How To Use Reolink’S App To Access Your Rlc-811A Remotely

by

Reolink’s RLC-811A is a powerful security camera that offers remote access through the Reolink app. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and access your camera remotely, ensuring you can monitor your property anytime, anywhere.

First, download the Reolink app on your smartphone or tablet. It is available for both iOS and Android devices. Search for “Reolink” in the App Store or Google Play Store and install the app.

Open the Reolink app and sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one. Having an account is essential for remote access and managing your cameras from different devices.

Adding Your RLC-811A Camera

Ensure your camera is powered on and connected to the same network as your mobile device during setup. Tap the “+” button in the app to add a new device. Select “Device” and then choose “Add by QR Code” or “Add Manually.”

If using QR code, scan the QR code located on the camera or its packaging. Follow the prompts to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network and assign it a name.

Configuring Remote Access

After adding your camera, ensure it is online and properly configured. Navigate to the camera settings within the app. Enable remote viewing options, such as cloud or local storage, depending on your preference.

Setting Up Port Forwarding (Optional)

For advanced users, setting up port forwarding on your router can enhance remote access stability. Refer to your router’s manual to open the necessary ports for Reolink devices. This step is optional, as the app can often connect via Reolink’s cloud servers without port forwarding.

Accessing Your Camera Remotely

Open the Reolink app on your mobile device. Log in with your account credentials if prompted. Your added cameras will appear on the main screen. Tap on your RLC-811A to view live footage remotely.

You can also adjust camera settings, record footage, or take snapshots directly from the app while viewing remotely.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you experience connectivity issues, ensure your camera is connected to the internet and your mobile device has a stable network connection. Restart the camera and app if necessary. Check your Wi-Fi settings and port forwarding configurations if applicable.
