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?

@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).

Have you checked manually for new firmware? The on-device "check for new firmware" for some reason does not always have the actual latest.

Does this support AI motion events? I'm trying to get these into Home Assistant, and the existing integrations don't work well. I'm wondering if an intermediary might make it easier.

@reolink-lorenz Any news on webhooks or mqtt? Existing Home Assistant integrations don't work well.

@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!

@reolink-fiona Any news on webhooks or MQTT?

On Android, this update still has the same problem I've had for while — can't connect to my NVR either for live or playback on cellular but works fine on wifi. Even 5G doesn't work, while some random low-quality public wifi is fine.

Hardware decoding setting so doesn't matter. Same problem on my wife's phone and mine. It briefly worked last year, but then some update broken it.

Ugh...yeah — half the reason I bought then NVR was to avoid buying a PoE switch. I expected an integrated solution that just worked.

Theres only 1 catch, you can not set them up using the NVR. the NVR only refreshes all at data when the camera in channel 1 detects movement. You need to set the cameras directly to the LAN using POE to them

Wait, how are you doing this? Doesn't the NVR act as a gateway for its own private net, with no direct access to the cameras? Can it be configured to allow direct connection instead? Can they be configured that way and still record to the NVR?

That seems like it would simplify things, at least until the webhooks and everything get straightened out.
