There is a brand new entity type in town: [Image entities](/integrations/image/).
There is a brand new entity type in town: The [image entity](/integrations/image/).

entity tailored for these specific use cases. An image entity is much
more lightweight and efficient compared to the camera entity. Also, this keeps
our camera entities focused on providing actual camera feeds.
