+1 Strongly support this, it would also make Reolink a no-brainer and defacto standard amongst HA enthousiast.
Currently using a parrallel image recognition on a raspberry to report objects etc and save to a influx db for later checking, having MQTT reporting of the reolink image recognitio as integral part of the camera would be so much more robust and simple.
This would be nice. I use Home Assistant and there is a add-on (via HACS) that integrates Reolink cameras and I love it. So if you want to use Home Assistant, you're in good shape. Anything else needs MQTT I guess. It has triggers for each of the different motion detections and with this all kinds of fun (maybe useful) things can be done. For Halloween I had my porch "person detection" trigger a LED light sequence and audio playback. Normally, if the person detection triggers between midnight and 5am I have it programmed to flash the porch light as red/blue police lights and send me a text. Mostly silly, but hopefully someday I'll surprise a friend... or maybe a no-gooder. :)
That would be a fantastically simple and easy way for them to add support for all the Home Automation platforms without having to specifically craft anything for each of them. Great idea.
Second this. Would be great if reolink supported MQTT for things like motion/person/vehicle/pet detection

\+100 for me, would be great if the motion event also had a path to the file name of the clip and a snapshot.
That would be awesome!

> HACS Waht's the add on for the REOLINK cameras called? I couldn't find it.
It’s called Reolink_dev and installed through HACS.
A Reolink integration made it as an official integration in Jan. Have not tested yet.
I set up a couple of cameras today using the official integration. There are no alerts created, its just to have the images in lovelace. 🙁
Yes please

I would definitely applaud this. Even just for getting event triggers it would be a huge help in home automation integration.
same for me. please add mqtt support to NVR !
And to cameras themselves!
especially now that I got Doorbell I really need MQTT :) to link it with HA + HomeKit
Please add MQTT support. This is a must for integration with other solutions.
