+The `Local File Camera` allows you to integrate any readable image file from disk into Home Assistant.
+If the image is updated in the file system the image displayed in Home Assistant will also be updated.
+This can for example be used with various camera platforms that save a temporary images localy.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+camera:
+  platform: local_file_camera
+  name: Local File Camera
+  file_path: /tmp/image.jpg
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+ - **name** (optional): Name of the camera
+ - **file_path** (required): File to serve as the camera.
+ 
+The given **file_path** must be an existing file because the camera platform setup make a readable check on it.
