Reolink doorbell finally supports webhooks

Just for info you can grab a still image from the camera at the following url -

Ah that is a bummer...
I asked last week on their forum whether my other reolink cams would get webhooj support. But the feedback was that Reolink doesn't read those discussions and I had to contact theur support.

So my advice is to go to "contact" on the reolink website, waste a few minutes to have a complete useless discussion with thei AI chatbot, until it offers to type "talk to a human"...

BTW my onvif nodes have never been published to npm, so not available in your palette

npm install bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-onvif-nodes

Seem to install OK but cannot be found in Pallet ?

Did you run that in the .node-red folder, and have you restarted node-red since installing it, and refreshed the browser page?

Thanks Colin for the kick, I thought I had refreshed but I guess not :wink:

That is the part I keep forgetting too.

The webhook option is still in the Web interface not the mobile app and I confirmed it is only in 4110 firmware version.

Does anyone know if they work with http and https?

Thanks for this great write-up
Got webhooks working a treat!

Does anyone know if there is a way to send a custom text or audio replies?

That error is because you are running Node-RED with NodeJS 16 (still running 3.1.x?) and one of the dependencies needs NodeJS 18.

You need to update the container you are using to one based on NodeJS 18, there should be a 3.1.15-18 tagged container or move to 4.0.x which is based on NodeJS 20 by default

I have just received a D340W Video Doorbell (12V AC powered using WiFi).
The firmware is version 2404072240 - which doesn't have the Web-Hook facility.
I've tried updateing/upgrading to version 2410111119 or 2407315182 but after the upgrade process has completed the Video Doorbell still reports version 2404072240 (even after a 'reboot')

Just wondering if anyone else has a D340W and has managed to perform the upgrade or whether they are experiencing the same issue as me?

Although I've contacted Reolink Support, they can't offer an explanation (at the moment).

Yes, me

Yes, me.

I have FW 2410111119

I remember having a bit bother updating the FW but cannot remember what it was. IIRC, I downloaded the FW again, i did NOT unzip it, I uploaded via web interface.

This is where you find the hook:

I'm using the Reolink program on my PC - I assume that is what you call the 'web interface' ?
Well that didn't work. I did try using the zipped FW but that wasn't "seen" by the browse facility within the Maintenance section, so I tried using the unzipped file again - still no joy.

No, the web interface is in a browser at http://bell-ip/ or https://bell-ip/ PS, if you are using the crippled apple browser, switch to a better one.

PS. the bells IP is listed in the app.

Hi Steve,
I had to unzip the FW otherwise it is not recognised by the Maintenance FW Update sequence.

My DoorBell seems to stubbornly refuse to update my FW as after many attempts (where everything seems to happen correctly) it still reports 2404072240.

You are correct. my memory was incorrect.

You might want to try a different unzipper. I suspect I used 7z to unzip. But as already proven, my memory aint so good :wink:

Have you tried turning it off and on again ?
:rofl:
But seriously have you ?

Yes - quite a few times (as well as a 'reboot' from the Admin page).

I thought I might have got a response from someone else, as I can't believe that only you, Bart and myself have a D340W.

@dynamicdave

Are you sure that's the correct firmware ?

If you go to the info page what Hardware No. does it show does it show ?

This is mine

If you have DB_566128M5MP_W_W then the firmware should be - v3.0.0.4110_2410111127

@Steve-Mcl Sorry replied to wrong message

We have the D340W, you have the D340P

Its the right F/W
