Lovelace and Raspi / Arlo cameras

Hello,

just trying to change towards lovelace, whi9ch is really great so far.
Just got stucked displaying my RasPi Camera and Arlo camera images.
RaspI has one local (temp) naming for the image, the Arlo even haven’t.
I tried with entities but with no good result.

Surely anyone of you can give me a hint into the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, all the picture-* cards except picture card in Lovelace have options to specify image or camera_image.
If you have defined your cameras already in configuation.yaml, try
camera_image: camera.yourcam

If you have the url or path to the image file name for your camera image, try
image: /local/yourcam.jpg
of
image: http:/192.168.0.10:8080/video
(won’t work with rtsp)

You can even use the camera entity in the image if your don’t mind having password in your yaml file:
image: https://yourduckdns.com/api/camera_proxy/camera.yourcam?api_password=yourhasspassword

So, you either need to define camera entity or have a url/path to the image file.

Hello,

first, sorry for the late reply.
I got it working now , using the picture-entity. Just added the camera_image option.

Thanks for the help!
