As others have said you can set these Reolink PoE cameras up on different systems without using their app forever.
I for one have set up Reolink cameras on Synology's Surveillance Station successfully after a one time setup with Reolink's app. Meaning I used their app to get it connected to my WiFi and then immediately set the camera's DNS etc. to it's own IP.
Once that was accomplished I set up the camera on Synology and now I only use Synology's app for access. In no way does Reolink successfully phone home after this. While it isn't ideal it's pretty great once this is completed.
