I have a hard time with my camera. The URL when pasted in a browser works, if I use it in an iframe it works, but when I use the camera component it doesn’t show anything

  - id: xxxxx  # Automatically created id
    type: iframe
    url: http://192.168.1.45/snapshot.cgi?usr=admin&pwd=xxxxxx
    aspect_ratio: 100%               
  - id: yyyyy
    type: picture-entity
    title: Office
    entity: camera.office
    show_info: true
    tap_action: more-info

in configuration

camera office:
  - platform: generic
    name: Office
    still_image_url:  http://192.168.1.45/snapshot.cgi?usr=admin&pwd=xxxxxx

Your configuration is wrong
check this:

Here is an example from my camera:

camera:
  - platform: mjpeg
    mjpeg_url: http://192.168.1.xx
    name: Camera office
    authentication: basic
    username: username
    password: password

Will try your suggestion. In any case my code was working in HASS in the past

I have the same issue. I followed the video a tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JdnJj_dTL4). The video is showing when clicking on the card. The image url is working as well, but it’s not showing in the card for me. :frowning:

on your overview click on the 3 dots then click on the exit the dashboard. Find your camera card and then edit. Find the “Camera view” should be under the camera entity. I changed it from auto to live. you also can unclicked the state button too.

That worked for me - thanks! My 3 x ONVIF cameras were fine with auto, but my more basic rtsp non-ONVIF cameras needed the “live” option.

For those trying to find the location its here:
