Reolink Doorbell and RLC-811a support - Working with go2rtc

[BradleyFord]

Finally got all my Reolink RLC-811a cameras up and working, and it took me a long time to get it figured out so sharing this for everyone else.
Actually I got them working without go2rtc a while ago, but never with go2rtc.

Note: This is with 0.13 Beta 1 (But potentially could work in 0.12)

Note: a key point is the selection of h264 for the sub-stream. When running both as h265 it didnt work, then disabling the sub-stream it was ok again... until I switched it to h264.

Nice one! Can I ask, are you running frigate within LXC? What hardware accelerators did you configure cause mine keeps going 100% CPU even with 1 camera :(

[sylvaindc]

Do you have a TPU?

[Hoelli4C]

Not OP but I just setup my 811 with go2rtc (thx) and I am running Frigate in an LXC container on Proxmox. Hardware is N100 based and I use the following:

# HW Accell

  hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi

@BradleyFord Hi, I'm planning to renew a camera and I would like to ask, how has been your experience with the 811wa?
Reolink cameras have been a bit of headache for me, but they are the most "open" I can find without buying from ali.

[BradleyFord]

let me answer this way... I need to buy more but I am looking at alternatives.

but the newer Reolink seem to be better
