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.

streaming not pictures ……
Would be very helpful to be able to download the script file .
You should escape & characters in shell on wget command wget `http://….&user=…&password=…`
Just an idea: use unix time as token.
Very cool. I did something back in the day with Apache/PHP. I always wanted to be able to stream the video but couldn't quite figure out how. Any chance you'll do live video next?
