# Reolink camera and KNX integration with Link’nX

With Link’nX, a Reolink camera is controlled from the KNX bus or from a scenario: floodlight, brightness, siren, infrared, PTZ preset and reboot. Its motion, person, vehicle or pet detections can start a scenario or be read back on the bus. The available functions depend on the model and its configuration.

## What the Reolink integration does

| Need | Where to configure it | Guide |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Switch on the floodlight, set its brightness or activate the siren from a KNX button | Gateway table, **Actions** tab | [Map commands and feedback to KNX](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-gateway/) |
| Move the camera to a preconfigured PTZ position from the bus | **PTZ preset** row of the gateway table | [Map commands and feedback to KNX](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-gateway/) |
| Read the floodlight, infrared or detection state back on the bus | Gateway table, second tab | [Map commands and feedback to KNX](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-gateway/) |
| Send a command in a scenario, to one or several cameras | **reolink** action | [Control a Reolink camera](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-automation/) |
| Start a scenario on a detection | **reolink** trigger, **Event type** field | [Use Reolink detections](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-automation/) |

## Step-by-step commissioning

1. [Declare the camera](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-camera-devices/) in **Devices → Security & Access → Reolink**: name, IP address, HTTPS port, channel, username and password.
2. [Map its commands and feedback to KNX group addresses](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-gateway/), with the DPT of each row. Save each tab before switching to another.
3. [Prepare the Reolink actions and triggers](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-automation/), then [add them to the scenario](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-compose-scenario/).
4. Test each command and each detection on the camera.

If something goes wrong, the last section of the [commands and detections guide](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-reolink-automation/) covers rejected commands, commands with no effect and scenarios that do not react.

## Good to know

- The HTTPS port is prefilled with 443. The channel is 0 for a single-lens camera, or the NVR channel. The form rejects a new Reolink camera whose IP address is already declared.
- Floodlight, siren, infrared and reboot are mapped in DPT 1.001, brightness in DPT 5.001 (0 to 100%) and the PTZ preset in DPT 5.010, from 1.
- A brightness of 0 does not replace an explicit floodlight switch-off. Enabling infrared allows it to operate automatically, without guaranteeing that it stays on.
- A trigger waits for a new detection: a detection that stays active does not restart the scenario, and checks are periodic.
- The rows offered do not guarantee that each model has a floodlight, a PTZ motor or a given detection.
