reolink-mcp
An open-source MCP server for Reolink cameras that allows agents to see and control cameras on the local network. It supports snapshots, device state, AI detection states, PTZ presets, and deterrence controls like spotlights and sirens. It operates directly on the local network without requiring an NVR or home-automation daemon.
