Many people's homes have soffit or wall mounted floodlights that could be easily replaced with a wifi floodlight/camera combination capable of recording 24/7. Very often it is difficult or impossible to run an ethernet cable to these locations. I think it would be a big seller for Reolink. Are there any plans for something like this?

It would be great if the Reolink NVR was recognized by Alexa so I can pull up the video feed on my Alexa enabled devices. Are there any plans to make that happen? Thanks, Randy

After ordering and installing two RLC810 cameras and the RLN8-410 NVR, I unfortunately learned that it is not possible to connect the NVR to Alexa in order to view the cameras on Alexa enabled Smart TV's. The only way to do that would be to install an Ethernet POE switch/power injector in place of the NVR....thereby making my purchase of the NVR a complete waste of money. In addition to having to purchase the POE switch, I would also have to purchase SD cards for the cameras in order to record events.

My Alexa enabled TV's work great with Ring cameras....all I need to do while watching TV is to ask Alexa to show me the backyard and it immediately pops up on the screen. The 4K Reolink camera system I purchased is wonderful, but I hope that Reolink technicians will read this and make their NVR compatible with Alexa in the near future.
