The `amcrest` platform allows you to integrate your [Amcrest](https://amcrest.com/) IP camera in Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
To enable your camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry

|
camera:
|
|
- platform: amcrest
|
|
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
username: USERNAME
|
|
password: PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address or hostname of your camera. If using hostname, make sure the DNS works as expected.

|
|
