Setting up Reolink app for Moormesh Alerts

Setting Up Your Reolink Camera with MoorMesh

This guide walks you through connecting your Reolink 4G camera to MoorMesh so alerts can be processed and shared with your club.

⚠️ Before You Start

Before setting anything up in MoorMesh, make sure:

• Your camera is fully set up in the Reolink app
• You can connect to it and view the live feed on your phone
• Motion alerts are enabled in the Reolink app
• Telegram is set up and connected to MoorMesh (important for real-time alerts)

All camera configuration is done in the Reolink app — MoorMesh simply receives and processes alerts.

Step 1: Register Your Camera in MoorMesh

1. Log in at moormesh.com
2. Go to My Boats
3. Click Add Camera
4. Enter a clear name (e.g. Interior camera)
5. Click Register Camera

👉 You can also reach this step during onboarding.

Step 2: Copy Your Unique Email Settings

After registering, MoorMesh generates a unique email configuration for your camera.

This is how your camera communicates with MoorMesh.

You’ll see:

• SMTP Server
• Port
• Username (starts with cam_)
• Password
• Sender Email (FROM)
• Recipient Email (TO – ends in cloudmailin.net)

⚠️ These are unique to your camera.

⚠️ You must enter them exactly as shown.

Step 3: Enter Settings in the Reolink App

In the Reolink app:

1. Open your camera
2. Tap the settings (⚙️ icon)
3. Go to:

• • Notifications
  • Email Alerts

4. 
5. Enter the settings from MoorMesh:

Important:

• Sender Email = the cam_...@moormesh.com address
• Recipient Email = the cloudmailin.net address
• SSL/TLS = ON
• Port = 587

💡 Tip:

If you’re using iPhone + Mac, copy/paste directly.

Otherwise, log into MoorMesh on your phone to avoid typing errors.

Step 4: Save and Trigger Test Alert

When you tap Save in the Reolink app:

• The camera sends a test email
• This triggers a real MoorMesh alert

Step 5: Cancel the Test Alert (Within 90 Seconds)

If Telegram is set up, you’ll instantly receive:

⚠️ Motion detected on your boat

You’ll have 90 seconds to cancel it. If not, please check your email as you'll have a similar email.

Tap the link in the message.

You’ll see a confirmation screen showing:

• Alert cancelled successfully
• Your club was not notified

After cancelling:

• No further MoorMesh alerts will trigger for 5 minutes
• This prevents repeated false alarms during setup

✅ That’s It

Your camera is now connected to MoorMesh and ready to send alerts.

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

• Incorrect email settings (most common issue)
• Sender/Recipient emails mixed up
• Missing characters in the password
• Telegram not set up (you’ll miss the 90-second cancel window unless you check your email)
