*These models are discontinued and not sold anymore, they will continue to work with Home Assistant.
Battery-powered cameras are not yet supported.
### Tested battery-powered models
Battery-powered Reolink cameras can be used with Home Assistant with the help of a [Reolink Home Hub](https://reolink.com/product/reolink-home-hub/). The Home Hub will act as a bridge between the battery-powered cameras and Home Assistant, conserving the battery life. All features of the battery-powered cameras will be available just like regular-powered cameras. Viewing the camera stream in Home Assistant will keep the battery camera awake during viewing, consuming battery life. Therefore, ensure you do not use the camera stream on a dashboard that is constantly being viewed, like a wall panel dashboard. You can check proper operation by ensuring that the "Sleep status" entity will go to "Sleeping" if the battery camera is not being actively used.
The following battery-powered models have been tested and confirmed to work through the Reolink Home Hub:
- [Argus Eco Ultra](https://reolink.com/product/argus-eco-ultra/)
- [Argus Track](https://reolink.com/product/argus-track/)
- [Reolink Doorbell Battery](https://reolink.com/roadmap/)
Reolink provides [this larger list of battery camera models](https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/32379509281561-Reolink-Home-Hub-Compatibility/) which are compatible with the Home Hub and should work with Home Assistant.
### Models only compatible using a NVR/Home Hub
The following models are lacking the HTTP web server API and can, therefore, not work directly with this integration.
However, these cameras can work with this integration through an NVR in which the NVR is connected to Home Assistant.
