Generic IP Camera
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">generic</code> camera platform allows you to integrate any IP camera or other URL into Home Assistant. Templates can be used to generate the URLs on the fly.</p>
<p>Home Assistant will serve the images via its server, making it possible to view your IP cameras while outside of your network. The endpoint is <code class="highlighter-rouge">/api/camera_proxy/camera.[name]</code>.</p>
<p>To enable this camera in your installation, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">camera</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">generic</span>
<span class="s">still_image_url</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">http://194.218.96.92/jpg/image.jpg</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>still_image_url</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The URL your camera serves the image on, eg. http://192.168.1.21:2112/. Can be a <a href="/topics/templating/">template</a>.</li>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.</li>
<li><strong>username</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The username for accessing your camera.</li>
<li><strong>password</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The password for accessing your camera.</li>
<li><strong>authentication</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Type for authenticating the requests <code class="highlighter-rouge">basic</code> (default) or <code class="highlighter-rouge">digest</code>.</li>
<li><strong>limit_refetch_to_url_change</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): True/false value (default: false). Limits re-fetching of the remote image to when the URL changes. Only relevant if using a template to fetch the remote image.</li>
<li><strong>content_type</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Set the content type for the IP camera if it is not a jpg file (default: <code class="highlighter-rouge">image/jpeg</code>). Use <code class="highlighter-rouge">image/svg+xml</code> to add a dynamic svg file.</li>
</ul>

<p>If you are running more than one Home Assistant instance (lets call them the host and receiver instances) you may wish to display the camera feed from the host instance on the receiver instance. You can use the <a href="/developers/rest_api/#get-apicamera_proxycameraltentity_id">REST API</a> to access the camera feed on the host (IP address 127.0.0.5) and display it on the receiver instance by configuring the receiver with the the following:</p>

<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">generic</span>
