Security & Cameras — Eufy, Reolink, Frigate

Overview

The home has a comprehensive security camera system combining Eufy Security (indoor/outdoor cameras + doorbells) and Reolink (PoE floodlight cameras), processed locally by Frigate NVR (add-on v0.17.1). All cameras stream via go2rtc (built-in) and WebRTC.

Eufy Security

Integration: eufy_security (HACS) | Host: 127.0.0.1 | Add-on: eufy-security-ws v3.0.1

The Eufy integration connects via the local WebSocket server (eufy-security-ws add-on), providing camera streams and sensor data without relying on cloud.

Infrastructure

Device	Model	Firmware
Eufy HomeBase	T8030	3.8.3.4
Eufy Passport	T87B2	1.5.6

The HomeBase is the central hub for all Eufy cameras. It must be running for any Eufy entity to be available.

Per-Camera Features

Each Eufy camera exposes:

• camera.* — live stream
• image.*.event_image — last motion event snapshot
• alarm_control_panel.* — arm/disarm (all currently armed_home)
• Motion detection switches (Human, Pet, Vehicle, etc.)
• Notification switches (Person, Pet, Crying, Sound)
• RTSP stream switch
• Microphone / Speaker switches (where applicable)
• Audio Recording switch

Doorbells

Device	Model	Notes
Front Door	T8530	Video doorbell; Front Yard area
Back door doorbell	T8214	Video doorbell; Back door
Front Doorbell Chime	T8021	Wireless chime; alarm_control_panel.front_doorbell_chime

Frigate NVR

Add-on: ccab4aaf_frigate v0.17.1 | State: started

Frigate provides local real-time object detection for IP cameras using hardware-accelerated inference. It integrates with HA via the MQTT integration and the frigate integration (HACS).

Frigate configuration (cameras, detectors, zones, objects) is managed in the Frigate add-on config file, not in HA directly.

---

go2rtc & WebRTC

go2rtc is a built-in HA integration (system) that provides camera stream proxying, RTSP-to-WebRTC conversion, and low-latency viewing in the HA frontend.

WebRTC Camera (HACS, AlexxIT) provides enhanced WebRTC card support for dashboards.

Notes / Gotchas

• All Eufy cameras depend on the HomeBase. Power-cycle or network loss of the HomeBase will take all Eufy entities offline simultaneously.
• Front Door (T8530) and Back Door Doorbell (T8214) have no area assignment — these should be added to appropriate areas for better dashboard organization.
• Reolink cameras are discovered via DHCP — ensure they have static IP reservations in the router to prevent config entry issues after reboots.
• The Eufy integration uses a local WebSocket bridge (eufy-security-ws) — avoid using the Eufy cloud app to log out or change account settings, as this can invalidate the local bridge credentials.
