Reolink Python package

Description

This is a package implementing the Reolink IP camera API. Also it’s providing a way to subscribe to Reolink events, so real-time events can be received on a webhook.

Prerequisites

• python3

Installation

git clone https://github.com/fwestenberg/reolink
cd reolink/
pip3 install .

Usage

api = camera_api.Api('192.168.1.10', 80, 'user', 'mypassword')

# get settings, like ports etc.:
await api.get_settings()

# Store the subscribe port
subscribe_port =  api.onvif_port

# get the states:
await api.get_states()

# print some state value:
print(api.ir_state)

# enable the infrared lights:
await api.set_ir_lights(True)

# enable the spotlight:
await api.set_spotlight(True)

# enable the siron:
await api.set_sirenTrue)

# logout
await api.logout()

# Now subscribe to events, suppose our webhook url is http://192.168.1.11/webhook123

sman = subscription_manager.Manager('192.168.1.10', subscribePort, ' user', 'mypassword')
await sman.subscribe('http://192.168.1.11/webhook123')

# After some minutes check the renew timer (keep the eventing alive):
if (sman.renewTimer <= 100):
    await sman.renew()

# Unsubscribe
await sman.unsubscribe()

Example

This is an example of the usage of the API. In this case we want to retrive and print the Mac Address of the NVR.

from reolink.camera_api import Api
import asyncio

async def print_mac_address():
    # initialize the api
    api = Api('192.168.1.109', 80, 'admin', 'admin1234')
    # get settings
    await api.get_settings()
    # print mac address
    print(api._mac_address)
    # close the api
    await api.logout()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(print_mac_address())
