Built inLocal pushPlatinum

The Reolink integration allows you to control Reolink NVRs or cameras. Reolink cameras are known for their local storage, without the need for a cloud subscription or account. Reolink cameras can operate fully locally on your network, putting privacy first. When blocking internet access for the Reolink devices, the Home Assistant integration, as well as the Reolink app/client, will continue to work as usual. Reolink cameras provide excellent day- and nighttime video clarity at an affordable pric

What people report

Most Reolink cameras, NVRs and doorbells are supported locally with push events; many problems trace to Reolink firmware (NVR AI sensors, B800 snapshots, doorbell playback). Two-way audio arrived in late 2026.

I had all the same stuff as you. Went with ecobee , reolink cam and doorbell. Reolink works well and is simple to set up. Ecobee made changes to thre program so you have to set it up as a homekit device now. It is ok. Better than google nest but still not perfect.

Reolink and Dahua/Amcrest. I'm using both, and they both work well as cameras and with HA. Make sure to watch these videos too: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-51DG-VULPom8Ud6vdf56Oeq51yA2xlp There are a couple of videos on there about what to look for when shopping and setting up cameras. You also get pretty good, real views of what the cameras can do in different light situations. Personally, I think putting security cameras on Wi-Fi makes no sense except for circumstances when running wire is completely impractical. If you own the house, and you can source the correct tools, it's …

Vibration sensors rather than opening sensors. Window glasses are to be broken. Heiman siren as deterrent. It's loud. Tuya sirens are just speakers. Reolink cameras are the best for Home Assistant.

Reolink camerasWorks LocalIntegration uses camera API; person/car/animal detections appear as sensors

The Reolink HA integration uses Reolink API, which works the cameras built-in person/car/animal etc, detection. They appear in HA are individual sensors. So for example, I turn certain outdoor lights only when the a person is detected, and not just any motion. It’s very good and very simple. I find the cameras object detection very good on the whole, with few false positives once you have the sensitivity setting dialled in. However I use Scrypted to get my cameras into HomeKit. Scrypted is faster for loading feeds on my Apple TV and iPhones, but doesn’t have the feature of the Home Assistant …

I second Reolink, great quality for the money. 8 deployed for over 2 years without failure. Use their NVR mostly because I'm too lazy to finish my frigate config. Works in HA well and just exposed all of them to HomeKit with Homebridge. And so far all of their cameras were set up without any ability of monthly subscription bs.

Reolink PoE camerasWorks LocalEasy to add to HA; can be kept offline via VLAN or blocking p2p.reolink.com

Easiest way to block Reolink cameras from calling home?. Hi guys, I recently got into HA and want to add some Reolink POE cameras and connect them to my routers (via lan). I luckily still have some lan cables in some places in the house so I can add 2-3 cameras at critical places. I saw adding the cameras to HA and 2MQTT is quite easy, but what is concerning to me is that the cameras can call back to China when they are connected to the internet which I really don't want. I already googled but I am not sure if there is a quick and easy way to block them from having internet access? I have a …

Reolink PoE video doorbellWorks LocalVery reliable, no cloud; also used with Frigate

I can't speak for Ecobee as I use a Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave Tstat. I can however, highly recommend Reolink cameras. I have several of them, including the PoE doorbell and they've been super reliable. No cloud connectivity, so they're fully local.

Reolink PoE video doorbellWorks LocalFirst-class HA integration, 100% local, many sensors; 4 users agree
Saved copy
Reolink isn't even a "middle of the road" option IMO, at least not the doorbell. IMO it's a first class citizen when it comes to HA integration. 100% local, tons of sensors, responsive, clear image, etc. Ubiquity makes some good products but I would never pay $600 for a doorbell, that's crazy. The performance isn't even that great according to the round up that The Hookup youtube channel did. Reolink actually beats it in certain tests IIRC, which is crazy. See my comment here about local notifications via HA too. https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1c2czfs/comment/kz9kuui/

Reolink WiFi doorbellPartly works LocalIntegrates fine; video more reliable re-streamed through Frigate
Saved copy
I got the Wifi version about two weeks ago. Packaged nicely, looks decent, easy to set up, and integrated with HA without any trouble. I have it integrated with Home Assistant and Frigate. I find the video to be way more reliable when re-streamed through Frigate. Two downsides: First, it has a web interface but it isn't enabled out of the box. In order to enable the web interface you need to connect to it using the Reolink desktop app which is Windows/Mac only. Secondly, as someone else mentioned, the chime. It cannot leverage your existing chime if you have one and the plug in chime can't be …

Reolink WiFi video doorbellPartly works LocalSolid with Shelly 1 Mini relay for chime and Scrypted streaming; one user says chime fails
Saved copy
I've been running the reolink wifi doorbell with a shelly 1 mini for about 6 months now and it's been solid - the 4:3 aspect ratio is clutch for seeing packages and the local streaming through scrypted works great with your setup

Reolink Doorbell PoENot workingMedia browser playback stays grey; firmware rollback or freeing SD card helps
Saved copy
I had the same issue except I have a WiFi doorbell not a POE. The fix for me was rolling back the latest Reolink firmware upgrade that was pushed to me by Home Assistant and reinstalling the previous firmware version. I did this four times updating firmware through Reolink app and HA with the same results each time. Only the rolled back firmware version would allow me to view videos with the Reolink connection in the Media folder. My firmware versions are different than the POE firmware versions but I think Reolink publishes the current and roll back versions for the POE doorbell on their …

Reolink RLN12W NVRNot workingOne channel stays permanently unavailable while NVR live view works
Saved copy
The problem One camera channel on my Reolink NVR (RLN12W) is permanently marked "Unknown"/"Unavailable" by Home Assistant while: - The NVR's own web UI / live view shows the camera streaming normally - The other two channels on the same NVR (same physical setup, wired LAN, one of them the same camera model) work fine - Power-cycling the affected camera (LAN-powered via smart plug, not PoE) did not help - Rebooting the NVR (native restart button entity) did not help - Reloading the Reolink config entry repeatedly did not help The log shows a recurring warning that appears tied to the …

Limitations from the docs

  • 2-way audio or Text-to-speech is not available in the Reolink Home Assistant integration.
  • The 4K camera streams are H265 encoded, support for playing H265 encoding in browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari) is still very limited, therefore the 4K clear stream may not play in all browsers or on all phones in the Home Assistant Companion app. By default only the lower resolution Fluent camera …
