Reolink E1 Zoom rebooting #236
Comments
Hi @The-IcEDFiRE, I use E1 Zoom with this integration in Home Assistant and have no issues with overheating at all. My Reolink E1 Zoom 5MP WiFi PTZ has been working perfectly since purchase and install 1 month ago. I have E1 Zoom, RLC-410, RLC-420 and RLC-822A all working perfectly with Home Assistant :-) |
Hmm.. what firmware is the E1 zoom running? I have six E1 Zoom cams and they all reboot at a point or another..at times once every so often, in other instances, once one starts rebooting, it keeps rebooting over and over. To be honest you won't notice it is rebooting except for seeing the cam do the axis calibration and auto focus sound. In some cases, it reboots so often that it goes and stays offline, both from HA and the reolink app. |
I'm having the same issue here. |
If I use Onvif integration it works fine albeit with some lag which is understandable.. the cameras don't reboot once.. but as soon as I enable the camera with this integration, they start rebooting at random intervals. Didn't take note of decrease in video feed. |

That worked..thanks.. now will see if it reboots. |
Try removing your SD card, if you have it. I replaced my SD and apparently improved this problem. |
@The-IcEDFiRE were you able to find a solution? I've got the same issue with rebooting E1 Zoom with HA core-2021.8.7. I tried several reolink_dev releases but with no luck so far. |
To be honest they stopped rebooting. Reolink support kept pointing to router issues, which I have no idea why. Then the router got an update and the cameras stopped rebooting. I think it is more of a coincidence though. In the meantime, there was an update to the Integration and to HA. Plus, I also had configured them to use the ONVIF integration and disabled them from the Reolink integration. Setting the stream to Sub instead of Main didn't help much and now with Main the camera still doesn't reboot. I think it could have also been heat-related maybe and now that summer is almost over, and not as hot as before, maybe that couple of deg was a tipping point. I still get some gaps in the HA history but those aren't actual reboots... it seems that at times HA and the cameras stop communicating or something. Bottom line, they seem to have stopped rebooting (for now) but have no idea why. |
Lucky you... :/ It turns out I've to integrate my Reolink in a different way, unless camera/HA/integration got new release to be tested. I'll try to rollback camera firmware to some older version just to make sure Reolink dev does not broke something in between. Thanks for sharing your status though. Be well! |
I'm experiencing this issue as well, the camera is rebooting itself only if I use reolink_dev, configured as suggested above. If I integrate the camera via ONVIF, the camera is stable and not rebooting. |
Hi, I tried different firmware versions... same results... I think the issue is with heating (high CPU usage perhaps). I do have one of the cameras that has a loose connection in the power socket though. So check out for those too. I am now using Frigate (needed person detection) and RTMP streams (RTSP was horrible). If you just need to view the cams, ONVIF is more than enough. For those that don't have ONVIF, you can try using NEOLINK which is a bridge between the native Reolink protocol and RTSP. |
Did you have any luck in rolling back firmware and fixing the disconnects? |
Thanks for the update! I've just turned on debug logging for this integration to try and get more information on what's going on: as per your comment above, the hourly disconnects in the integration are pretty supicious. @fwestenberg and @cpainchaud, any idea of what could be at the root of this? I'll update information from my logs as it becomes available. |
Getting this problem too - had Reolink E1 Zoom working stand-alone for a few months without any problems, the attached HA and boom, it restarts every hour or so - I was on an old firmware but upgrading to latest doesn't help sadly. No SD card installed. If anyone finds an answer to this I'd be grateful! |
Ever since, my cameras reboot even when not connected to HA... at a less
frequency... I noticed they do it mostly when at night with IR on.

I concluded that it really is a hardware problem. I bought another Reolink E1 outdoor and had no problems. |
Tried disabling all entities other than camera (inc motion detection) but still kept resetting. Disabled all 9 entities and it’s not reset since. So I guess something to do with the continual polling of the upnp interface for the image is making this device either over heat or crash in some other way. Sadly this means that for me at least the Reolink is not a viable HA device right now. |
Having the same problem with two e1 zoom cameras. Even replaced them both to sort out a device error. Wifi Signal can not be a problem. I will disabled some settings and keep the other one as is, to find the blamable one. |
I've been having a similar issue with my E1 Zoom camera randomly restarting and returning to a different point than I had it before so I started digging through the HA logs but noticed that the camera restarts didn't seem consistent with the dropouts I saw in HA from the reolink_dev component. Furthermore the reolink_dev dropouts seemed to be occuring at very 1, 2 or 3 hour regular intervals (down to the second) which seems to suggest more of a hardware problem than a software problem To further debug I added ping sensors pointed at the actual reolink cameras and confirmed that when the cameras reset (manually via power cycle, reboot via reolink app, or randomly) they do trigger downtime on those ping sensors. Here is a plot comparing two reolink_dev sensors (the camera feed + also IR on/off) and their gaps vs. the ping sensor (I rebooted the camera once or twice in there manually for debugging). This seems to suggest that yes the E1 zoom camera and my E1 outdoor camera are sometime rebooting, but there is also some sort of periodic recurring dropout problem with the reolink_dev integration that causes dropouts at fixed intervals. I have ancdeotal evidence that this dropout behavior gets better after an HA restart (full docker down/up as I'm using container version) and ancedotally I don't see a correlation with the actual camera reboots vs. integration attached/detached (though I have not tested this part enough/thoroughly) Is the periodic rebooting something I should start a separate thread/bug for? |
I haven't had a reboot ever since Reolink exchanged my E1 Zoom for a new one; also, the replacement camera is a newer hardware revision. The integration dropouts still show up in the HA graphs, but the reboots seemed to be hardware-related. |
What HW revision is your newer E1 Zoom camera? I'm HW IPC_515BSD6 on Firmware v3.0.0.1107_22070508. |
@DracoC77 my E1 Zoom is HW version IPC_515BSD6, older one was IPC_515SD6. Seeing that you seem to have the same HW revision, maybe it is just somekind of hardware failure. |
Have the same issue with 2 e1 zoom cameras. |
Just sharing where I ended up on this issue:
At the end of the way I returned my E1 zoom since it was dropping link so often, but have kept my E1 outdoor since that seems to be performing better. Hope this helps folks that find this thread. |
It seems that when using this integration with E1 Zoom, the camera heats up and starts rebooting. When the device is disabled from HA, the rebooting stops.
