<![CDATA[Unable to connect Reolink Cams with Echo devices]]>Hi all,

I have two Echo devices (Spot and Show 8 ) and two Reolink cams (RLC511 and RLC410). Both are setup in monocle with tag @tunnel and the gateway is running on one of my servers. The service is running fine:

Whenever I want to show a stream on one of the Echo devices Alexa says “the camera is not responding”.

What I checked so far:

  • Stream URL copied from Monocle WebUI to VLC works fine. VLC will play the stream
  • Port 443 on the gateway is not blocked and I can telnet to the port from another device within my network
    3.jpg
  • The local monocle gateway IP 192.168.10.3 is correct and pingable
  • The FQDN is resolvable (from my local DNS and also from eg. Google DNS) and returns the correct local gateway IP

Any idea what could be wrong with my setup?

Thanks and regards

All I had to do was update the firmware on my RTLC-410, RLC-511 and RLC-423 and then install the Reolink Alexa smart app.
Monocle was not required. https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037976953-How-to-Add-Reolink-Cameras-to-Amazon-Alexa

Update the firmware first…

I managed to get a step further. Apparently my Router firmware had active DNS Rebind Protection. I have defined a exception for *.mproxy.io. Now at least the connection to the gateway works from my Alexa devices. Unfortunately still Alexa says “the camera is not responding”. During the initial connection negotiation I have a 451 and a 401 error. Can you please help on how to overcome this issue?

Thanks and regards
