How to Download and Install Reolink Client Software on Windows

This guide shows how to find, download, install, and set up the Reolink Client software for Windows. Once installed, the desktop client allows you to view your Reolink NVR cameras from a desktop computer or laptop.

Installing Reolink Client on a Windows PC

If you use Reolink cameras or a Reolink NVR system, the Reolink Client software is one of the easiest ways to view your camera feeds from a Windows desktop or laptop. Instead of relying only on a mobile app, the desktop client gives you a larger viewing area and a more convenient way to monitor cameras from your computer.

The installation process is straightforward. You need to find the correct Reolink Client download, choose the version that matches your system, install the software, allow firewall access if prompted, and then log into your Reolink system.

Step 1: Find the Reolink Client Download

Start by opening your browser and searching for the Reolink app for Windows. From the search results, look for the official Reolink page and open the Reolink Download Center.

The Download Center is where Reolink provides client software for different systems. Make sure you choose the correct version for your computer. In this video, the 64-bit Windows version is selected.

Step 2: Choose the Correct Windows Version

Most modern Windows computers use a 64-bit operating system, so the 64-bit version of the Reolink Client is usually the right choice. If you are using an older computer, you may want to confirm whether your Windows installation is 32-bit or 64-bit before downloading.

Step 3: Download, Extract, and Install the Software

After selecting the correct Windows version, download the Reolink Client installation file. If the download comes in a compressed folder, extract the file first. Once the file is extracted, open it and follow the installation wizard.

During installation, you may be given the option to create a desktop shortcut or a quick launch icon. These options are useful if you plan to open the Reolink Client frequently.

Step 4: Launch the Reolink Client

Once the installation is complete, launch the Reolink Client software. If you have Windows Firewall or another firewall program installed, you may be prompted to allow access. This is expected because the client needs network access to communicate with your Reolink NVR or camera system.

Allowing firewall access lets the software connect to your Reolink system so your camera feeds can appear inside the desktop client.

Step 5: Connect to Your Reolink NVR

Inside the Reolink Client, click on your system in the top right corner. Then select the login box and enter your password. Once the password is accepted, your cameras should appear in the client software.

At that point, you can view your Reolink NVR cameras from your Windows desktop or laptop. This is useful for home security, business monitoring, checking camera feeds while working, or reviewing your camera system from a larger screen.

Why Use the Reolink Desktop Client?

The Reolink mobile app is convenient, but the desktop client is better when you want a larger view of your camera feeds. It also makes sense if your computer is located near your desk, network panel, or security setup.

• Larger viewing screen: View camera feeds on a monitor instead of a phone.
• Better for multitasking: Keep camera feeds open while working on your computer.
• Helpful for NVR users: Access your Reolink NVR system from your desktop or laptop.
• Simple setup: Download, install, allow access, and log in.
• Convenient access: Use desktop shortcuts or quick launch icons to open the client faster.

Common Setup Tips

If your Reolink Client does not connect right away, check a few basics. Make sure the computer is on the same network as the Reolink NVR, confirm that your password is correct, and make sure your firewall is not blocking the software.

It is also a good idea to download the client only from Reolink's official website. This helps ensure you are installing the correct software and not a third-party or outdated version.

Final Thoughts

Installing the Reolink Client software on Windows is quick and simple. Search for the Reolink Windows client, download the correct version, extract the file if needed, follow the installation wizard, and log into your Reolink system.

Once the setup is complete, you can view your Reolink NVR cameras directly from your desktop or laptop. For anyone using Reolink cameras at home or in a small business, the Windows client is a convenient tool that makes camera monitoring much easier.
