The Reolink E1 Pro does not have an API exoosed or a web interface that can be logged into. So I ditched the Reolink binding.
Installed the IP camera binding and no matter what i do, I’m unable to add any Thing. I tried ONVIF and RTSP things but initializes then errors and the Thing reports "HANDLER_INITIALISATION_ERROR’.
tried all sorts of settings and urls with and without username and password.
i know the rtsp works because my rtsp player in linux can access and play.
I think Reolink cameras have disabled the web interface and onfiv ports per default.
look for network settings in the Reolink app and enable the necessary ports.

That means it plays outside OH so the issue is NOT ports. The reolink.app DOES not need to open ports or enable anything It is ALREADY working albeit outside IOH
The issue is something in OH. That is why I came here… Also it works perfectly in home assistant!
Thanks Wolfgang…
So from the top…
I have come from Home Assistant in which my Reolink E1 Pro camera was recognised and worked.
Working my way through the learning curve with OH4, taking time, I tried to get this darn thing working to no avail.
I figured out how to install the IP Camera binding and setup the camera config but I get an error in the GUI
**COMMUNICATION_ERROR**
Connection Timeout: Check your IP and PORT are correct and the camera can be reached.
In the openhab.log file , this gets logged:
2024-09-24 11:57:06.449 [WARN ] [amera.internal.onvif.OnvifConnection] - Binding could not determin the cameras current PTZ location. Not all cameras respond to GetStatus requests.

I just installed the Reolink Doorbell and everything works fine. In the Reolink app I had to enable the RTSP and ONVIF ports, but I think you already did that.

I have an E1 Pro, and have gotten it to work with openhab. It’s currently disconnected though so cannot test it right now (have updated OH several times since I last used it, didn’t feel it added any value to have it OH).
Anyway, my (old) configuration don’t look much different from yours:
Just tried connecting it again, and it came online in OH without a problem. Are you sure there’s not anything else that prevents your OH machine from communicating with it?
This happens when there is an issue with the way the binding is installed. Uninstall and reinstall the binding. I see this on my setup occasionally when I drag a jar into the addons folder when the binding is running.
Edit it may also mean you have bad data for the thing, eg using quotes around a number means it is text string and not a number. Try adding the thing purely from the UI and not using the text methods that may cause a syntax error.
