Camera Proxy
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">proxy</code> camera platform allows you to pass another cameras output through post-processing routines and generate a new camera with the post-processed output.</p>
<p>The current post-processing supports resizing the image/MJPEG as well as limiting the maximum refresh rate.</p>
<p>The current proxy capabilities are intended to reduce the camera bandwidth for slower internet connections.</p>
<p>To enable this camera in your installation, you must first have an existing working camera configured in Home Assistant. Next, 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">proxy</span>
<span class="s">entity_id</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">camera.&lt;existingcamera&gt;</span>
<span class="s">max_stream_width</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">360</span>
<span class="s">max_image_width</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">720</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>entity_id</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The ID of another Home Assistant camera to post-process.</li>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.</li>
<li><strong>max_image_width</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The maximum width of single images taken from the camera (aspect ratio will be maintained).</li>
<li><strong>max_stream_width</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The maximum width of the MJPEG stream from the camera (aspect ratio will be maintained).</li>
<li><strong>image_quality</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The quality level used for resulting JPEG for snapshots (default: 75).</li>
<li><strong>stream_quality</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The quality level used for resulting MJPEG streams (default: 75).</li>
<li><strong>image_refresh_rate</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The minimum time in seconds between generating successive image snapshots.</li>
<li><strong>force_resize</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Resize the image even if the resulting image would take up more bandwidth than the original.</li>
<li><strong>cache_images</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Preserve the last image and re-send in the case the camera is not responding.</li>
</ul>
