Reolink has many different camera models with inconsistently supported features and behavior. The below table shows a summary of various features and recommendations.
| Camera Resolution | Camera Generation | Recommended Stream Type | Additional Notes |
| ----------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 5MP or lower | All | http-flv | Stream is h264 |
| 6MP or higher | Latest (ex: Duo3, CX-8##) | http-flv with ffmpeg 8.0, or rtsp | This uses the new http-flv-enhanced over H265 which requires ffmpeg 8.0 |

#### Setup via the Add Camera Wizard
The Add Camera Wizard is the recommended way to add a standard Reolink camera. Before starting, make sure HTTP is enabled in the camera's advanced network settings — the wizard uses the camera's HTTP API to determine its resolution and choose the recommended stream type from the table above.
1. Click **Add Camera** in <NavPath path="Settings > Global configuration > Camera management" />.
2. Choose **Manual selection** as the stream detection method and select **Reolink** as the camera brand.
3. The wizard queries the camera and automatically uses an http-flv stream for cameras 5MP and lower, or an RTSP stream for higher resolution cameras.
4. In the validation step, enable **Use stream compatibility mode** for http-flv streams when the wizard recommends it.
If you use the **Probe camera** method instead, the discovered stream URLs will be RTSP. For Reolink cameras where http-flv is recommended, the wizard will show a warning in the validation step.
The wizard covers standard single-camera setups. For two way talk, cameras connected through a Reolink NVR, or audio transcoding for WebRTC live view, configure the camera manually as shown below.
#### Manual configuration
According to [this discussion](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/3235#issuecomment-1135876973), the http video streams seem to be the most reliable for Reolink.
Cameras connected via a Reolink NVR can be connected with the http stream, use `channel[0..15]` in the stream url for the additional channels.

To use a USB camera (webcam) with Frigate, the recommendation is to use go2rtc's [FFmpeg Device](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#source-ffmpeg-device) support:
- Preparation outside of Frigate:
- Get USB camera path. Run `v4l2-ctl --list-devices` to get a listing of locally-connected cameras available. (You may need to install `v4l-utils` in a way appropriate for your Linux distribution). In the sample configuration below, we use `video=0` to correlate with a detected device path of `/dev/video0`
- Get USB camera formats & resolutions. Run `ffmpeg -f v4l2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0` to get an idea of what formats and resolutions the USB Camera supports. In the sample configuration below, we use a width of 1024 and height of 576 in the stream and detection settings based on what was reported back.
- If using Frigate in a container (e.g. Docker on TrueNAS), ensure you have USB Passthrough support enabled, along with a specific Host Device (`/dev/video0`) + Container Device (`/dev/video0`) listed.
