UniFi Video Camera Instructions on how to integrate UVC cameras within Home Assistant. ubiquiti.png

The uvc camera platform allows you to integrate UniFi Video Camera (UVC) into Home Assistant.

The platform connects to the Unifi NVR software and automatically discovers/adds any camera connected to the NVR.

Setup

It is recommended that you create a new user for this platform in the NVR software and only give the user the permissions it need to operate.

  • The API key is found in User -> My account -> API Access in the NVR software.
  • The camera password is found in Settings -> Camera Settings -> Camera Password in the NVR software.

Configuration

To enable, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
  - platform: uvc
    nvr: IP_ADDRESS
    key: API_KEY

{% configuration %} nvr: description: The IP or hostname of the NVR (Network Video Recorder) server. required: true type: string port: description: The port number to use for accessing the NVR. required: false type: integer default: 7080 key: description: The API key available from the NVR web interface. required: true type: string password: description: The camera password. required: false type: string default: ubnt ssl: description: Should use SSL/TLS to connect to the NVR. required: false type: boolean default: false {% endconfiguration %}

When using an API_KEY to access cameras controlled by Ubiquiti's NVR Software, the associated user account MUST have at least Administrator privileges within the NVR Software in order for new cameras to be added into Home Assistant. Once the entities have been created in Home Assistant, privileges for the user account can be lowered.
