I just purchased a Unifi NVR Cloud Key 2 and want to connect the Homey App to it. The app is asking for the name of the NVR - I know this name - and the API key. Where can I find the API key or how and where can I obtain it? ---

From the README: > - Create a user in the UniFi Video web interface that belongs to a group that has permissions `view camera` and `edit camera` . > - **Enable API access for this user and note/copy the API key.** ---

The Cloudkey 2 Plus runs Unifi Protect instead of Unifi Video v3 ---

Hi Robert. Thank you for your reply. Can you please show me via a URL and/or print screen where I need to do this? ---

See page 25/26 of the [Unifi video manual](https://dl.ubnt.com/guides/unifivideo/UniFi_Video_UG.pdf) but I doubt you are using this software… ---

No, because I don’t have that device. If the README doesn’t correspond with what you’re seeing, your device is likely to be running different software (as @oklie has suggested). For Unifi Protect, you could perhaps take a look at the instructions [here](https://github.com/adrum/homebridge-unifi-protect#configure-unifi-protect), but it’s likely that your device just isn’t supported by the Homey app. ---

although you cannot use the Unifi Video app you can still grab screenshots with the Image Grabber app. make sure you enable ‘anonymous screenshot access’ in your Unifi G3 camera. ---

Hopefully someone will update the Unifi video app for Homey to support Unifi Protect 🙂 ---

My setup also has the Unifi NVR Cloud Key 2. API access to the _Unifi protect_ setup (and thus not the _Unifi video_ setup) is not yet implemented by Ubnt. It _may_ be in the future. As suggested, you can get image grabs from your camera by directly logging into the camera itself. In my case a camera image (Unifi G3 Flex) is pushed to my phone once a contact sensor activates and I am not at home. ---
