Reolink Camera API User Guide_V8 (Updated in April 2023)

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: http://bit.ly/3nF4mB5.

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

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

Updated: We have added some privacy terms in v8. The link above is updated.

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.

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

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

hi @Reolink-Fiona, i deeply regret that in the v8 version of the API guide of April 2023, there some newer commands are still missing from some cameras :

DOORBELL

GetPowerLed > new field : eDoorbellLightState
GetAudioFileList
SetAudioFileList
GetAutoReply
SetAutoReply
DeleteAudioFile

from newer Doorbell firmware ( v3.0.0.1859 ) :

GetEvents

TRACKMIX

GetAiCfg > new fields (bSmartTrack, aiStopBackTime, aiDisappearBackTime and trackTask)
GetAiDenoise
SetAiDenoise
ExportImg
ImportImg
DeleteImg
GetPtzTraceSection
SetPtzTraceSection
GetPtzCurPos

RLC-823A_16X :

Get3DPos
Set3DPos

Can we have a new update of the guide with these commands.
Thanks in advance
Regards

EDIT : add new commands

GetAudioCfg > new field (visitorLoudspeaker) -for Doorbell-
ExportAudioFile
GetFishEye
SetFishEye

FYI, i contribute (aka mnpg or mnpg_fr -on reddit-) in the development of the Reolink plugin, with jezza34000 -his author-, for the french home automation called Jeedom. This plugin is free and right now -april 2023-, we have more than 800 installs. i bring my modest contribution to starkillerOG for the official Reolink HA plugin and also i have a github repo, as mnpg, that contains official documentations and unofficial detailled documentations of the reolink cameras for sharing my knowledge with other reolinkers since 2020.
