Welcome to the ReolinkCameraAPI wiki!

The Plan

The Reolink camera API's are non-existent with only 2 API commands given in their support docs. As a developer that wants full control over the Reolink Camera for use in projects (computer vision etc.) I needed something more than just 2 API commands.

The plan is to implement the camera API's inside Python 3.6 by reverse engineering their web console. The API uses simple HTTP requests to handle setting the camera up or even viewing camera settings. The Video stream will be handled by using their built in RTSP server. I plan on using the rtsp library written by statueofmike.

Feel free to contribute to this repository. If you have a better way, please share! I'd love to improve the code as much as possible and learn in the process :)
