Stream Reolink Camera To Vizio Tv: Easy Steps

There are several ways to view a Reolink camera's live view on a Vizio TV. If your camera system involves an NVR, you can hook the NVR to your TV via an HDMI port or VGA port. You can also use Google Home or Amazon Alexa to display IP camera videos on your TV. Alternatively, you can use an IP-camera-to-HDMI converter/decoder, set up a DLNA server on a PC and stream IP videos on your TV, or use streaming apps on your smart TV.

Connect Reolink camera to Vizio TV via Reolink NVR

To connect your Reolink camera to a Vizio TV, you can use a Reolink NVR (Network Video Recorder). This is a simple and reliable method that only requires a few steps.

First, you need to ensure that your Reolink camera model is compatible with the NVR. Not all Reolink cameras work with NVRs, so it is important to check the Reolink support page to confirm compatibility. Once you have confirmed compatibility, you can proceed with the following steps:

• Connect your Reolink camera to the NVR using Ethernet cables. If you are using a wireless Reolink camera, such as the RLC-511WA or E1 Zoom, you can skip this step as these cameras will connect directly to the NVR.
• Use an HDMI cable to connect the NVR to your Vizio TV. This will allow you to view the live feed from your Reolink camera on your TV.
• Power the NVR using the provided power adapter.
• Turn on your Vizio TV, and you should now see the live view from your Reolink camera displayed on the screen.

Using an NVR for connecting your Reolink camera to your Vizio TV offers several benefits. It provides easy wiring with no connection failure, large storage space for continuous recording, the ability to work without a network connection, and a more stable signal.

In addition to using an NVR, there are alternative methods to connect your Reolink camera to your Vizio TV. These include using an IP-camera-to-HDMI converter/decoder, setting up a DLNA server on your PC, using streaming devices such as Google Chromecast or Apple TV, or downloading streaming apps directly to your smart TV. However, these methods may require additional technical knowledge and may not provide the same level of reliability as using a Reolink NVR.
