Cant get reolink to download to pc

You can watch your IP camera with Reolink Client on your computer. Here's the video footage shared by one of our customers captured by Reolink RLC Important : Since there is no router network, the IP camera would not transmit data or send alarms to your phone.

Still, you can record and save all the footage onto your computer. If you're gonna use your IP camera with the computer all the time like this without router network , you'd better change the default status of your IP camera's IP address to the static to keep it the same all the time, because each time you reboot the IP camera, its IP address will be changed and you will need to do all the steps above again.

If you do have WiFi network and need to remotely see the IP camera when you're not there, you can connect your wireless or WiFi camera to computer wirelessly via your router.

A WiF camera needs to connect to the router with a network cable for initial setup, because the new camera itself wouldn't recognize and auto-pick up a network that it never uses. Only after the correct WiFi settings can you disconnect the cable from the camera and the router. And yeah again, normally there would be a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 cable attached from the WiFi camera.

Then connect the other end of the network cable to the router. On the computer, launch the surveillance software to add the camera and watch live view directly. In our test, we open Reolink Client. Since the computer and the camera are in the same network using the same router network , Reolink Client automatically searches and displays the camera directly. And you can set up the configurations for all the functions you want the camera to have.

Do remember to make the WiFi settings for the camera. Choose the WiFi network and enter the password, and done. Cameras from the different brands would have different WiFi settings.

Please refer to the guides you get from your supplier. Important : If you need to see the IP camera from another computer that is not in the same network, you need to input the camera's UID into the software to remotely access the camera.

Connecting a PoE wired IP camera to a computer via the router is similar to that of a WiFi camera, and even much easier — you don't need to use a power adapter, set up the WiFi and remove the network cable. PoE Power over Ethernet means you can just use a single network cable for both video and power transmission.

So just connect the camera to the router via the network cable, and the camera will get power supply and network access. Please make sure your router has the PoE feature. If not, try the next method. Since the computer and the camera are in the same network, Reolink Client automatically searches and displays the camera directly. Important : Once you connect the PoE IP camera to the PoE injector or switch which is connected to a router via Ethernet cables, you've successfully connected the camera to the network.

For a wireless IP camera, you need to use a network cable to connect it to the router if you haven't set up the WiFi network configuration. And then the wireless IP camera is in the network. You can set up the WiFi configuration later to make the wireless IP camera connect wirelessly.

If you need to see the IP camera from another computer that is not in the same network, you need to input the camera's UID into the software to remotely access the camera.

Reolink security camera systems , like the PoE kit RLKB4 , have their own proprietary networks, and can work with and without your router network. When you receive the new IP camera system you bought, connect all the devices you got — connect the NVR to your computer's monitor and the mouse, use the power adapters to charge the NVR and cameras, etc.

The startup and setup wizard will pop up to guide you to watch your cameras and do other configurations. If you need to see the IP cameras from another computer that is not in the same network, you need to input the NVR's UID into the software to remotely access the cameras. You can also opt for third-party software to connect and set up a security camera on the computer. Make sure the software can handle all the cameras on the network and support all the features for the cameras.

Normally, the third-party software has several versions. And if you want to use full features of the camera, you need to pay for a premium version.

Straight away, either from the windows start menu or desktop shortcut start BlueStacks app. If its the first time working with BlueStacks Android emulator you need to definitely connect your Google account with emulator. It's simple to install Reolink for PC through BlueStacks app either by finding Reolink application in google playstore page or through apk file.

I don't own a cell phone nor will I. I found a Windows client on this site but it asks me to setup on phone. What the heck? Also, Why does it appear that the receiving device and the camera needs to be on the same network? I am sure it really isn't that way, or it would be the suckiest setup ever..

I just could not see a way to get this to work. I got this to protect my camper that has internet. Can you tell us something more specific than "near future"? I'm trying to decide whether to return all of the Argus cameras I purchased.

Hi guys, We know you are so eager. But we are coming so close now. If necessary, download and use this Client software that we are about to release. Happy Holidays! Hi Bob, Not to be a pest, but is there an update on when the Mac beta will be ready? Hi Bob, I was going to try and direct message you but it looks like the Reolink forum doesn't support that. I know you probably don't, but do you have even a rough guess as to how long until it will be available? You said soon, which is why I rechecked in 2 weeks.

I'm wanting to connect my Arguses to my NAS, which has an OS that has a surveillance app that supports Reolink cameras, I just need the client to get it setup and linked.
