MQTT, the language your dashcam and smart home share
DashKeep publishes real-time events from your dashcam over MQTT, the lightweight protocol that Home Assistant, openHAB, Control4, and Savant all understand natively.
Parking Alerts to Smart Speakers
Your dashcam detects impact and your Alexa or Google Home announces it. "Someone just hit the car in the driveway."
Trigger Smart Lights
Car pulls into the drive late at night? Your porch lights come on automatically. Your garage floodlight activates if DashKeep detects motion near your vehicle.
Lock Down on Alert
DashKeep detects a break-in attempt. Your smart locks engage, your external cameras switch to record, and your phone lights up with the feed.
Link Your Cameras
Notify your home CCTV to start recording when DashKeep detects motion. Two systems, one unified response.
Works with your smart home, whatever you run
DashKeep is platform-agnostic. If your hub speaks MQTT, you're already connected.
Home Assistant
Fully supported via MQTT auto-discovery. DashKeep appears as a device in your Home Assistant dashboard with entities for events, location, and status.
openHAB
DashKeep publishes events to a configurable MQTT topic. Add a binding, set your rules, and you're connected.
Control4
Compatible with Control4 automation controllers. Use DashKeep events to trigger scenes, notifications, and security routines across your property.
Savant
Integrated with Savant's smart home ecosystem. DashKeep events can fire Savant scenes, from lighting changes to whole-home alerts.
A security camera for your car that talks to your home
Your dashcam is always watching. Now your smart home is too. When DashKeep detects something, your entire home automation system springs into action. Lights, locks, cameras, speakers. All working together.

Auto-Discovery
Home Assistant picks up DashKeep automatically via MQTT discovery. No YAML wrangling, no manual topic configuration.
-
Real-Time Events
Parking impacts, motion detection, ignition on/off. Every event fires an MQTT message your hub can act on instantly.

Locally Controlled
MQTT keeps your data local if you want it that way. No cloud dependency required for your automations to fire.
