Help! How to access camera live stream in HA?

Configuration
1

I have a few different camera integrations in HA -

  • Ring
  • Arlo (via HACS aarlo)
  • Even 1 Arlo camera via homekit_controller, as an experiment

With all cameras, I can see the snapshot in HA. And if I click through, it shows me the last recorded video. But how do I get a live stream in HA?

I know from personal experience that the Ring Integration can only show you the last recorded video. -This is probably more to due with the Ring API home assistant is connecting to than Home Assistant itself, I don’t think Ring exposes a video stream through it’s API.
If any of your other cameras have an RTSP stream ( like rtsp://user:[email protected]/stream ) you can add that into the configuration.yaml file.
Hope that helps

Ah, got it. Thank you. Arlo does not support RTSP either, so none of my cameras will live stream in HA.
