<p>The camera component allows you to use IP cameras with Home Assistant. With a little additional work you could use <a href="/blog/2016/06/23/usb-webcams-and-home-assistant/">USB cameras</a> as well.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="service" href="#service"></a> Service</h3>
<p>Once loaded, the <code class="highlighter-rouge">camera</code> platform will expose services that can be called to perform various actions.</p>
<p>Available services: <code class="highlighter-rouge">enable_motion_detection</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">disable_motion_detection</code>, and <code class="highlighter-rouge">snapshot</code>.</p>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="service-enable_motion_detection" href="#service-enable_motion_detection"></a> Service <code class="highlighter-rouge">enable_motion_detection</code></h4>
<p>Enable the motion detection in a camera.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Service data attribute</th>
<th>Optional</th>
<th>Description</th>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code class="highlighter-rouge">entity_id</code></td>
<td>no</td>
<td>Name(s) of entities to enable motion detection, e.g., <code class="highlighter-rouge">camera.living_room_camera</code>.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="service-disable_motion_detection" href="#service-disable_motion_detection"></a> Service <code class="highlighter-rouge">disable_motion_detection</code></h4>
<p>Disable the motion detection in a camera.</p>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h4><a class="title-link" name="service-snapshot" href="#service-snapshot"></a> Service <code class="highlighter-rouge">snapshot</code></h4>
<p>Take a snapshot from a camera.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Service data attribute</th>

<tr>
<td><code class="highlighter-rouge">entity_id</code></td>

<td>no</td>
<td>Template of a file name. Variable is <code class="highlighter-rouge">entity_id</code>, e.g., <code class="highlighter-rouge">/tmp/snapshot_{{ entity_id }}</code>.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The path part of <code class="highlighter-rouge">filename</code> must be an entry in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">whitelist_external_dirs</code> in your <a href="/docs/configuration/basic/"><code class="highlighter-rouge">homeassistant:</code></a> section of your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="test-if-it-works" href="#test-if-it-works"></a> Test if it works</h3>
<p>A simple way to test if you have set up your <code class="highlighter-rouge">camera</code> platform correctly, is to use <img src="/images/screenshots/developer-tool-services-icon.png" alt="service developer tool icon" class="no-shadow" height="38" /> <strong>Services</strong> from the <strong>Developer Tools</strong>. Choose your service from the dropdown menu <strong>Service</strong>, enter something like the sample below into the <strong>Service Data</strong> field, and hit <strong>CALL SERVICE</strong>.</p>
