QNAP can be used for storing recordings of Reolink cameras. You may follow the steps below to add Reolink cameras to QNAP.

Before getting started, login to your device on the Reolink App/Client to open the relevant ports.

Reolink App: go to Device Settings > Network > Advanced to open relevant ports for the device.

You can add the camera to QNAP by QVR Pro.

Step 2. Enter the username and password, and click Test, if you see the tick icon, it means the configuration is correct, then click Next. Now, you have successfully added the camera to QNAP.

If your camera is Duo WiFi/PoE, please add the camera to QNAP Pro twice via Reolink Protocol.

Choose Reolink for Camera Brand and Duo WiFi/PoE(CH1) for Camera Model, enter the camera name, IP address, username, password, and port number, click Next, and then configure again with the same settings, just pay attention to select Duo WiFi/PoE(CH2) this time.
