Got a new Reolink RLC-811WA **solved**

[captgadget]

And I would to share the photo on Meteobridge but I don't have a clue how fill in the blank with the correct information. Galfert helped me set it up for my old Foscam but he's bowed out so now I'm lost.

You'll need the IP address of your FOSCAM and you'll need to either use the Admin account or make a USER account. Then you can use the API with something like this in the URL on the Meteobridge Weather Cam page:

Code: Select all

http://your_Cam_IP_address:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=your_ID&pwd=your_Password

It helps to have your Foscam given a static IP address from your router. It avoids having to change the Meteobridge in case you have to reboot the cam.

You can test if it works by inserting your completed URL into a browser. If it returns a .JPEG then it will work in your Meteobridge

I'm sorry but I'm no longer using the Foscam but a Reolink RLC-811WA. That's the one I need help with. Thanks anyway

There is a similar API for Reolink.

The documentation is here: https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/ar ... o-CGI-API/

You are looking for section 3.6.7 - Snap: where the command is something link this:

Code: Select all

https://192.168.1.238/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=flsYJfZgM6RTB_os&token=TOKEN

Refer to this page for examples: https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/a ... -Browsers/

Note: HTTPS is the default. If you need HTTP then you need to enable it in the Reolink Settings as per section 2.1

Let us know if you were successful
