Seeing this error. When I check the logs I do not see any stack traces, I just see this warning

@NickM-27 did you perhaps block internet acces for the Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi? Did you try checking for firmware updates in the reolink app/client? Does that succeed, or does that also give an error?
I will make sure that the integration can setup, even if a error occurs in the firmware update check.

Yes I have all my cameras blocked from WAN, only internal communication is allowed. In the app checking for update just says no update available, wouldn't surprise me if they are just saying that and masking the fact that there is an error.
@NickM-27 yea if internet is blocked it is of course impossible to check for new firmware versions on the reolink servers. So the app/client must fail, it apperently is indeed just masking that it had an error. I will make sure the integration will not fail to setup, but of course the update entity will be marked as unavailable because it can not function if internet is blocked. Working on it now.
@NickM-27 this PR https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/88797 schould fix the issue.
If you appreciate the reolink integration and want to support its development, please consider sponsering the upstream library.
Fixed in #88797
