I have a Reolink Eco (the solar powered totally wireless unit) mounted on my barn watching my lane. I have it setup without cloud storage-it just has a 64GB memory card that I can access for playback wirelessly through the Reolink app on my phone. I'd like to be able to easily call up the live camera footage via my FireTV web browser, but I'm having trouble with it. According to Reolink I'm supposed to just be able to type the IP address of the camera (the camera is on the same network as everything else in my home), login with the username and password and view the live footage. So far I can't even get the page to load in Chrome on my laptop let alone on either browser installed on my Fire TV (Firefox and Amazon's proprietary browser)-anybody have any ideas? This is what I get when I try to access the IP address:

Did you try with https://CAMERA-IP-ADDRESS ??
It is quite possible that the camera uses a nonstandard port for web access.

The reolink hep page -- https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-u...ess-Reolink-Cameras-Locally-via-a-Web-Browser says that you may have to add a port number. They have a link on how to find it.

https doesn't work. I had found that link on the Reolink page, but from there it says this:

"Note: If you don’t know the HTTP port of your device or you have changed the port number, click here to see how to find their current value via Reolink Client. "

The link to the page that details how to find the port number conveniently doesn't work...
