Thank you ! -
Please see this compatibility note for Reolink cameras:
https://forum.monoclecam.com/topic/48/reolink-compatibility-readmeThanks, Robert

Ok so always problem with Reolink & Alexa ?
-
As far as we know, Reolink Argus cameras don’t support RTSP and all other ReoLink cameras require using our Monocle Gateway software to achieve compatibility. Or course Amazon could fix the issue in Alexa or Reolink could fix it in an updated firmware, but at this point we are not aware of any such fixes. So it should be able to work now, but you would have to use the Monocle Gateway locally.
Thanks, Robert
