Verify_ssl: false ignored by Generic IP Camera

Configuration
1

I have verify_ssl set to “false” (Verify_ssl: false) for the Generic IP Camera, but it’s failing to get an image, with the
Error getting new camera image: Cannot connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 ssl:None [[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:720)]

It looks like it’s still trying to verify the cert! :frowning:

If I try setting Verify_ssl: true, then I get the exact same error message.
