How were you able to get that to work? I just got a Reolink Doorbell camera and couldn't get it to work on anything outside the Reolink client/app. I can't even access it from a browser. All their documentation seems to indicate that it does not support it.

Although the other cameras I got from them just had an option to turn it on.

I think you gotta use the app to provision and then turn on the RTSP or ONVINF settings in there, then once you have the IP address, you just add the RTSP stream to Frigate

Dang, those options do not show up for me. It does for the other plugin cameras, but not for the battery doorbell camera. I wonder if they patched that out of the app.
