🔐 CamPass

PIN-protected camera sharing for Home Assistant. Share live camera feeds with family, guests, or service providers — no HA account required.

Features

• 📱 iPhone-style PIN pad — clean, mobile-first unlock screen
• 🔑 Flexible auth — 4-digit, 6-digit, or alphanumeric passcodes
• 📷 Multi-camera support — select which cameras each person can see
• 🔄 Multiple shares — create separate links with different PINs and cameras
• 🔘 Switch entity — enable/disable each share instantly (great for automations)
• 🔒 Secure by default — JWT cookies, per-share secrets, sharing off on restart

Use Cases

• Baby monitor access for family
• Pet camera for the dog walker
• Front door cam for a delivery window
• Guest camera access during a stay

Installation

HACS (recommended)

1. Open HACS → Integrations → ⋮ → Custom repositories
2. Add evandcoleman/campass with category Integration
3. Install CamPass and restart Home Assistant

Manual

1. Copy custom_components/campass to your HA config/custom_components/ directory
2. Restart Home Assistant

Setup

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Add Integration → CamPass
2. Enter a name (e.g. "Guest"), choose auth type, set a passcode
3. Select which cameras to share
4. Turn on the switch.campass_<name> entity to enable sharing

Repeat to create additional shares with different settings.

Usage

Share the URL with your guest:

http://YOUR_HA_ADDRESS:8123/campass/guest/

They enter the passcode and see the live camera feed. When you turn off the switch, they see "Camera not available."

Automations

Use the switch entity to schedule access:

automation:
  - alias: "Enable baby cam sharing at bedtime"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: "19:00:00"
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: switch.campass_guest

  - alias: "Disable baby cam sharing in morning"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: "07:00:00"
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id: switch.campass_guest

Security

• Passcodes are validated server-side
• Sessions use signed JWT tokens (httpOnly cookies, 24h expiry)
• Each share has its own cryptographic secret
• Switch state persists across HA restarts
• Camera access is restricted to the configured whitelist
