I see sometime the following line in my logs;
2019-03-28 07:38:33 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http.view] Serving /api/ to 172.30.32.2 (auth: True)
I dont understand what this is, it certainly not an IP from my devices
Figured this out? I have same issue with foscam
Nope. But did not spend time on it yesterday.
ok, let me know if you figure it out 
Added verify_ssl: false and it works fine now.
Had once this message after stopping the stream: ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.camera] camera.cam2 does not support play stream service.
aha, thx , gonna try it
i dont receive an error in log, for me the circle keeps spinning, never see video
if i remove stream: it works fine
seems my foscams camera ( model C1) dont have mjpeg stream
does it mean i cant use the STREAM: config?
Hello.
I cannot seem to make it work with any of my Dafang cameras with an rtsp stream powered by Dafang-Hacks.
I used the exact configuration shown above, but none of my 2 cameras work, although I seem to be able to get the camera screenshot (but not the stream):
If I click it, it simply stays like this:
and no stream is shown.
What should I check for to understand what is failing?
Thanks in advance.
In my case, the first time, it does not work, then it works.
Did not try without stream component.
i took my streams now from my synology, working first time
now up and running
Just want to share my experience with a Foscam camera
I have R2 camera working with a following config:
- platform: generic
name: test
still_image_url: http://192.168.86.206:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=adminUser&pwd=pwd
stream_source: rtsp://adminUser:[email protected]:88/videoMain
However, the stream is delayed by ~15-20 seconds while buffering, so if used in an automation of some sort the delay may cause problems.
ffmpeg v2.0 is coming in 91.0 , maybe it will make a difference
So I’ve got a weird one, and wondering if anyone has seen anything like this. I finally got a Foscam configuration to work with the following config (currently commented out due to the issue I’m about to mention):
# - platform: generic
# still_image_url: http://x.x.x.x:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=xxxxxx&pwd=xxxxxx
# stream_source: rtsp://xxxxx:[email protected]:88/videoMain
# name: "Living Room"
# verify_ssl: false
So I have 4 cameras set up like this. I finally got them working and tested them all yesterday. After a while, the GUI became unresponsive. Tried refreshing, ctrl-f5, etc, and it wouldn’t load. Stopped and restarted the HA services and it came back up. Wrote it off as a one time thing until it happened again a little later. Commented out the new config and went back to the original Foscam configuration and it hasn’t happened since.
I’m running HA on a Raspberry PI3+ in virtualenv. Anybody seen any behavior like this or have any ideas as to where the issue might be?
The instructions for Synology are incomplete; they tell me how to get the stream URL (which I can do successfully) but the stream component also requires a still image URL. Anyone know how to obtain that?
Thanks Bigrob8181!

Hi smile,
Try replacing scamera.play_stream: with stream_source:
