Question about Reolink security cameras (slrpnk.net)

Hey guys,

I've absolutely had it with my Ring camera and doorbell, ive started using a network wide VPN and they are just too unreliable and expensive to continue - let alone actively blocking IPs from VPNs which I didnt know about and think is ridiculous.

I have looked in to Reolink cameras because I've seen someone talking about them before on lemmy, question is:

Have any of you used Reolink cameras and NVR in your setup and how well does it integrate / whats your opinion on the cameras themselves?

Not a full answer to your question, but I have a reolink doorbell cam and it works well and integrates easily into my home assistant setup. I hooked it up to my existing doorbell wires, though it does have the option for POE. I don't care about long term storage of the feed, so I just have a 256gb SD card in it which is overkill for my use. I've had it since Julyish and I'm only a bit over halfway full.
