That's great to hear Cynthia. Does the same apply to Amazon Echo devices (Echo Show)? (Both the POE trick and the future case where we don't need to use a POE switch).

One other issue with the Echo devices is that they only support H264 streams, so for the 4k systems (which I have) I need to force the skill to use the sub channel (limited to 640x???), which I'm not sure is possible with the current skill. Would be nice if I could bump up the resolution on the sub channel.

@mdunning - there are a couple of issues with using the Synology Surveillance software. First is licensing cost - it's more expensive than the Reolink NVR! Second is that the AI camera detection does not work (only works with the Reolink NVR).

Tx!

I'm brand new to Reolink (just got my system yesterday), but this seems like a severe limitation. My old Zmodo cameras can be attached to the Zmodo NVR and my Synology workstation and still be seen by a third party app like Tiny Cam and be shown on Alexa/Google home (via the Zmodo NVR or Synology). I don't know why the Reolink NVR doesn't expose the cameras, but I'm seriously considering returning the NVR if I can't make this work.
