Confused on using Wireless Reolink Camera with my RLN8-410

Hi everyone. I read where there was a firmware update a while back where battery cameras can now be added to the NVR. I am not sure though if that is for all hardware versions.  I have the RLN8-410 Hardware Version N3MB01 that has the latest Firmware V3.4.0.293_24010837. If a Reolink Battery camera can be added, I have the following question:



I currently have the NVR in my garage connected to an Mesh hub that places the system on my wifi network. Does that work if a Battery Camera is then connected to the same network via the mesh? I would assume so.  Which battery camera has the longest life and would work best to record to my NVR when triggered only by motion? I know there is a 24/7 recording option but looking at something that has long battery life for motion triggered option and hopefully without the solar panel.



Thanks

@gogators93_419026618958065 You can connect Reolink cameras to the DVR via the LAN port, so yes, as long as you have a compatible WiFi camera, the LAN side (your mesh network) wiill register whatever compatible cameras are connected to it. I don't have any battery cameras so I can not help you with which ones have the best battery time. Not sure if it would void your warranty, but you might want to consider a model with removable batteries so you can swap the batteries in lieu of charging the camera directly.
