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. +However, these cameras can work with this integration through an NVR or Home Hub in which the NVR/Home Hub is connected to Home Assistant. - E1 Pro - E1
