Is Reolink RLC-840WA supported in BI? Also, is there another outdoor dome WiFi cam I should look at?

Getting the hang of it

I need to replace an old Hikvision WiFi 2.8mm compact dome camera. Unfortunately, at this point I can't really run PoE to location.
So, I looked for similar WiFi cams.
Using Copilot I found Reolink RLC-840WA. Is this supported by BI? Other cams I should look at? Don't really need PTZ, but a bit more view angle woudl be great.

In short, "yes" but I would not recommend any brand of 8MP camera with a tiny 1/2.49" sensor as it will have terrible low light performance if there's any motion.
Additionally, Reolink cameras (except their video doorbell) have a terrible reputation with BI.

thanks. I think I cornered myself a bit with my WiFi requirement. I don't think there is any other meaningful WiFi camera out there like this....

What is the Old Hikvision model number?

First, I'd look for a Hikvision OEM replacement, or Dahua OEM replacement.

My old is a Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS. I believe there was a successor DS-2CD2543G2-IWS. For some reason I was under the impression that the DS-2CD2543G2-IWS was already discontinued. But I think it is still current

How woudl the DS-2CD2543G2-IWS stack up against the Reolink?
