However everytime the camera was supposed to upload a video a text file was created so the connection works. I suppose this is because I only used the test-trial of the website and didn't pay anything yet. But when I connected to it with FileZilla I saw that there are only text files instead of the camera videos. After creating the account there and typing in the new settings like ftp server address, username, password and so on I got the message 'Login sucessful'. In order to eliminate the possibility that my Raspberry FTP server is the problem I created an account on which is an online ftp service specially for camera ftp-uploads. However when I typed in the same settings into the Reolink Client I got an error message when pressing 'FTP-Test'. Other than getting disconnected when not doing anything for a while it worked fine. Using FileZilla I connected to the FTP server and moved some files back and forth to test it. I only want to connect to it in my local network so that should be fine. I installed ProFTPD as described but left out the last step which was to make it accessible over the internet.

I followed this tutotial on how to set up an FTP server using the raspberry (I am sorry it is written in german). Since this didn't work neither I installed Raspbian again and tried a different approach. See the mail from the Reolink support here Solution Trial 4 (Use Raspberry as FTP server) Here is the RSTP-URL: rtsp://(user address):554//h264Preview_01_main. When I tried to stream the video using VLC-Player I only received audio from the camera, the screen was black. Solution Trial 3 (Utilize RSTP stream from camera)Īs the camera supports RSTP I asked the support for the RSTP-URL. The guy in the tutorial uses a USB webcam but I didn't find any tutorials with IP cameras. I followed a tutorial but got stuck where I had to add my IP camera to the motioneye software.

Next try was to install the motioneye-OS on my Raspberry which is a special OS build for camera surveillance.

Neither is there 3d-party software that works (or at least I didn't get it to work). However I realized that the Reolink Client is not available for Raspbian/Linux. Solution Trial 1 (ONVIF Software on Raspberry) I never worked with a Raspberry before but eventually I installed Raspian on it (Pi 3B+) and connected it to my network. Since I don't want my laptop running 24/7 I had the idea to use a Raspberry Pi instead. Using the 'Reolink Client' I was able to set up motion-detection and stream+record video onto my laptop. I gave it a static IP in the same subnet as my routerĪfter I connected the camera to my router I was able to access it via its webinterface and via the 'Reolink Client' on my Windows Laptop that is connected to the same network.It supports HTTPS, SSL, TCP/IP, RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) DHCP, FTP, ONVIF and some more.I want to set up a small home surveillance system that records video to a hard drive if it detects motion. I have been trying for two weeks to solve this problem and now I am quite desperate.
