Configuration variables:
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address or hostname of your camera. If using hostname, make sure the DNS works as expected.
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address or hostname of your camera. If using a hostname, make sure the DNS works as expected.
- **username** (*Required*): The username for accessing your camera.
- **password** (*Required*): The password for accessing your camera.
- **name** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera. The default is "Amcrest Camera".

- **resolution** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to specify the camera resolution. For a high resolution (1080/720p), specify the option `high`. For VGA resolution (640x480p), specify the option `low`. If omitted, it defaults to *high*.
- **stream_source** (*Optional*): The data source for the live stream. `mjpeg` will use the camera's native MJPEG stream, whereas `snapshot` will use the camera's snapshot API to create a stream from still images. You can also set the `rtsp` option to generate the streaming via RTSP protocol. If omitted, it defaults to *snapshot*.
- **ffmpeg_arguments**: (*Optional*): Extra options to pass to ffmpeg, e.g. image quality or video filter options.
- **authentication**: (*Optional*): Defines which authentication method to use only when **stream_source** is **mjpeg**. Currently *aiohttp* only support *basic*. It defaults to *basic*.
- **authentication**: (*Optional*): Defines which authentication method to use only when **stream_source** is **mjpeg**. Currently, *aiohttp* only support *basic*. It defaults to *basic*.
- **scan_interval** (*Optional*): Defines the update interval of the sensor in seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
- **sensors** array (*Optional*): Conditions to display in the frontend. By default, *none* of the conditions are enabled. The following conditions can be monitored.
- **motion_detector**: Return True/False when a motion is detected
- **sdcard**: Return the SD card usage by reporting the total and used space
- **ptz_preset**: Return the number of PTZ preset positions configured for the given camera
**Note:** Amcrest cameras with newer firmwares no longer have the ability to stream `high` definition video with MJPEG encoding. You may need to use `low` resolution stream or the `snapshot` stream source instead. If the quality seems too poor, lower the `Frame Rate (FPS)` and max out the `Bit Rate` settings in your camera's configuration manager. If you defined the *stream_source* to **mjpeg**, make sure your camera supports *Basic* HTTP authentication. Newer Amcrest firwmares may not work, then **rtsp** is recommended instead.

**Note:** If you set the `stream_source` option to `rtsp`, make sure to follow the steps mentioned at
[FFMPEG](https://home-assistant.io/components/ffmpeg/) documentation to install the `ffmpeg`.
