The integration allows you to control [Reolink](https://reolink.com/) NVRs or cameras. Reolink cameras are known for their local storage, without the need for a cloud subscription or account. Reolink cameras can operate fully locally on your network, putting privacy first. When blocking internet access for the Reolink devices, the Home Assistant integration, as well as the Reolink app/client, will continue to work as usual. Reolink cameras provide excellent day- and nighttime video clarity at an affordable price. An SD card in the camera offers local recording, while an optional Reolink NVR/Hub can offer a large recording capacity indoors. As evident by the list of entities in this documentation, Reolink cameras are highly configurable and tightly integrated into Home Assistant.

- The password used for the Reolink device can only contain characters `a-z, A-Z, 0-9 or @$*~_-+=!?.,:;'()[]`. Other special characters will cause encoding issues in the video streams used by this integration and are, therefore, not allowed. When using an incompatible special character in the password, the integration will prompt you to change the password. - The password used for the Reolink device can only contain characters `a-z, A-Z, 0-9 or @$*~_-+=!?.,:;'()[]`.
