How to get the RTSP stream from a Reolink B800 camera?

1. connect the camera to the intranet and make sure it is connected to a normal reolink app

2. download the neolink github repo, https://github.com/thirtythreeforty/neolink, or attachment below:-

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e3-1_raoUpCKVtSB2MrAZ5pmsY--DlHb/view?usp=sharing

3. unzip the neolink and cd into the folder, build the docker

cd neolink-master

docker build .

docker tag [image_id] neolink

4. once completed, configure the config.yoml by making a copy of sample.config.toml.

check the reolink app or poe switch for details.

5. run the docker as following command:-

docker run   -p 8554:8554   --restart=on-failure   --volume=$PWD/config.toml:/etc/neolink.toml   neolink:latest

For example:-

ninja$ docker run   -p 8554:8554   --restart=on-failure   --volume=$PWD/config.toml:/etc/neolink.toml   neolink:latest
