Currently, you can connect our PoE cameras and Wifi wired cameras to the Google Assistant/Alexa. But for the cameras under the NVR, it is not possible at the moment.
 
If you do want to live view on the Google Home/Alexa for the cameras under NVR, use a PoE switch and you can realize this.

Three Steps to Connect the Reolink Cameras under NVR to Google Assistant/Alexa

 
1. Connect a PoE switch to the same router that your NVR is connected to first. Then connect your camera under the PoE switch.

 
2. Add the cameras to the APP and NVR
For the APP:
You can scan the device in LAN or scan the UID code of the cameras and add the cameras to the APP.
 
For the NVR:
To add the cameras to the NVR, you may need to enable the “Auto-add” on the NVR monitor. You can follow this article to enable the function.

3. Connect the standalone cameras to the Google Assistant/Alexa in the APP.

In this situation, you can both connect the cameras to Google Assistant/Alexa and manage the cameras on the NVR.
 
Note: This method can’t be used for cameras in the NVR kits.
