page Foscam IP Camera Instructions how to integrate Foscam IP cameras within Home Assistant. 2015-09-17 08:01 true false true true foscam.png Camera

The foscam platform allows you to watch the live stream of your Foscam IP camera in Home Assistant.

To enable your Foscam IP camera in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
  platform: foscam
  ip: 192.168.0.123
  name: Door Camera
  port: 88
  username: USERNAME
  password: PASSWORD

Configuration variables:

  • ip Required: The IP address your camera.
  • port Optional: The port that the camera is running on. The default is 88.
  • name Optional: This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.
  • username Required: The username for accessing your camera.
  • password Required: The password for accessing your camera.
    • Note: There seems to be some issues within Foscam with lengthy passwords and passwords containing certain symbols. Be sure to check your camera's documentation.
