New to BI

Evening All,
So i've slowly been getting into home security cameras over the past year and almost immediately found recommendations for BI. Finally purchased BI5 this weekend and i've got a few questions to start:
1. Is there some type of beginners user guide for setup? I've tried searching this forum, but can't find a basic starting guide.
2. The couple cameras I have a currently on Reolink's software. Do I have to remove them from there before adding to BI?
3. Do you need to configure your router to ensure a POE camera has a static IP before linking to BI?
I'm decently versed in home networking basics, but still learning as i go. I'm running an Elitedesk i7-6700 that i picked up refurbished and currently have 2 Reolink cameras (1 POE and 1 WIFI).
Thanks in advance!
