The problem

Hi,
Whatever I do just can't add my Reolink Doorbell POE camera to Home assistant.

My camera is accessible from Reolink mobile, desktop and web client but can not be connected to home assistant!

Have all the ports open. Refer to the photos attached!

Can you please advice what is the process or the fix.

Thank you

Abhi

I am also having what appears to be the same issue setting up a ReoLink Argus Track camera (solar powered / wifi). I do make sure I wake the camera before logging in to the integration with the correct name / pwd.

[starkillerOG]

@jonnparkertx The Reolink Argus Track is a battery camera and therefore you will need a Reolink Home Hub or NVR to integrate it into HomeAssistant using the Reolink integration, please see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/reolink/#tested-battery-powered-models

@abhishekbanik the PoE doorbell hower should function

[starkillerOG]

@abhishekbanik strange you are having these issues, do you have seperate VLANs or any other restrictions on your LAN?
So if you go to the IP 192.168.178.32 in a browser on a PC you are able to login to the NVR?
What is the local IP-adress of the PC which can reach the NVR? (Is it also 192.168.178.xxx)?
What is the local IP-adress of the HomeAssistant device? (Is it also 192.168.178.xxx)?

Could you enable debug logging of the reolink integration and then try to set it up again?
See https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/logger/:

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.reolink: debug

HiThey are all on the same VLAN, HA is 192.168.178.106 and Reolink is 192.168.178.32.I will enable debug logging when I get home. The Reolink doorbell camera is connected via POE switch. I do not have an NVR, I can reach the camera from my laptops, Raspberry pis and mobile and web clients, no problem!Sent from my iPhoneOn 2 Jan 2025, at 16:58, starkillerOG ***@***.***> wrote: @abhishekbanik strange you are having these issues, do you have seperate VLANs or any other restrictions on your LAN?

Hi I tried the logger, but dosent seem to be logging anything for the Reolink integration. I also seem to have a constant battle with Smartlife custom component being failing all the time! My locks are full with that!

[starkillerOG]

Did you restart HomeAssistant after changing the configuration.yaml?

And then tried to add the reolink integration?

[abhishekbanik]

Yes, few times
