To enable this component, first copy custom_components/ inside your Home Assistant config directory and add the shinobi component and platform, for example in configuration.yaml. See https://github.com/moeiscool/Shinobi/wiki/API-Access on how to get your api_key and group_key. The ssl param is optional and defaults to false

…
shinobi:
  host: <your-cams_ip or hostname>
  api_key: <api_key>
  group_key: <group_key>
  ssl: false

camera:
  - platform: shinobi
…

At the moment, all configured and activated cameras (in state, Record or Watch-only, see https://shinobi.video/docs/settings) are fetched and added to Home Assistant as MjpegCamera. Please note that I couldn't get the actual Mjpeg stream to work in general using other software so this is also not working in HA for now. The preview with still images is working perfectly though.

No additional packages have to be installed.

TODO

get the (mjpeg-) stream to work, also figure out which camera platform is working best for this (Shinobi allows to switch between different stream output configs)
allow filtering of which monitors/cams to add to HA
add movement detection as (binary?) sensors
add ptz control (as switches? I have not yet seen a good solution in HA, anybody who can help please drop some lines)
