I have an Argus Eco battery camera that has worked with the Neolink addon albeit without much stability.
When it did work it drained the battery so quickly that it was still unusable really.
I recently installed the latest version but this seems worse in terms of stability but I am not sure why.
The log reads as follows:

I can send you my whole TOML file too if this helps but it is largely the vanilla example with just my specific camera ip and UID etc added:
timeout = 20 # How long to wait after motion stops before pausing
If you use a battery camera: Instead of an address supply the uid
as follows
uid = "ABCD01234567890EFG"
I tried removing the camera pause config lines as you can see but this has made little difference.
That said, discovery wasn't finding the camera at all until I added the IP address which wasn't needed in the previous version (just UID) so I suspect it may be a network issue.
Thanks for putting this addon together, I am most grateful for your efforts regardless of whether it works for me specifically :-)
