Reolink NVR with other brand cameras?

[james1549_342697892462735]

New here. Just installed my Reolink NVR 5mp 8 channel camera system. With some channels empty, I eventually plan to fill them. Can other POE brand cameras work with this NVR? I need a few cameras with a wider angle lens, maybe even a 180° for fun.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks, James

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.
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.

@aleleu62_232174521270407 : same problem, can't add rtsp or onvif camera, no input for credential... i think they have remove the possibility (with a WiFi camera)
