The `usps` camera component allows you to view the mail piece images made available through USPS via the Informed Delivery service. You must "Opt-In" to [Informed Delivery](https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action) to see mail images. This works in concert with [USPS sensors](/components/sensor.usps).
<p class='note'>
You must have the [USPS component](/components/usps/) configured to use this camera. The camera will be setup if the `usps` component is configured and the required configuration is set.
</p>
To customize the interval that mail images are rotated in the mail camera you can edit your `configuration.yaml` file with the following settings:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: usps
scan_interval: 5
```
To enable this camera in your installation, set up the [USPS component](/components/usps) with your username and password.
