Applies to: All Reolink IP cameras except the battery-powered ones.
You may capture live images of your cameras by entering the URL into a web browser.
Note: Access via web browsers is currently not available for Reolink battery-powered cameras to save the battery life.
The URL should be:
http://(ip address)/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=(any combination of numbers and letters)&user=(user name)&password=(user password)
For example, if your IP address is 192.168.2.119, the username is admin and the password is 123456, then the URL should be:
http://192.168.2.119/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=admin&password=123456
You may refresh the website to get a new snapshot of your live image.

Does not work, it returns an error:
Access Error: Not Found
CGI program file does not exist
Hello Manuel, for now, the URL can be applied to all the Reolink camera(except battery-powered camera). If your camera can meet the demand but still failed, could you please submit a request so so that our technical group will help you to solve your problem?

Hi, is it also possible to switch Motion Detection via cgi script? What is the command?
Usecase: I want to observate my frontdoor. I want to get an email everytime someone is in front of it but only when the door is locked. My smart home system can execute cgi commands on different conditionsl like locked door etc...
Is there a way to get an image if I am using the NVR?
Hi ZaHackn, sorry for that we don't have the command for the motion detection.
Hi David Bell, sorry for that the command is only for Reolink cameras but no NVR.
