ReolinkHelper Extension
Reolink cameras may be accessed over a local network by using the ip address of the camera. However, the interface is a bit limited (esp., no fullscreen mode, and inability to digitally zoom) and also can be a bit daunting.
This extension offers fullscreen mode and digital zooming functionality, as well as making the UI more user friendly. It also cleans up the UI, hiding controls when not being used, in order to allow for more real estate for actual camera viewing when not in fullscreen mode.
