Not even a good ol' railing anti-Reolink rant.

A classic nonetheless!

Hi, does anyone have the configuration for reolink rtmp connection?

The screenshots in the original post are gone.

I've still not been able to get my reolink cameras to work with rtmp, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

edit, nevermind, got it work with this config:

Good Evening. i was having lots of trouble and the signal not found. finally ran across some information on the Reolink site that showed me how to "activate" rtsp and ONVIF. they are turned off by default. once i turned them on, all the basic settings worked like a charm in BI.

maybe this will help someone.

I'm afraid they were lost in a forum crash and could not be retrieved. What do you need ?

Just as a public service announcement, and I suppose another 'Reolink Gotcha' to be aware of (and coming directly from Reolink Support), RTMP is not supported on 4K H.265 and above devices either on the main H265 stream or the H264 sub stream.

In case anyone else was wondering as I was a few months ago...

RLC-4xxx / RLC-5xx series

Most cameras connect via RTSP today. However, Reolink provides RTSP and RTMP support. From our testing, RTMP seems to perform better. Many users were complaining about the No Signal message when using RTSP from BI. When switching to RTMP, the cameras worked perfectly for the mainstream and the sub stream.

In order to leverage the RTMP stream from Reolink, the Network IP Configuration dialog needs to look like below (note the RTMP choice for Model and usage of Port 1935 for media):
