I have a garden that needs a solar powered wifi camera. I found “Foscam B4 Solar security camera” on Amazon for $75.99. That looks good and I see a Foscam integration. Before I buy, I want to know if only some Foscams work with home assistant and does this one work with home-assistant? I have many older Amcrest cameras working with HA and I just want to add this one. I see not all Amcrests are useable so wondered if all Foscams are.
Much appreciated, Doug
I don’t have that particular camera but I have several other various other Foscam models and all of them work with HA using the Foscam integration. So I would expect this one to work as well.
Thank you. With Amazon return policy, I will order and test and report back.
Appreciate your help, Doug

Did you get it to work? I bought one and an unable to get it into HA.
Not yet. Probably doing it wrong. It may need a manual setup I do not know how to do.
Has anyone got this camera to work? According to the FAQ Collected FAQ for Foscam Solar WiFi Camera B4-Foscam Support - FAQs it doesnt support RTSP and ONVIF.
This could be the reason why I’m getting “Connection failed” when I try the Foscam Integration.
Is there any possibility to get it to work? Maybe using the MJPEG Integration?
