I'm trying to add an Argus 2 camera to my Reolink Client (V7.2.2.33) running on Windows 10 64-bit. For as far as I can see, the camera is at the latest firmware. Both my Windows 10 pc and my camera are on the 192.168.0.0 network. My firewall is off. Using the Reolink Client on Windows 10, when I press the 'Scan Device in LAN' b**ton, no devices appear.Browsing to the IP address does not bring me to a webinterface. I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.I *am* able to use my cam from the Reolink Android App. What could be wrong here?device_info.jpgnetwork_info.jpgfirewall_is_off.pngipconfig_output.pngno_devices_found.png
Hi Bart, please use UID to access the Argus 2, since the Reolink battery-powered camera can only be accessed via UID, as to where you find the UID, you may refer to https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006916814-Share-Your-Configured-Cameras-NVRs-with-Others-Other-Phones-
Hello Cynthia, I have tried using the UID, but still no luck. To find the UID, I simply look at the Device Info on my mobile phone app, because using that app, I *can* connect with the Reolink Argus 2 device.Although I can't remember having changed the admin pa*sword for the device, I'm currently using 'admin' and an empty pa*sword field. Maybe that's the problem? If 'yes', how can I reset the pa*sword so at least I'm sure I'm trying with the correct username and pa*sword?Any other things I can try or check?Add_device_using_UID_failed.png
Hi, so you forget the pa*sword and the default pa*sword (blank) can not work? Please refer to the link to reset the camera, https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003545494-Restore-via-Reolink-Appand then refer to the link to set it up again with the new pa*sword, https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007948173-How-to-Initial-Setup-for-Reolink-Battery-powered-Cameras-via-Reolink-App
Hello Cynthia,My problem is solved. This is what I did:1) Reset the camera using the procedure described at https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003545494-Restore-via-Reolink-App2) Press the Reset b**ton.3) Follow the setup procedure at https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007948173-How-to-Initial-Setup-for-Reolink-Battery-powered-Cameras-via-Reolink-App to setup the camera again, and set a new pa*sword.After that, in the Reolink Client PC application, I was NOT able to find the device using the scan functionality, but I *was* able to add the device using its UID and the pa*sword that I had just configured.In summary, my educated guess is that I was using the wrong pa*sword in my previous attempts. Note however that during my attempts, I did *not* know that that was the exact problem. Maybe the errors that people receive if they use a wrong pa*sword when adding a device could be more clear, so that they know that the pa*sword (and nothing else) is the problem?Kind regards,Bart
