Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Reolink Vehicle Counting
To begin, locate the IP address of your Reolink camera. Open the Reolink app, go to 'Device Info', then navigate to 'Network Info' to find the IP address. Ensure you have your username and password ready, which were set during the camera's initial setup. You can choose between a high-quality or a low-quality stream for the app. An example of a high-quality stream URL is `rtsp://admin:password123@192.168.178.101:554/h264Preview_01_main`, while a low-quality stream might look like `rtsp://admin:password123@192.168.178.101:554/h264Preview_01_sub`. Next, open the AI Traffic Count app, select 'RTSP Stream', and input the RTSP URL. If you encounter an error, ensure your device is connected to the same network as the camera, such as via WiFi. Once successfully connected, place tracking boxes and initiate tracking by clicking the start button.
Generate Detailed Reports with Ease
Take advantage of the AI Traffic Count app’s ability to generate comprehensive reports. You can easily export your vehicle counting data to a CSV file, which allows for further analysis and sharing of insights. This feature is perfect for keeping records or presenting data in a professional format.
Disclaimer: Make sure you have the needed permission to use your Reolink camera to record the area. Laws in some countries prohibit the recording of public streets.
