The Google search AI says that Reolink Doorbell battery version cannot record full time. I have wires from my old door bell (18 Volt AC) but I don't know if the NVR can record full time from this camera when the camera is wired?

Do I need to get the Reolink Doorbell WiFi version if I want to record 24/7 (which unfortunately would not ring my existing chime). I also don't understand how the NVR would record anything from a battery camera that comes and goes offline instead of the (rtsp/onvif) stream being always available. Can anybody help understand what is going on with these Reolink cameras and which one should I pick to record on an NVR (Synology Surveillance Station)?

Thanks.

Hi @blocksog

basically : you will need wired power for any camera that you want to record 24/7
