An update a few months ago dangled the possibility of cameras (and, hopefully, NVRs!) getting the ability to make an HTTPS (that is, web) request to a custom URL when an AI event triggers.

This would be incredibly useful for my home automation. Is there any news on this?

@reolink-fiona All of the PoE cameras look interesting to me, but I'm not expanding my system until I can get it working properly with Home Assistant. There is a new integration, but it is not working well with my NVR, and there seem to be some serious limitations. I'd really love to see camera AI event webhooks -- and even better, direct mqtt support!

@reolinkshayla

What happened to the possibility of webhook support?

Not only are there no updates, but — the blatant spam reply didn't get removed. I guess Reolink doesn't care about this forum (let alone features).

@reolink-fiona Any news on webhooks or MQTT?

@joseph_1979 Thank you! Please keep asking for us!

1. Webhooks for AI detection -- apparently the new wifi doorbell firmware has this, which is a good sign!
2. MQTT? That would be amazing.
3. MQTT with direct integration with Home Assistant... perfection!
4. scp or https uploads, not just ftp (a really annoying protocol to work with across firewalls!)
5. All features of the client (and the NVR ui) in the web interface.

Can you explain what "standalone use" means? Is this whether you're using it with an NVR?

I would like the option for smart detection (and clear) to trigger a webhook.

That webhook could carry a JSON payload with the various unique information -- whatever you choose to make available.

@joseph_1979 Can you also remove the spam posts above?

@joseph_1979 Thank you! Please keep asking for us!

Any word on webhooks in the firmware? I can't get onvif to work reliably for some reason, and FTP and email are very 1990s.

@reolinkshayla

Any news on firmware improvements? It'd be nice to have webhook for AI detection, and amazing to have mqtt.

I've never gotten the Home Assistant integration working well, and am thinking of switching brands entirely.

@reolinkshayla
What is the integration with Home Assistant like?
