Introduction to Pinpoint Feature on Reolink Cameras

What is the Pinpoint on Reolink Cameras

Pinpoint is a smart positioning feature that allows users to quickly locate a specific area within the wide-angle view. Pinpoint works by linking the wide-angle view with the pan-tilt feature. By simply tapping or clicking on a desired spot in the wide-angle view on the software, the pan-tilt camera will automatically move to that position for precise monitoring, without the need for manual PT control adjustments. The core advantage of the Pinpoint function is its simplicity and accuracy.

How to Use Pinpoint on Reolink Cameras

This feature is available on the Reolink App and Reolink NVR (monitor connected); it is not available on the Reolink Client or web interface now. Before using the Pinpoint, ensure your Reolink App is updated to the latest version(version 4.60 or later). 

• Via Reolink App

  Step 1. Log in to your device on the Reolink App and then tap the camera to enter the live view page.

  

  Step 2. Tap Pinpoint to activate the feature in the live view page. Then tap “I Got It” after reading the on-screen instructions to continue.

   

  Step 3. A yellow frame will appear on the wide-angle view. Tap any location within this view, and the pan-tilt camera will rotate to the selected area, giving you a clearer and more detailed view.

  

• Via Reolink NVR (Monitor Connected)

  Step 1. Connect a TV/monitor to the NVR via an HDMI/VGA cable.

  

  Step 2. Set it up on the NVR monitor after adding the camera to the NVR only. Click Pinpoint to activate the feature. Then, suggest clicking Start Calibration to accurately map the field of view — the camera will automatically rotate once. (If calibration has already been completed, click Already Calibrated to continue.)

  

  Step 3. After calibration, a yellow frame will appear on the wide-angle view. Click any location within this view, and the pan-tilt camera will move to the corresponding area. You will then see a closer and more detailed view of the selected region, allowing you to capture finer details more clearly.
