Applies to:
All Reolink IP Cameras except for the battery-powered cameras.
The URL of JPEG image on Reolink cameras is:
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;
Username is admin;
The password is 123456;
In this case, the URL for capturing pictures would be
http://192.168.2.119/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=admin&password=123456
You will get a new live picture every time you refresh the website when you use the URL in the browser.

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...
