Reolink NVR to Home Assistant Issue

Configuration
2

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.
