It has 54 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 19, 2026. XMeye / Xiongmai NVR connects Home Assistant to Xiongmai-based recorders over the local DVRIP protocol. It talks to the recorder directly, so no cloud account or ONVIF is needed. It adds a sidebar panel with a live video wall, a low-latency WebCodecs player and an archive timeline for playback. Entities cover cameras, recording and motion sensors, disk and bitrate readings, detection switches, and buttons to reboot the recorder or sync its time. Actions allow PTZ control, searching and downloading recordings, reading and writing recorder configuration, and sending audio to its speaker. Setup is done in the UI with the recorder's address, user and password. Automatic summary of the README and code of Moxnatiy/hass-xmeye.

Native (WebCodecs) has the lowest latency. - **Panel live stream** - **Update interval** - **Max device connections (TCPMaxConn)**: Written to the recorder. It caps how many streams run at once; raising it above 10 is not honoured by every firmware. - **Use RTSP for live video**: Turn off only if RTSP is disabled on the recorder. - **Show the XMeye sidebar panel** Texts from the code of [Moxnatiy/hass-xmeye](https://github.com/Moxnatiy/hass-xmeye). ## Entities - **Binary sensors**: Recording, Motion, Disk problem, Alarm input, Connected, Video loss, Camera blinded - **Buttons**: Reboot, Sync time - **Sensors**: Uptime, Total bitrate, Channels online, Recording channels, Disk used, Disk free, Archive starts, Archive ends, Recorder time, Bitrate - **Switches**: Motion detection, Blind detection, Video loss detection ## Actions - **PTZ control**: Move a PTZ camera or jump to a preset.

Every tile travels on one WebSocket, so a wall of sixteen cameras does not run into the browser's six-connections-per-host limit. Tiles are added, removed, reordered and… > - About a second of latency. Frames go from the recorder straight into the browser's hardware decoder through WebCodecs — no segmenting, no repackaging, and no work for Home Assistant beyond moving… > - An archive you can actually aim at. A day's recordings on a timeline that zooms down to a minute with the scroll wheel or a pinch. A click starts playback at that exact second, ×1 to ×8, and the… > - The recorder's settings, as a form. Motion, blind and video-loss detection per channel, overlays, disks, network time and more — typed fields instead of raw JSON, and the whole configuration tree… > - Five languages. English, Ukrainian, Spanish, French and German, following Home Assistant's language setting. > - Pan, tilt and zoom on the wall. Point at a tile and a pad appears: hold an arrow to turn, click for a short step, and keep up to eight presets. A camera stops by itself if the browser goes quiet… > - Sound. A speaker on each tile and in the single-camera view plays the camera's microphone, decoded in the browser.
