@Coolie1101 HASS can absolutely display a realtime video stream, but there are some caveats. You can only do it in the pop-up window (main page display is limited to a 10 second refresh) and you need to configure it as a “mjpeg” camera type, not generic.
For a hikvision camera I use a URL syntax like below:
camera:
platform: mjpeg
mjpeg_url: http://X.X.X.X/Streaming/Channels/2/preview
username: user
password: pass
You then need to make sure you have the substream set to “MJPEG” in your camera settings like the in the snapshot below.
