For security and management purposes, Reolink allows administrators to view the current online users of their devices. This article will guide you through the process of checking online users via the Reolink App, Reolink Client, and web browser.

Applies to: All Reolink cameras, NVRs and Home Hub series.

Different devices support different methods for viewing online users, which can be categorized based on whether the device uses Advanced Sharing Feature or User Management to create users.

Advanced Sharing Feature Share with authorization code/link On the Share Device Section via the Reolink App and Reolink Client
User Management Feature Share with device UID, username and password On the User Management Section via Reolink App, Reolink Client and web browser
