Cameras.yaml breaks after 2 cameras

Configuration
1

Hello,

not sure what i am doing wrong, but i have 4 ip cameras that i want to use with hA…

in my cameras.yaml file (below) if I have 2 cameras it works as expected…


  - platform: amcrest
    name: Living Room Camera
    host: "10.10.1.223"
    password: !secret camera_password
    port: 9083
    username: !secret camera_user
    stream_source: rtsp


  - platform: amcrest
    name: Kitchen Camera
    host: "10.10.1.224"
    password: !secret camera_password
    port: 9083
    username: !secret camera_user
    stream_source: rtsp

if i add a third this breaks?

any help?

2

Can you expand on what breaks? What is the error log outputing?

3

just re-did the 3rd camera and no errors…

maybe some white space is my guess… ?

4

This is what often breaks HA for a lot of people. Tabs instead of spaces or small missteps in the formatting.

below is the error with the 4th camera

i was using the format of amcrest for a foscam camera… specifcally “” around the ip and using node instead of IP…

6

Can you post the config that is failing?

7

error’s gone after i used the right format for the foscam camera…

however for this camera i get (error loading image)

thanks,

Try using the generice MJPEG camera for Foscam. I have two of them and they were not supported properly under the Foscam platform but work great with generic MJPEG.

that didnt work, using generic MJPEG does the same…

I think @silvrr is right, we may need to see the version of the config that fails with the third camera added. Actually, seeing the entire cameras.yaml file would probably help as well as seeing the call in configuration.yaml to include it.
