A Home Assistant custom component that enables real-time low-latency viewing of camera streams using WebRTC, powered by the go2rtc streaming server. It supports many camera sources (RTSP, RTMP, HTTP, HomeKit, USB) and automatically selects the best streaming technology based on codecs and browser capabilities.
Use cases
- view RTSP IP cameras in Home Assistant with low latency
- stream cameras to a browser via WebRTC
- add a custom Lovelace card for live camera feeds
- get two-way audio from a doorbell camera
- send camera snapshots to Telegram
- cast or share a camera stream
- transcode unsupported camera codecs on the fly
When to choose
- you use Home Assistant and want near-real-time camera viewing instead of laggy HLS streams
- your cameras speak RTSP/RTMP/HomeKit and you want broad protocol support
- you need low-latency streaming with automatic technology selection
- you want two-way audio or snapshot automation
When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant (use go2rtc directly instead)
- you need a fully hardened setup out of the box - go2rtc's web UI on port 1984 is unauthenticated by default
- you only need simple snapshot-based camera cards without live streaming
