Amcrest Camera Custom Integration

I created a custom integration for the Amcrest API since the default integration is legacy and cannot be installed through the GUI.

This project modernizes the setup to allow configuration through the GUI and autodetection on the network using mDNS/zeroconf. Features for the camera are automatically determined by polling the camera capabilities and creating the relevant entities.

It can be installed through HACS and replaces the default integration.

Thanks for this. I’ll try it out.

I’ve been considering just integrating directly with the RTSP stream, but one would lack some features. The other was to use the Dahua integration.

Can you post the logs? Which camera model are you trying to connect to?
