unlikely to enshitify.
That might be some wishful thinking. I tried getting some Reolink cameras a neighbor decided to buy on his own, to work with Blue Iris the other day, there was no way to configure them without installing their shitty app. All they have to do is just like every other not-shitty camera, enable DHCP, RTSP and ONVIF by default and then fuck off. But that’s not happening.
I told him to send them back, I wasn’t going to deal with them.





Except they’re not all that affordable for the features. Not many that are POE, and their MP/optizoom compared to cameras half their price isn’t great. I can get Amcrest or Vikylin for less, and have everything that Reolink doesn’t out of the box. You also have to be careful with them that you don’t get Reolink NVR-locked cameras.
I’ve heard Reolink touted a lot and so far I’m not seeing the advantage.
