Reolink Camera API User Guide_V7 (Update in Sept 2022)

[Reolink Fiona]

Hi all，
 
We know that the demand for home automation is vast. Our goal is to develop a Reolink ecosystem that incorporates home automation in the long run.
 
We provide you with the camera API user guide, and we also would like to know about your project! Please feel free to tell us where you plan to use them. Let us hear your ideas
 
Link to the latest Reolink Camera API User Guide: https://bit.ly/3xY56Uq.
 
This guide contains instructions on how to use and integrate the API effectively. This is also a simple and straightforward reference manual. It has all the information needed to use the API and detailed information about functions, return types, parameters, etc. It also provides tutorials and sample support.
 
What‘s New

1. Improve the description of the example
2. Add the description of video preview
3. Delete the abandoned command (rtmp start/rtmp stop/rtmp auth)
4. Add the version field to the login command
5. Add GetSysCfg/SetSysCfg/GetStitch/SetStitch commands
6. ISP adds multi-level frame drop and soft light sensitivity
7. NVR cut and download video file optional stream type
8. Increase the ptz guard parameter
9. Increase the white light setting parameters
10. Add description for ftp command
11. Improve the capability set
12. Improve the error code

 
Hooray! Here also comes the good news. Many users have requested Webhook support for AI detection of third-party integration. Our tech team is working on this project. If you have any requests, please share them with us to make our work better.

@reolink-fiona Will the webhooks be available for doorbells and trackmix cameras? Great news btw!

[ExTrEmE_590650728796222]

@reolink-fiona I'm looking with interest the new doorbell, but webhooks will be available in doorbell too?
It's mandatory for me to get a doorbell that can be integrated with home assistant!

[jay_tuckey]

@reolink-fiona It's good to hear you are developing webhooks support!

I'm also very keen to look at using the webhooks with Home Assistant as that's how I manage all my IOT smart devices, so it would be good if that could be a primary test target.

Do you know if the webhooks will come to the Duo v1?

We will have a beta version of webhook these two months.

We will apply the webhook for some specific models first. Then we will apply it to more new models.

You can stay tuned for our announcement if you are willing to test.

I'm very excited to hear about the webhook work. That is going to be really useful.

I think the main thing is to be as flexible as possible with what data is sent. It might be nice to have an option to POST or PUT an entire image along with an alert -- but for other applications short and sweet would be nicer.

(It would be really nice to also implement MQTT.)

[mattdm_579588790694198]

@reolink-fiona How will the webhook work with an NVR?

[skynet01+14_512285893755085]

@extreme_590650728796222 +1 on this. I just got the doorbell today, it's great but I would love to get the door ding notification through api.

[user_627373199437913_627373199437913]

@reolink-fiona Webhook capability is potentially excellent, but will it be available for the 3G/4G cameras (Go PT Plus)? If not, can the API be used with those cameras given they won't have a static IP? Thanks

[aleleu62_232174521270407]

@reolink-fiona Great news about webhooks. It will be easier for people doing home automation to start scene if the camera can call a webhook. It will be interesting to implement that in the NVR to avoid me to buy a POE switch. It is easier than calling the REST api !

@reolink-fiona
Great news! Works fine with the E1 Outdoor!
Is it also applicable to battery-powered cams like the Argus 3 Pro?

@reolink-fiona When will webhooks be available?

[esthersherryworld_585790787826247]

For my usecase, the camera is installed in a remote location, and I'd like to avoid exposing ports on the camera to the internet. If the camera can include optional rich data in the webhook, I can avoid this. more reviews here

[MAWH_588865576947807]

I want to trigger the White light with an API command, just turn it on and off! I can trigger the White Light when my house alarm is triggered.

Same for the alarm/sirene.

[user_629911810629744_629911810629744]

Would be nice also to have 2-Way Audio via API if possible. Thanks!

[user_600178489868304_600178489868304]

Any chance they will implement MQTT?

[user_635300470997033_635300470997033]

Hello,

would it‘s be possible to get an output about the ‚smart detection‘ via the API?
It seems that at the moment just a motion are going over the API

Thanks
