How to Set up Motion Detection Area via Web Browsers

Applies to: All Reolink cameras except battery-powered cameras, Reolink E1, Reolink E1 Pro, and Reolink Lumus.

You may follow the steps below to set the motion detection area for Reolink cameras via a Web Browser.

Step 1: Connect your camera to the network of the router.

Notes:

The camera needs to be powered on.
Make sure that your PC is in the same local network as the router. If it's not in the same local network as the router, you need to log into the web management page with the WAN IP address of your router.

Step 2: Log in your camera via Web Browsers and go to the Device Settings page.

Step 3: Go to Alarm -> Motion->Detection page.

Step 2: Drag the mouse to set the detection area, then click OK to save the settings.

Note: Motions in the area covered with white grids will be detected.

Besides the Web Browser, you can also use other methods to set up motion detection area. Check details in:
