Animated video recorder (NVR) icon for Home Assistant

Slim network video recorder with a brushed black front: the display strip is dark with a blue power LED at rest; while recording it shows a tiny four camera grid with a moving scan line, the drive LEDs flicker and the red REC LED blinks.

2 states: idle and recording. Part of the security icons in the Animara Full Pack.

States of the video recorder (NVR) icon

The card picks the state from your entity, so the icon always shows what the video recorder (NVR) is doing.

  • IdleResting state, shown when the device is off or idle.
  • Recording

Which Home Assistant entities fit

  • Any entity that is simply on or off, such as a switch or input_boolean: on shows recording, off shows idle. Entity states named like a state below (for example recording) are used directly.
  • Works with any entity whose state you map: pick this icon in the card and map your entity's own state words to these states with the card's states: option.

How to use it in Home Assistant

  1. Install the Animara card: one link install, HACS as a custom repository, or copy animara-card.js to /config/www.
  2. Edit your dashboard, choose Add card, then Animara.
  3. Pick your entity. Choose Video recorder (NVR) in the Icon list if it is not detected automatically.
  4. Paste your Full Pack license key into the License key field once per dashboard.

Prefer YAML? This is all it takes:

type: custom:animara-card
entity: switch.nvr_recorder
icon: nvr_recorder

Mapping words yourself looks like this:

  "on": recording
