I am looking for some help connecting the dots with the configuration of a camera in my children room.
Following the exciting messages about video streaming I decided to have another go at configuring a camera into HA I bought an Onvif one specifically for the task.
I haven’t used HA in a while and a lot has changed, I tried adding the camera as I had done previously and I couldn’t get it to work.
The process I was going through was to add it as a generic camera:
In Configuration.yaml
camera:
- platform: generic
name: Streaming Enabled
still_image_url: http://194.218.96.92/jpg/image.jpg
stream_source: rtsp://194.218.96.92:554
still_image_url - “The URL your camera serves the image on” Does this mean the HA Server / The Camera IP or something else?
stream_source - As above…
As the first step is there any way to validate that it is created correctly?
