Reolink IP Camera Integration on Ubuntu: Server as Network Video Recorder (NVR)
This tutorial explains how to use a home server as network video recorder (NVR). I show how to crop images from a Reolink IP camera, add overlays, and archive webcam images on your home server. On Linux its super easy to retrieve the camera feed from an IP camera and process the image using imagemagick.
