Reolink says phone push alerts and live view are unavailable without internet for this doorbell; local SD recording continues.

02 / THE INSTALLATION TEST

What else you need.

Wired power, microSD card or NVR, appropriate Wi-Fi/network setup.

Hardware that stores data locally can still depend on a vendor account, app activation, supported firmware or an internet connection for certain functions.
