Set up Reolink Doorbell video with BlueIris

I recently purchased a Reolink Video Doorbell PoE on Amazon prime day to replace the Comfort intercom thats going on 20 years old. I selected this item over others as it supposedly integrates with BlueIris which I use for all my other surveillance cameras.

There's no distinct guide for setting this up that I could find, so here's what I did, for posterity.

Best Triple Monitor USB-C Dock I've used

I've bought my fair share of docks and peripherals over the years as I love multi-monitor work set ups. My main workstation comprised a client issued HP corporate laptop that I used with a couple of older Dell U3014 30" displays. This was nice, but I was itching to add a third display that I had lying around and found an adapter that works perfectly.

It's a 'Selore' branded USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter,7 in 1 USB C Docking Station to Dual HDMI Displayport VGA Adapter,USB C to 3USB 2.0, Multi Monitor Adapter. I'm sure there are plenty of versions and brands of this, but this one does the job.

It's got 2x HDMI outputs and a Display Port. I connected up my 3x 30" panels, et volia!

Unfortunately, this only works its magic with Windows as it seems to be able to mirror on Macs, but not span. For now, though, I'm happy with it and can multitask happily.
