Reolink doorbell

[mcvpjd3]

I've been told that these Reolink doorbells work with BlueIris, however, can't seem to find any info about if you need to have the reolink Hub as well for this to work or if you can connect them to BI without the hub, anyone here know?

I can see that the new battery version has an oval around the camera lens and I don't know about that camera. I think you are looking at the original doorbell camera with the circle around the camera - I have the POE version with the circle. If that is correct, you do not need a Reolink hub. My POE Reolink doorbell is connected directly by ethernet cable to my CCTV POE ethernet switch. This is on a separate isolated LAN to stop it calling the mothership. You do have to log in to the device to set up RTSP/ONVIF etc for BI5, but it's not difficult if you are used to IP cameras. My isolated system does mean I can't use the Reolink App or the speak functions, but they were of no use to me. I needed the ONVIF "Visitor" command which is actually "doorbell pushed" for my Homeseer home automation. It also sends "motion" and "person" ONVIF commands. A good piece of kit and working well here. With no Reolink hub
