Some Reolink devices are bound to a Reolink account, so when sharing these devices, you’ll need to use another Reolink account email to accept access. This ensures secure sharing and permission management. Follow these steps to easily share your devices with others and control permissions.
Applies to: Go PT S Lite.
💡 Important: Device sharing can only be performed through the Reolink App, as Reolink Client does not support logging into a Reolink account.

Before you begin, please ensure that:

User with Shared Access: Accepting the Shared Device
Open the Reolink App and make sure you are logged into your Reolink account.
In the Home screen, you will see a red notification dot on the message box in the upper right corner.
Tap on the Share icon to Accept to finalize the process.
Once accepted, you will see the shared device is added on the App.
Note: For battery-powered cameras with Not Connected message, this is normal as the camera is in standby mode. Tap the camera to live view the camera feed. The Link icon in the camera's live view indicates that the camera has been added via the sharing feature.
2. Managing and Revoking Device Sharing Permissions
Owner: Adding, Modifying or Stopping sharing permissions
As the owner, you can share with more users, modify or stop sharing permissions:
Share with More Users: If you want to share the device with additional users, you can tap the + icon in the top-right corner to add more people. You can share the device with up to 5 users.
Modify Sharing Permissions: To adjust the access permission for the user with shared access, tap the user to modify the permission and tap Save after making the changes.
Stop Sharing: Once device sharing is initiated, it will continue until the Owner stops sharing or the User removes the device. If you no longer want the user to access the device, tap Stop Sharing. The user will receive a notification that sharing has been stopped, and the device will be removed from his account and app interface.
User with Shared Access: Removing Shared Devices
If a user with shared access wants to remove a shared device from his account:
Go to Camera Settings and tap Delete.
The device will be removed from the user Reolink account and the app interface, but this will not affect the device's functionality or the owner Reolink account's access to the camera (including cloud or smart home features).
