Q: QuestionWill this work with a Reolnk NVR and cameras

Asked 5 months ago by Dann.

This question was asked about the related product: Amazon - Echo Show 5 (newest model), Smart display with Alexa+, 2x the bass and clearer sound - Charcoal

• A:Answer Hello Dann and thank you for your question! Many Reolink cameras work with Alexa for live viewing and notifications via voice commands. It appears that Reolink NVR systems themselves generally don't support Alexa directly for smart home functions, though individual compatible cameras can be linked through the Reolink app's Smart Home Skill for Alexa, allowing you to view feeds or get alerts on Echo devices. You need to check compatibility for your specific camera model and ensure it's update. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Q: QuestionDoes the screen stay on if I want to monitor kids at night?

Asked 8 months ago by CJ.

This question was asked about the related product: Amazon - Echo Show 5 (newest model), Smart display with Alexa+, 2x the bass and clearer sound - Charcoal

• A:Answer Hello CJ, thank you for your question. Yes, an Echo Show 5's screen can stay on for "live view" when set up with the Home Monitoring feature to keep an eye on your kids, allowing you to see the camera feed from the Alexa app or another Echo device. While the screen can be manually turned off with a voice command like "Alexa, turn off the screen," the screen will automatically sleep to save energy after a set period of inactivity, but you can disable this auto-sleep in the settings. You can enable Home Monitoring in the device settings under Privacy & Permissions to use the Echo Show 5 as a baby monitor. I hope that helps, have a great day!
