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?

I have 2 rc410 poe cameras (used for 4 yeara and the doorbell. I can't say enough good things about them. Good quality, completely local and really tight home assistant integration, I don't even use frigate now because of the integration. The quality and price is very good IMO.
