Help: List of suppported Camera's

[Benehiko]

Help wanted

For those out there that are using the library, would you be so kind as to mention which Reolink camera's you are using the library with.

Just paste the information on this issue and it will be added to the README.md file

Did you use the reolinkapi library to connect to the NVR?

Did you use the reolinkapi library to connect to the NVR?

Yes. I know the library's aimed at cameras, but my purposes were for NVR account control. Obviously things like raw streams will just error, but most of the calls work just great.

Thank you for all your contributions so far!

That's really good to hear! We could add the NVR as well in the readme and just specify streaming to be broken.

No, cloud cameras are not supported and will not work.

I have an E1 outdoor here.

• snap image - did not work for user admin. After creating a new user it works
• have no valid certificate installed. After implementing a fix within stream.py for calling requests.get() it works. see PR#57
  I have expierienced some problems with answers from my cam so I extended it a little to only create an image from response it the mime is not text/html:

        def get_snap(self, timeout: float = 3, proxies: Any = None) -> Optional[Image]:
            """
            Gets a "snap" of the current camera video data and returns a Pillow Image or None
            :param timeout: Request timeout to camera in seconds
            :param proxies: http/https proxies to pass to the request object.
            :return: Image or None
            """
            data = {
                'cmd': 'Snap',
                'channel': 0,
                'rs': ''.join(choices(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits, k=10)),
                'user': self.username,
                'password': self.password,
            }
            parms = parse.urlencode(data).encode("utf-8")
  
            try:
                response = requests.get(self.url, proxies=proxies, params=parms, timeout=timeout, verify=False)
                if response is None:
                    return None
  
                if response.status_code == 200:
                    if response.headers.get('Content-Type','text/html') == 'text/html':
                        data = response.json()[0]
                        error = data.get("error",None)
                        if error is not None:
                            import pprint
                            pprint.pprint(error)
                    else:
                        return open_image(BytesIO(response.content))
                print("Could not retrieve data from camera successfully. Status:", response.status_code)
                return None
  
            except Exception as e:
                print("Could not get Image data\n", e)
                raise
  

• cam.go_to_preset() also works. I am still thinking how to integrate this cam further so I might add here other findings

I would suggest to separate stream.py into grab an image only and stream.py itself. Otherwise one will need to install the whole bunch of additional requirements which might not be needed if one only wants a simple snap.
