### 2. Enabling HTTP/HTTPS ports
Test if you can access the camera by its IP address in your browser `https://<your-camera-ip>`. If you cannot, in the [Reolink mobile app, Windows, or Mac client](https://reolink.com/software-and-manual/) ensure at least one of the HTTP/HTTPS ports are enabled under **Settings** > **top camera model box** > **Network Information** > **Advanced** (mobile) or **Settings** > **Network** > **Advanced** > **Port Settings** (PC).

## Troubleshooting
- Older firmware versions do not expose the necessary information the integration needs to function. Ensure the camera is updated to the [latest firmware](https://reolink.com/download-center/) prior to setting up the integration. Note that Reolink auto update and check for update functions in the app/windows/web client often do not show the latest available firmware version. Therefore check the version in the [Reolink download center](https://reolink.com/download-center/) online.
- Ensure at least one of the HTTP/HTTPS ports is enabled in the [Reolink mobile app, Windows, or Mac client](https://reolink.com/software-and-manual/) under **Settings** > **top camera model box** > **Network Information** > **Advanced** (mobile) or **Settings** > **Network** > **Advanced** > **Port Settings** (PC), see [additional instructions](https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000621783-How-to-Set-up-Reolink-Ports-Settings/) on the Reolink site.

- On some camera models, the RTMP port needs to be enabled in order for the HTTP(S) port to function properly. Make sure this port is also enabled if you get a `Cannot connect to host` error while one of the HTTP/HTTPS ports is already enabled.
- Setting a static IP address for Reolink cameras/NVRs in your router is advisable to prevent (temporal) connectivity issues when the IP address changes.
- Do not set a static IP in the Reolink device itself, but leave the **Connection Type** on **DHCP** under **Settings** > **Network** > **Network Information** > **Set Up**. If you set it to **static** on the Reolink device itself, this is known to cause incorrect DHCP requests on the network. The incorrect DHCP request causes Home Assistant to use the wrong IP address for the camera, resulting in connection issues. The issue originates from the Reolink firmware, which keeps sending DCHP requests even when you set a static IP address in the Reolink device.
