Is this in your camera.yaml or configuration.yaml?

Are you sure you looked properly? Your changes don’t reflect that… try this.

amcrest: 
  - host: 10.10.1.223
    password: !secret camera_password
    port: 9083
    username: !secret camera_user
    name: Living Room Camera 
    sensors:
      - motion_detector
      - sdcard
      - ptz_preset
