Recommended video doorbell for Reolink NVR?

doucettea

Hello,
What doorbell camera models are known to work with a Reolink NVR?
Reolink's pages indicate that a camera that supports ONVIF will work. However, a web search will show many users having bought ONVIF cameras and finding them to be incompatible with Reolink (for example, the "Nelly's Security" model).
I would like a doorbell camera that essentially has the functionality of something like a Ring doorbell but is recorded by the Reolink NVR.
1) is powered by home doorbell transformer, 2) connects by wifi to home network and Reolink NVR, 3) has motion detection to record events in view of the camera, and 4) will send me alerts with video and 2-way audio when the doorbell button is pressed.

I am considering purchasing the Reolink RLK8-810B4-A
Which doorbell cameras will support that NVR and the above feature set?

Thank you,
Ari

Bump?
Are there recommendations for doorbell cameras that are compatible with reolink?

Sorry that we do not have a recommendation for the doorbell camera.
It is not recommended to use a third-party camera on Reolink NVR since there may be compatibility problems, and it is difficult for us to troubleshoot on the third-party camera. We recommend you to use Reolink Cameras on Reolink NVR. If you want to know more about which Reolink Cameras can work with Reolink NVR, please refer to:

Which Reolink Cameras can Work with Reolink NVR

After considering compatibility issues, if you still want to use 3rd party cameras with Reolink NVRs, you could choose cameras that support ONVIF and RTSP protocols.

If the cameras support Onvif but could not work with Reolink NVR, there may be some compatibility problems and we do not have a better solution yet.

Thanks for your understanding.
