Hi every one, looking to buy a POE CAM running linux....simply,.... without one million settings, visibly not the case for reolink! For adventures i found these two links (i've not tested these links yet, gladys assistant seems to be efficient in its latest version):

Request for reolink: a linux client should be a good thing with an .AppImage for example \0/

Reolink has been ignoring requests for a linux client for years now. It's ok though in the long run as the software is buggy crap anyhow so it's really no loss. I am now using these cameras with https://shinobi.video/ running on a rasberry PI. It's not the best solution but it gives me a functional NVR and security monitoring station. Reolink makes decent hardware but the software support is lame, and doesn't seem to be getting any better.

What really surprises me about reolinks stance on linux is the appliance NVR they sell runs linux under the hood so they have software, They simply will not release it.

I just purchased and installed a set of 4 RLC-420's. Wine has made leaps and bounds of improvements recently so I decided to give it a shot with the Reolink Surveillance software. The software starts and runs well. It finds my cameras on the local network segment and logs into them. I can manage all aspects of the cameras through the more than adequate device settings menu. I even updated the firmware successfully on all 4 cameras. The only thing that is broken for me is the ability to see what the cameras sees. Nice work. Great software. And I would bet that if you put even a little time into it you could get your software running against wine smoothly. Or, even better, write a native GNU/linux client.

Now I know that seems crazy and all seeing as the linux user base seems very small. But if you look at it from a purely security perspective, then running your NVR on a platform not known for network security best practices might look a little crazy too. In fact When I look at the specs of your RLN8-410, I notice that it's running on embedded Linux OS. So why no native client for the linux desktop users?
