Reolink Fiona

Hi all,

You may need to download the videos regularly to back up the important videos. Today I would like to share all the latest guides and tips for the APP/Client/NVR/Cloud video download.

If your Client/APP UI is not the same, please try to upgrade your APP/Client to the latest version. Download center: Download Center – Reolink.

How to download videos from the APP?

Step 1. Go to the Playback page and select the videos
Tips: To choose the videos faster, you can use AI filter to choose different types(any motions, person, vehicle, and pet) of videos to better filter the videos.

Step 2(Optional). Set the stream mode. By default, the stream mode is low(fluent). If you want to download the videos in clear mode, you can choose the stream mode to high(clear).

Step 3. Cut and download the video
Note: Now we can only download the 120s video on the APP. If you want to download larger videos, you can use our PC Client or NVR to download.

How to download the videos from the Client?

In the beginning, you may need to filter the videos by choosing the date, time, and motion types(person/vehicle/pet/any motions). Then you can directly download the videos or download them after cutting the videos.

1. Download directly - Choose the download button
--Choose the date on the playback page

--Click the download button and then select the videos by time/AI filter.

--Download certain or all videos

2. Cut the video and then download
When you see an important video and want to back it up, you can cut the video and then download it.
--Select the videos by rolling the timeline and putting the mouse on a specific time.

--Click the “cut” button and choose the start and last time of the video.

--Click the download button and then you can download it directly.

Tips: You can click the down arrow beside the camera name and then you can view the thumbnail display of the videos. (Only available for the standalone camera because the NVR camera’s video image thumbnail can’t be pulled out now.)

How to download the videos from the NVR?

To download the videos from the NVR, you need to plug in a USB Flash Drive first.
There are also two ways to back up the videos from the NVR, directly download or cut to download.

1. Backup the videos directly
--Click the Backup icon(card icon) on the home page.

--Choose the videos by selecting the camera/time/recording type

--Choose the videos and download

2. Cut the videos and then download

--Click the cutting scissor button on the home page and drag the red slider to select the part you want.

--Choose the USB and video format
If you want to have the MP4 video, you can check the box(Back Up MP4 Files).

--Choose the videos and start to back up them
