The `uvc` camera platform allows you to integrate [UniFi Video Camera (UVC)](https://www.ubnt.com/products/#unifivideo) into Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
The platform connects to the Unifi NVR software and automatically discovers/adds any camera connected to the NVR.
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title 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.
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To enable, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
