@shivan could you share your configuration?
Sure it looks like this:
- platform: amcrest host: !secret amcrest_lincoln_host2 name: "Lincoln-old" resolution: low username: !secret camera_username2 password: !secret camera_password2 port: 80 stream_source: rtsp
is it working?
what error are you getting?
Dear all:
my amcrest camera was working well under hass.io
these are my configuration:
amcrest:
host: 192.168.34.109
username: user
password: XXYYZZ
resolution: low
stream_source: mjpeg
sensors:
- motion_detector
- sdcard
camera 1:
platform: amcrest
host: 192.168.34.109
username: user
password: XXYYZZ
name: cameraLiving
Then, I switched to hassbian.
the very same configuration file no longer works. It give not-so informative error:
Invalid config
The following components and platforms could not be set up:
camera.amcrest amcrest
Please check your config.
Upon further examination, I found something strange in homeassistant.log file:

it looks like recorder sqlite file is corrupted?
thanks in advance
This error is not unique to hassbian. It seems that the amcrest.py is not handling authentication correctly. I get a 401 error and Iām sure that the configuration is okay.
There is one error I think I can do something about: that sqlite3.databaseError
if anyone knows where that database is, please let me know. i want to try to delete that data base file and see if it fixes it.
Thanks in advance
you mean something like this?
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: http://192.168.23.124:80/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getMachineName
The strange thing is thatā¦ amcrest worked fine on my hass.io. itās only when I switched to hassbian i start to encounter this issue.
Unless, it just happened that amcrest updated its script while I was migrating to hassianā¦
I found the sqlite3 database file: home-assistant_v2.db
And I simply deleted it.
it no longer has that sqlite database disk image malformed error, but it still got that 401 authentication error, which is related to amcrest component no longer works with latest amcrest firmware update.
the author of python-amcrest is aware of this issue, I guess we just have to wait.
Same issue with mine. Amcrest was working fine in hassio but when i switched to hassbian i am getting 401 unauthorized for url error.
Anyone resolved this issue? It seems to have been happening to many people.
