I'm using 3 Reolink E1 Outdoor Pros and their wired doorbell with Blue Iris (NVR software). I can also view all 4 cams on my Roku TV's with an app available in their channel store. All 4 cams show up in each of my TV's screensaver as well.
I have not integrated them into my Polisy, although it might be possible as they are all capable of RTSP. I also know that some Reolink cameras are not RTSP capable. I like Reolink - they are subscription free and just work well for a mid-priced camera.
As for your list of cameras, try visiting their manufacturer's website for their specs.
Also, see this thread for some ideas:

If the LED has a rocker on them they aren't likely to be designed to dim and they will do odd things depending on how you dim and will fail sooner. Flickering and humming are normal with a lot of switched LED panels when you try to dim them.
It might be better to go with a lutron dimmer and the adapter package with new LED Lights that @peterathans suggested if you want the lights to last and have full control of them.The lights I purchased do dim, as their description says (linked to them in a previous post). They can also change color temp (not programmable - set and forget).
I ended up using Insteon 2476D's - I hardwired the lights to the switches in the cabinets (replacing the plugs which we never use) and they work perfectly.
the 2476D is their dimmable rocker.

We just finished a kitchen remodel and I'm using the Zooz Zen72-800LR dimmers to control outlets. Into the outlets I've plugged in these dimmable LED strip drivers.
They work fantastic and can dim smoothly down to zero.
The outlets in my cabinets are not switched. I suppose a work-a-round would be to add a switch somehow.
The lights themselves have a rocker switch on them, so they are either on or off. Instructions say they are dimmable, however - they would work with that switch, but I need to use the outlets in the cabinets somehow.

I use the insteon for mine. The dimming of LED's is very tricky though because they draw so little the dimming might not dim enough for you. Did the lights come with a dimming color module?

I a surprised an LED lighting module is three prong. I have this for a curio with an LED.https://shop.insteon.com/products/dimmer-module
I have various sizes of these. They look great, and yes, I'm a little surprised by the 3-prong plug. The instructions do have a direct wire option, however.

I looked at the Insteon plug you linked to - it's 2 prong.

I have some LED under cabinet lighting (not LED strips) that I would like to dim. I have a Polisy, some z-wave, Kasa and lots of Insteon stuff. I'm also an Alexa user.
The lights have 3-prong plugs on them and they plug into outlets located inside the cabinets. The instructions say they are dimmable.
I saw this, but the reviews and brand doesn't impress me (if it had great reviews I would have likely tried it):

I'm looking for ideas on how to add smart dimming capability to my under counter lighting.

Updated my Polisy without issue.

Post your question here:
-
Updated my Polisy this morning. It went perfectly.
-
Updated my Polisy without a hitch - thank you.

All is well here now. I lost connection around 4am Eastern, but it's back now.

And me... (Polisy)

Updated without issue.

Hmmm, my paid Kasa Nodeserver is staying Disconnected. And in the Admin Console, I see my 3 lights but their pages have not been populated with any data. Rather new to the eISY and Polyglot, so please forgive the "newbie" question, but what should I try?
BTW, may or may not be relevant, but along with all the other updates I just did, I had to restore a new PLM with a 3 month old backup (due to link table corruption).
Thank you in advance!
Jeff
You may be better off posting your Kasa question here:

Power cycling resolved issue and is back up now. I’m gonna throw a smart plug on it so I can power cycle remotely.
Yep - I did that about 6 months ago to save me from having to crawl under my desk extension.

It's under Me/Kasa Lab as a Beta feature. (The 'Me' menu is in the lower right hand corner of the screen.)
I saw it today by accident when updating the firmware on one of my devices.
Coincidentally, about a week ago I switched to UD Mobile for my geofencing needs, as Alexa's geofencing (been using it for a few years) started giving me issues. So far so good with UD Mobile.
I have not enabled or tried Kasa's version.

Trying to update the firmware from 4.9.0 to the latest (5.x) there is no automatic update, just manual. I thought there was an automatic update option. If not, where do get the update file?
Click on the link above - instructions are there as well.

The Zwave backup option is only available on Polisy/Eisy when you have the Zmatter board from UD.
Thank you! Did not know that, or there was even a separate backup possible for Z-wave.

Are you running the Zmatter board or another Zwave stick? Are your Zwave devices named ZWXXX or ZYXXX?
Zmatter board: No
Zwave stick: Yes (USB)
Zwave devices: Named ZW00x
I'm running a Polisy

Updated this morning - it went smoothly.
I do have a question about the instruction process I saw here:
In step 2 it is recommended we do a Z-Wave backup:
***
2. Run IoX Backup (NOTE: if running Z-Wave run Z-wave backup first then IoX backup)
Menu -> Z-Wave -> Backup -> Click "Yes" to update/replace Z-Wave backup
***
I do not have that option - Am I missing something?

Wow - a lot of posts since I chimed in - glad you got it sorted - sorry for the misinformation earlier.

The link above may not help you - it's for resetting the Portal's password.
Recommendations for RTSP Video Surveillance Camera

The stream address I use for my Roku's is the one provided by Blue Iris and not the cameras directly. Nothing goes to the cloud here, and I don't have any ports forwarded.
You can use VLC to test various direct streams from your Reolink cameras. The Reolink website has a few good tutorials that show you how to discover them and make that happen based on the model cam you have.
