- Since this section will be expanded in a future PR, consider adding a note like "More details coming soon" to set proper expectations.

- Using consistent punctuation at the end of each item

465-468: Consider expanding the rich notifications section
The "Sending rich notifications" section is quite brief and could benefit from more details or examples, especially since it's mentioned in the PR objectives that this section will be expanded in a separate PR.
Consider adding a placeholder note indicating that more detailed information about rich notifications will be provided in a future update.

465-468: Fix grammar in notification description.The sentence needs a minor grammatical correction.
-You can receive rich notifications on your phone when someone rings a Reolink doorbell or a Reolink camera detects a event like motion or a person. +You can receive rich notifications on your phone when someone rings a Reolink doorbell or a Reolink camera detects an event like motion or a person.
471-485: Improve clarity and organization of automation ideas.The automation ideas provide valuable examples but could benefit from better organization and some grammatical improvements.
Consider these improvements:
Group related automations together under categories:
- Security (motion detection, person detection)
- Doorbell-specific
- Camera settings optimization
- Home automation integration
Fix grammar and formatting:
-If a camera detects a person/vehicle/animal then point other PTZ cameras in that direction using PTZ presets. +If a camera detects a person/vehicle/animal, then point other PTZ cameras in that direction using PTZ presets. -Wake up and start recording on other battery cameras nearby if one camera/motion sensor detects a event. +Wake up and start recording on other battery cameras nearby if one camera/motion sensor detects an event. -Make a input boolean helper to easily disable notifications on all cameras and automatically enable notifications again after 1 hour. +Make an input boolean helper to easily disable notifications on all cameras and automatically enable notifications again after 1 hour.
- Add periods at the end of each bullet point for consistency.
481-481: Fix typo in automation idea description.There's a typo in the word "saves".
-Increase framerate and maximum bitrate of a camera when a person/vehicle/animal is detected and lower it again after 1 minute of no detection. This safes storage space so you can record longer when recording 24/7 without compromising image clarity during events. +Increase framerate and maximum bitrate of a camera when a person/vehicle/animal is detected and lower it again after 1 minute of no detection.

The example provides a good reference to the picture glance card documentation and explains a practical use case.
Proposed change
Add Reolink automation ideas.
I will work out the "Sending rich notifications" part further in a seperate PR.
