Webcam Issue

Post by BKS97 »

I had to replace my Reolink RLC-410 camera with a RLC-510WA. The new camera is up and running but I haven't been able to get it working on my Meteobridge (Weatherbridge).

I entered a link recommended by Reolink Support into the Cam setup box on Meteobridge. The link is virtually the same as I was successfully using with the previous camera. When I enter the new link in my browser bar of my computer, it does produce the latest image from the new camera.

However, with the new camera link that I am using in the Meteobridge Cam setup, I get a message that says "no such image exists". In the Weather Networks section, when I click on the camera icons, it shows the last image produced by the OLD camera just before it failed, including the overlay.
I should add that when I enter the new link, all the check marks show as green.

Hoping someone can help me get the new camera setup working on Meteobridge. Thanks, Bill

I entered this URL in the Cam set-up:
http://192.168.1.173/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cm ... d=xxxxxxxx

It shows a green checkmark but clicking on the webcam icon displays a broken image icon.

when you enter this URL in your browser, what does it reply when you try to inspect the source code?
Can your browser store the image as a file on your computer?

Typical failure is, that the URL does not return a JPEG but
- a movie stream
- a HTML page where a picture is included

Thanks. I think the issue is on my end and Reolink is working with me, so hope to know more soon.
