Command definition
scan.mddescription: Discover Reolink devices on the local network (UDP broadcast, 2s)
Run `reolink-cli discover --output json` and parse the `data.devices[]` array. Report each device as one line:
<host> uid=<uid> "<name-from-scopes>"
If no devices found, say so plainly and mention that UDP broadcast doesn't cross subnets — if the user's cameras are on another VLAN they will not show up here.
Do not re-scan with longer timeouts unless the user explicitly asks. The default 2 s already catches everything on the local broadcast domain.
Official command-line tool for Reolink IP cameras, doorbells and NVRs — LAN only, no cloud. Snapshots, PTZ, RTSP/RTMP stream URLs, two-way audio (talkback/TTS), motion and AI detection, event monitoring, VOD download. JSON output and a built-in MCP server. Works with Home Assistant, Frigate and go2rtc.
