It has 77 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated October 12, 2026. SwitchBot KVS Camera is a custom integration that connects SwitchBot Pan/Tilt Cam Plus cameras to Home Assistant through the vendor's cloud. It adds camera entities along with controls for panning and tilting, saving and moving to presets, volume, night vision, recording mode, and sensitivity. Switches cover privacy mode, cruise mode, motion detection, motion tracking, human detection, the indicator light, and local recording. Sensors report the camera's IP address, signal strength, storage usage, time zone, and RTSP stream addresses. Options cover camera resolution, snapshots, and how long a snapshot stays cached. Sign-in uses the SwitchBot account email and password in the UI, with a verification code step for two-factor authentication, and it requires the Marketplace. Audio is not supported.
