I also have a Reolink on my house it's the 820 model I believe. You don't need the reolink software, the camera has a webinterface on it and that's all you need to configure it.
I run it to Zoneminder. It came in tremendous assistance to my neighbor when her rental car was sideswiped at midnight and I caught it on the camera.

I’ve had pretty good luck with a pair of Reolink RLC-520A PoE outdoor cameras. they have both a low and a high resolution video streams. They have various features built in that I don’t use. I just capture with ffmpeg or you can use Zoneminder etc. if routing cable is not possible, there are wi-fi versions. Some capture onto SD drive. the reolink software is windows only but works well in WINE for initial setup. I then set my router to fixed IP reservation and block the cameras from the internet. -Ed
