Setting->System->User management->Add user

If you would like to delete the user, you can just click the user name and then you can delete it.

We recommend enabling the Illegal Login Lockout setting on the user management page. If someone fails to input the correct pa*sword within 3 mins, the account will be temporarily locked for a few minutes. This can make your account safer.

How to Share the Camera?

If you would like to share the camera, you need to tell others the UID of the camera. The camera account and pa*sword are just for login.

Another method is to use the Share Camera feature to share the QR Code with your friend/families in the APP. They just need to scan the QR code and then input the account and pa*sword. You can choose to share the admin/user account with them.

Settings->Share the Camera->Share the code->Click the “＋” on the display page to scan the code

Maximum Online Users Number

There is no limit to the number of phones that you add the camera to. You can add as many phones as you like. About sharing the camera, you just need to know the maximum online user number at the same time. You can refer to the below table.

How to Check the Online Users?

You can view the online users on the Client. Check the IP address under the admin/user account. (Only Client available now.)
Setting->System->User management

Reolink Account and Camera Account

FAQ:

When I log in to the Reolink account on the APP on another phone, why are the cameras not there?
The camera will not bind with the Reolink account. You need to re-add the camera to the app using the UID/IP address/Domain or scanning in LAN. This can guarantee the account and camera safety.
