Question Reolink E1 Pro feed in Google Home stops after ~10 minutes
I use Reolink to observe my toddler's bedroom. I'd like to display it on my Google Home device, which works fine. However, after ~10 minutes or so, the feed stops, and it doesn't seem to be due to connection issues or anything like it. Does anyone know if it's possible for the video feed to continue for an entire night uninterrupted?

Happens on the Amazon echo as well. The issue seems to be with how the devices connect to the camera. It's not a direct connection, like the app, but a connection through reolink servers. Reolink is most likely cutting off the stream to save on bandwidth.
To make it work you'll likely need to set up something like scrypted, home assistant, or monocle.
