Stupid-ass Reolink camera thinking a non-moving shadow cast from a tree is an animal.

That’s with animal sensitivity down to mid (66%) and a 1s alarm delay (meaning it has to be in motion for > 1s to trigger).

Just absolute garbage motion detection “AI”.

Hate these goddamn cameras.

Reolink m’a fait quelques cadeaux pour leur 16ème anniversaire !
Un sac, le classique. Un pin et un magnifique frisbee !

Les caméras, c’était pour les vidéos en partenariat avec Reolink, d’ailleurs je vais les installer très prochainement chez un proche.

I'm hesitant to give Reolink anymore of my money given how much I kinda hate them (lol)... *but*, if I were to buy a Home Hub then I could get the rest of my cameras (battery cams) into Home Assistant alongside my PoE cameras. It's tempting.

Didn't know #reolink added sound levels to the @homeassistant entities and sensors. It's lowkey my favorite data point to track.

And around 4:30-5:00 the birds wake up and start chirping every morning. 😃 🐦

A non-moving vehicle should *not* trigger “motion detection”, for f*cks sake Reolink! Garbage. Oh it’s windy, leaves, blah blah blah. #Reolink

Just set up an automation so that if one of my Reolink PoE cameras detects a person after dark, it will turn on the floodlight for all of the cameras — not just the one that triggered.

You’d think something like this would be possible directly with Reolink, but it’s not. Thanks, Home Assistant!

#HomeAssistant #Reolink #SmartHome #HomeAutomation

Y'all why are the #Reolink cameras so much cheaper than #Unifi cameras? Would really love to play around with the Reolink cameras, especially as it relates to #HomeAssistant integration.

I emailed Reolink support.

I pre-answered all the questions I *knew* they were going to ask.

Extremely thorough email, with exact replication steps, troubleshooting I’d already tried, device and app versions, everything.

They finally reply, 3 days later… and ask the exact questions I’d already answered.

Clearly didn’t read my email *at all*.

Asked me to do x, y, z troubleshooting steps — which I already said I did in my original email.

Knew I shouldn’t have bothered.

#Reolink

There’s a card that gives me access to recordings, and it does work to play them back- but it acts a bit wonky. I need to spend some more time figuring that one out.

I wanna add some automations, like when one camera triggers have it flip the light of another camera on (at night only). Things like this are not at all possible with Reolink directly.

I’m sure there’s more I’ll want to add… and I do need to clean up my dashboards/pages a bit.

But so far so good!

I have push notifications working with photo snapshot — something Reolink doesn’t even support.

I set up a single page dashboard, with has my 3 PoE cameras and the doorbell on it. It gives me the latest snapshot from each camera.

Each camera on the dashboard includes buttons for the light, siren, and indication for if notifications are turned on for that camera.

Clicking on a camera takes you to that cameras page which starts the live video stream.

So, it’s going to take a fair bit more time to get everything set up like I want… but the Reolink integration for Home Assistant might just let me (eventually) ditch Reolink’s shitty app altogether.

Right now it only works with my PoE cameras and my hardwired video doorbell, but if I purchased a Reolink Home Hub I could integrate my battery cameras too.

Going to start exploring the Reolink integration for Home Assistant today since the iOS app is borked for me now.

Problem is I will only be able to use it with some of my camera (the PoE ones), as I don't use their “home hub" for my battery cameras.

But, would be better than nothing for notifications and live viewing — if it works well. We'll see.

So now I am wondering which #Reolink to get next...

So I figured that #reolink is very well supported by #homeassistant and got a E1 Pro refurbished directly from Reolink for ~30 € (remember, I do not have ethernet or wifi there, so no POE and all the "better" reolinks with guaranteed ethernet port come without power adapter and I thought I'd save on the POE injector)... only to find out that I misread the info and #homeassistant integration supports only a certain HARDWARE version, not FIRMWARE 😅

Ugn #Reolink Cams when using TLS on port 465 try to use the RFC PIPELINE extension, which my mail server does not support. Using port 587 instead works as expected.
