4. Directly Connect the Camera to the LAN Port of the Home Hub Pro

Unlike the Home Hub, the Home Hub Pro has a LAN port that allows you to directly connect a camera or connect it through a switch via network cable. Below are the basic operational steps.

Notes:

1. The LAN port does not provide power, an external power supply is needed for power.

2. If you have reset the camera but it still shows a password error, you should make sure that this camera has been removed from the Home Hub Pro and try to reset again. This article will guide you on how to remove the camera from the Home Hub Pro: How to Change Camera Order/Remove Device from Reolink Home Hub

  • Adding Reolink New Cameras to Home Hub Pro

    If the new camera or reset camera is directly connected via the LAN port, you can preview the feed on the App/Client without any additional steps to add the camera.

  • Adding Existing Reolink Cameras to Home Hub Pro

    Step 1. After plugging the network cable into the LAN port of Home Hub Pro, you'll find that the camera can no longer be used standalone. At the same time, the camera shows up on the Home Hub Pro and displays a password error, tap the camera with "incorrect password".
