Adding live view for camreas

[harrymaxi]

What type of request is this?

New card type

Existing card or feature name

None

Describe the enhancement

I'd like more camrea addons (eg, ring,eufy,etc) and a live view dashboard card

Use cases

This would let me see live view of my ring doorbell or my eufy cam on a dashboard to see who is there instead of going to the devices and clicking on the live view

Visual examples

No response

Anything else?

I know you can make live view using webrtc on HACS but just if there was a easier way to do it

Hey Harry,

Have you tried to using the picture entity card, setting both the entity and camera entity category to the relevant camera? I also select live under camera view, and now have a constant live view for ring, without having to click on the card.

Hope that helps

I now have a live view on my dashbord so thanks

The Picture Glance card with camera_view: live shows the live camera stream.
