I have four Reolink cameras configured in Scrypted: two Altas battery-powered cameras and two other cameras with external power (an E1 Zoom and a Duo 3 WiFi). Everything has been working well with Scrypted managing all four cameras.

I activated an NVR trial subscription and added all four cameras to it. Within the two-day trial period, both Altas cameras drained their battery completely even while connected to power. One won't power on at all now. The other will power on but won't connect to the network and the hard-reset button presses do not seem to do anything at all.

So I have two cameras, purchased at different places and different times, in continuous service for months now, all working correctly in Scrypted and the official Reolink client, which stopped functioning pretty much as soon as Scrypted NVR was enabled. It's hard to believe that these events are unconnected.

Am I the only one to see this type of behavior? Does anyone have advice on what to do about it?

Thanks.
