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.

{% 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:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

  - platform: uvc
