Learn how to access your Reolink cameras, NVRs, and Home Hub locally through web browsers. This guide covers the necessary steps for seamless viewing and management of your devices.
Web Compatibility
Reolink devices can be accessed via Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox. The Safari browser on iOS does not support the FLV protocol, so you cannot preview the camera using Safari, however, the camera's settings interface is still accessible.
Web Browser Supported Models

For example, if my camera is an E1 Pro, the table indicates "Must connect to Reolink Home Hub or Reolink NVR," meaning it cannot be accessed via a web browser when used standalone due to hardware limitations. However, if I have a Reolink NVR or Home Hub, I can connect the camera to NVR/Home Hub , access the camera via web browser using the IP addresses of the NVR or Home Hub.

Access Reolink Device via Web Browser Locally
Part 1: Check Port Settings
Web access requires the HTTP/HTTPS ports to be open.
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.
Reolink Client: go to Device Settings > Network > Advanced > Server settings to open relevant ports for the device. After opening the ports, do not forget to Save your configurations.
Note: How to Configure Reolink Ports Settings provides detailed steps for opening ports in various software, including the monitor connected to Reolink NVR. Additionally, if you do not see the port settings, please refer to the same article for further confirmation.
Part 2: Access the Camera via IP in a Web Browser
Step 1. Follow How to Check Network Status of Reolink Cameras/NVRs to check the IP address of your device.
- If you reboot your router or your device has been offline for too long, the IP address of your device may change and the port that you forward may become invalid. To avoid the problem, you may assign a static IP address for your device or use Dynamic DNS to access your device.
- For NVR users, the IP address assigned to the camera connected to the NVR starts with 172. This is the IP address allocated by the NVR to the camera. To access the camera via web browser, you need to use the NVR's own IP address, which can be found under NVR's Settings > Network > Network Status.
Step 2. Input the IP address of your device in the address bar of the browser, input the username and password of your device, then click Login to live view your device.
- By default, username is admin.
- Password is the one created when you initially set up the Reolink device. Check What Should I Do If I Forget the Password to Log in to Cameras/NVRs/Home Hub if you forget the device's password.
You can now successfully preview the camera and control it through the web browser.
