Maybe (for the first step) it's easier for the developers to make the Windows-client wine-compatible. As me and others wrote, you can run the Windows-client with it, but for me i can't get no video running.

Other native Windows-software running this way, too, and it's supported by there makers, f.e. PuTTY or TeamViewer.

@carl: Ok i will do that.

@Crimp on: The goal is to run the reolink client to access/view/config multiple cameras or nvr's, maybe do shots or records, too. It's also possible to run the reolink client as a kind of survellaince server. It would be nice to get this working on linux, too.

Alternatively we could connect the cameras to motion/motioneye/motioneyeos. It's an nice open source-thing running on linux, but i miss some features like clip/zoom.

A few days ago i released a blogpost for that:

https://www.andysblog.de/reolink-ip-kamera-an-motioneye-anbinden

It's in german. Mostly you need the right url's. I tested with an rlc-420-5mp, but i have to reduce the resoltion to get this working with motion...

Hi,

i'm also interessted in an linux client or the possibility to run the windows-version with wine.
I setup an debian 9 stretch with wine from the backports (4.0.2).
Setup of reolink client went's well, i can run the client, but got no preview-video.
The clip screenshot looks like garbage, too.
See attache screenshot.
Maybe something with hardware acceleration or so.
Nothing more tested so far.

By the way: That thing with no preview-video is on virtualized Windows (tested with VirtualBox & VMware), too.

@B R:

DvrWebClient.exe is the Internet Explorer Plugin-Setup for NVRs. That thing doesn't work for me on Windows (and Linux, too). Cherry from Reolink Support let me know, that next month a new firmware will be released with support for Firefox und Chrome, without the need of an plugin.

Best regards,

Andy
