Reolink

What is Reolink?

Reolink is a surveillance management app for compatible Reolink cameras, NVRs, and Home Hub devices. It helps you add devices, watch live video, review recorded footage, and change device settings from your Mac. The app supports local and remote access so you can monitor your cameras from the same network or while away. It also includes playback tools for recordings stored on cameras, NVRs, or attached storage, making it useful for checking events and troubleshooting camera placement or alerts. People typically use it to manage multiple Reolink devices from one desktop interface instead of relying only on a mobile app.

• Add and manage multiple cameras, NVRs, and Home Hub devices
• Change device settings and monitor system status from the desktop app

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Reolink is legitimate device-management software for Reolink security products. It normally needs network access to reach your cameras and may handle live video, recordings, device names, and account details used to connect to your equipment. That access is expected for a camera client, but you should only sign in to devices you own or administer and keep the app updated if you use remote access features.

Recommendation: Keep Reolink if you use Reolink cameras, an NVR, or a Home Hub from your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use Reolink equipment or prefer mobile-only access, knowing you will lose desktop live view, playback, and device-management features.
