- AI package detection+
- Sleep status
\+ These sensors receive events using 3 methods in order: ONVIF push, ONVIF long polling or fast polling (every 5 seconds).
The latency for receiving the events is the best for ONVIF push and the worst for fast polling, the fastest available method that is detected to work will be used, and slower methods will not be used.
\+ These sensors receive events using the following 4 methods (in order): TCP push, ONVIF push, ONVIF long polling or fast polling (every 5 seconds).
The latency for receiving the events is the best for TCP push and the worst for fast polling, the fastest available method that is detected to work will be used, and slower methods will not be used.
For redundancy, these sensors are polled every 60 seconds together with the update of all other entities.
Not all camera models generate ONVIF push events for all event types, some binary sensors might, therefore, only be polled.
For list of Reolink products that support ONVIF see the [Reolink Support Site](https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000617826).
To ensure you have the best latency possible, refer to the [Reducing latency of motion events](#reducing-latency-of-motion-events) section.

### Reducing latency of motion events
ONVIF push will result in slightly faster state changes of the binary motion/AI event sensors than ONVIF long polling.
Moreover, ONVIF push is less demanding for the camera than ONVIF long polling or fast polling, resulting in potentially less connection issues.
However, ONVIF push has some additional network configuration requirements:

TCP push does not have any particular requirements. However, ONVIF push has some additional network configuration requirements:
- Reolink products can not push motion events to an HTTPS address (SSL).
- Reolink products can not push ONVIF motion events to an HTTPS address (SSL).
Therefore, make sure a (local) HTTP address at which HA is reachable is configured under **Home Assistant URL** in the {% my network title="network settings" %}.
A valid address could, for example, be `http://192.168.1.10:8123` where `192.168.1.10` is the IP of the Home Assistant device.

Therefore, ensure no Global SSL certificate is configured in the [`configuration.yaml` under HTTP](/integrations/http/#ssl_certificate).
An SSL certificate can still be enforced for external connections, by, for instance, using the [NGINX add-on](https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/tree/master/nginx_proxy) or [NGINX Proxy Manager add-on](https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-nginx-proxy-manager) instead of a globally enforced SSL certificate.
