I have a reolink doorbell, running local-only. It records to my Synology nas, and is integrated with home assistant for ring notifications.
Comment on Doorbell Camera / NVR (post Unifi)
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 days agoHow do you use Reolink? I’ve heard other people mention it, meaning do you need an NVR, or HomeAssistant, does it work in Unifi, curious how you use it

Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 2 days ago Try LazyNVR for reolink cameras, it’s very lightweight and a different take than frigate codeberg.org/LazyNVR/lazynvr-sources

You don’t need an NVR. The camera supports a microSD card to store footage. It also supports FTP upload.
HomeAssistant isn’t required. It is supported and I do have it configured.
I have next to no recollection of how UniFi works so I can’t speak to that. Mine is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. IIRC that’s all it supports. Might be different with newer models.
It also supports HTTP(S)/RTMP/RTSP/ONVIF streaming. Though I tend to just use the app (and I’m particular about installing apps) as I find it quite usable.
