Hit a pretty significant snag in this project. Apparently our only available internet providers are satellite. Hughes net, Viasat, and Starlink. I would still like to proceed with the POE Reolink 811a and NVR system. This system can still work without internet, just without remote phone viewing or push notifications correct? I’m guessing that I can connect the NVR to a TV and view my stored footage that way until I figure out our internet situation? Are there some form of controls (mouse) plugged into NVR to navigate on the TV? TIA

Correct. Without an internet connection, local recording with an NVR is your only option since cloud recording won't work.

Yes the NVR will have HDMI and USB ports so you can use it just like a computer. You can also log into it from a computer/phone on the same network by browsing to its local IP and view live feeds and recordings that way.
