Hello Everyone,
I’m pulling my hair for a few days now. I have 6 Reolink RLC-810A cameras connected to NVR Model RLN8-410. I added Reolink Integration from HACS and tried to add my cameras to HA however when i log in it does not show my cameras, see the picture below
If I connect my cameras to the switch directly (not using NVR) I don’t have any problem!
Before you ask The ONVIF protocol is enabled on the NVR!
I could kill to make the NVR work with my HS, Please HELP
I too was having issues with motion detection, so I went with this method
Reolink NVR Camera(s) in Home Assistant
For example, if your Reolink NVR has the following information,
IP address: 192.168.86.17
username: admin
password: 123456
You may also change the channel number (starts at 0) to recieve different channels.
Motion detection (configuration.yaml)
binary_sensor:

Camera (configuration.yaml)

Use Picture Glance Card to view camera in HA
Works flawless
@tteck Thank you! This worked to obtain motion events from my Reolink cameras via the NVR. Great work
Great! light and performing, in fact it is of little use to see the video streaming, the important thing is to be able to intercept the alarms !!!
THANK YOU!
Hi, silly question, do I just add these lines to the configuration.yaml file? You have mentioned “Motion detection (configuration.yaml)” and " Camera (configuration.yaml)"
Yes, if you don’t have a split configuration.
Does this work with the pet/animal detection?
Would it just be: value_template: ‘{{ value_json[0].value.animal.alarm_state }}’?
I’ve added all these sensors I’m not getting any updates, it always shows clear. Any ideas?
Not sure what they’re calling it (not running that firmware), try “pet” 
I’ll update if I find anything.
