Comment on Standalone cameras
TheInsane42@lemmy.world 14 hours ago Thanks, I’ve targeted the Reolink TrackMix P670 (white) of the one on their own site (black, but at discount). Colour doesn’t matter to much (house is green, so it’ll not match anyway), but I’ve asked around if the colour of the lower part is the only difference (looks like it’s only that, no technical difference).
Motion should be ablt to access the camera via the rsvp uri. Haven’t found any reviews when used that way. (all on YT show the proprietary software)

Be aware that you may need to temporarily use reolink’s app to set it up first - turn on the ports, for rtsp/onvif/http(s) then you can trash the app.
I think the HA integration will use the proprietary port/api for setup and you can avoid that way too, but don’t quote me on that one, you may want to confirm first.
I have some old phones laying around, they can be used for the initial setup. The PoE connection should be completely isolated. (that’s the idea)
