How to Enable and disable recording on my Reolink cameras using HTML or PHP?

[user_660739089141819_660739089141819]

Hello, I would like to enable and disable recording/monitoring on my Reolink cameras using HTML or PHP. The Reolink command overview (Java) doesn't help me.
Has anyone already implemented this function and could help me?

Thanks, Thomas

@user_660739089141819_660739089141819 You can use the curl command from your Windows CMD prompt.

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\":\"SetRecV20\",\"action\":0,\"param\":{\"Rec\":{\"channel\":0,\"enable\":VALUE}}}]" "https://#IP_OF_CAMERA#/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

Replace VALUE by 0 to disable and 1 to enable, IP_OF_CAMERA the IP of the camera and the credentials.

It appears that Reolink cameras do not have a direct API for enabling and disabling recording via HTML or PHP. However, you can enable or disable recording on Reolink cameras using the Reolink App or Client. UPSers Login

I just want to tell you that You can enable and disable recording on Reolink cameras using Reolink's API, which supports HTTP requests to control the cameras. You can use a combination of HTML and PHP to send HTTP requests to the camera's API to control recording.
And here's an example of how you can enable recording on a Reolink camera using PHP:

<?php

$url = "http://[camera_ip]/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=snap&action=stop";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;

?>
<?php

$url = "http://[camera_ip]/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=snap&action=start";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;

?>

Note that you need to replace [camera_ip] with the IP address of your Reolink camera. Additionally, you may need to consult the Reolink API documentation for more information on the available commands and their parameters.
