Using any p2p opens you up to vulnerabilities. Reolink P2P Cameras - (I)IoT Security News you cannot trust any of these china manufactures to implement a secure p2p setup.
New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?
- Thread starter Elton Noway
- Start date
Looking for a doorbell poe cam. I am familiar with their camera and app, is all the functionality youd expect there? Like I would expect the following:
1. get notified to reolink app when a person rings the doorbell and be able to talk to the person
2. have it upload recordings to ftp
And also, do I need BI with this or it can work without it?
I actually ordered one just now since its $80 for black friday and didnt want to miss out on saving $10.

I completely agree, I have mine firewall segregated into a separate VLAN with access to the internet but not my regular internal network or my NVR. It is currently dedicated to only announcing front door, recording to SDCard and being accessed via P2P on the web. I do have loopback enabled so I can access it from my LAN on my cell phone only, but it can’t get to my LAN or NVR network. P2P should be only used when you know how to segregate and separate it from your internal network properly.
LOL! I didn't know what P2P meant in their literature. I thought it was some kind of SIP mode. I looked it up after reading your reply. I know little bit more now.
I've never used Blue Iris, but my NVR has talkback support. I think it needs a camera that supports SIP. I was wondering if anyone had tried the talkback functionality through their NVR or Blue Iris with this camera. Right now I have a front door camera that supports talkback, but I can only talk back to someone using the (ancient) iOS app that came with the camera--the talkback protocol seems to be proprietary and doesn't work with my NVR.
Watch this for feedback on the audio talk back features. You will likely need to use their app.

From Reolink Customer Support after I asked for updated firmware that allows constant framerate and setting the iframe:
They asked for some sample night videos to use as examples and I shared a few. Hopefully this firmware comes soon with this relatively simple fix.
Reolink said:Thanks for your updated information.
We know that currently, the 8MP cameras have the option to choose a fixed frame rate, which is not available on the Doorbell cameras yet.
We will submit a request to our developers. But we still need some videos for analysis as well.
If it's convenient, would you please send us one or two recordings of the night vision in High resolution so we could analyze them? That would be helpful for us to make improvements to the new firmware as well.

HomeAssistant and Reolink Doorbell POE
Evening guys, Well I have received my new POE doorbell and if works perfectly save for two things which I hope will have been sorted with HomeAssistant. Due to going for the POE for stability in my network setup I have had to forgo the option of receiving “Rich” Notifications. I hoped to solve...

Geesh. Thanks for the link. Now I have a full scrypted server/bridge setup with my cameras for HomeKit integration. That occupied me for a few hours last night.
They followed back up and said they are considering adding fixed frame in near future.

Getting comfortable
I emailed Reolink support with the same framerate/iframe request but got a more generic response:
