WebRTC Camera

AlexxIT/WebRTC · vv3.6.1

HACSCalculated

Home Assistant custom component for real-time viewing of almost any camera stream using WebRTC and other technologies.

In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Entity	Shows up as	Note
`media_player`	TV, receiver or media switches	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode

What people report

Camera card works with many RTSP cameras (Reolink, Imou, Wyze, Dahua), but HomeKit cameras only work with genuine Apple-compatible go2rtc modules and battery doorbells may keep streaming.

It's been running in my living room ever since, and I never really planned to do anything with it. A few weeks ago I decided it was good enough to release. So here we are. It's called \\HomeBeat\\ (\homebe.at\) - a native tvOS and macOS app for Home Assistant with a focus on live camera streaming. … Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23.

Tapo D230 Doorbell	Not working	WebRTC card fails with mse stream not found Saved copy I'm trying to add my Tapo D230 Doorbell to Home Assistant using the "Tapo: Cameras Control" integration (HACS).

TP-Link Tapo TL-IPC45AW Plus	Won’t be supported	Two-way audio only for some Tapo cameras; no entity created Saved copy Thank you for the tool provided by the developer. I have connected the tp lin tl-ipc45aw plus. Now there are two questions 1. Is it impossible for a local area network to achieve bidirectional communication? If bidirectional communication can be achieved, can the device be bridged into the homekit and can be used to make out calls through Apple Home without SSL. 2. Since the device has not created an entity, how can it be bridged into a homekit? Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23.	Issue #547 · 2023-08
