I have read that people had issues with mouses that didn't come with the Reolink kit. I've had mine for a month and never needed a keyboard for the NVR. I do have the software installed on my desktop so I can do any changes there if I need to. I also want to run an HDMI cable and mouse 15' straight up to my living room TV. I thought about just using a USB extended cable from Amazon. Let me know what you end up doing.

The house is about 4 months from being finished, so it will be a while.
Do you mind explaining what you mean by the software being installed on you computer and controlling it from there?
Can you install some software on a completely separate computer and use that software to control the system? If so, that would make things so much easier!
Im probably just going to run two HDMI cables in the wall, one to my office and one to my master bedroom TV so we can see the cameras when I'm working or from out bedroom. I'll need to run a HDMI splitter but those are common and shouldnt be a problem. I was going to try to get away with a wireless mouse when I'm in the office, but I doubt it will reach the master bedroom. If it works in the office I'm good with it.
Now if the mouse has issues with the system itself that's a new can of worms. I could always do USB over cat6, where each end of the cat6 cable plugs into a usb/cat6 adapter, but I'm yet to find a good review for one of those. I'll probably just try a bunch of stuff until something works...
