 - **name** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera. The default is "Amcrest Camera".
 - **port** (*Optional*): The port that the camera is running on. The default is 80.
 - **resolution** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to specify the camera resolution. For a high resolution (1080/720p), specify the option `high`. For VGA resolution (640x480p), specify the option `low`. If omitted, it defaults to *high*.
-- **stream_source** (*Optional*): The data source for the live stream. `mjpeg` will use the camera's native MJPEG stream, whereas `snapshot` will use the camera's snapshot API to create a stream from still images. If omitted, it defaults to *mjpeg*.
+- **stream_source** (*Optional*): The data source for the live stream. `mjpeg` will use the camera's native MJPEG stream, whereas `snapshot` will use the camera's snapshot API to create a stream from still images. You can also set the `rtsp` option to generate the streaming via RTSP protocol. If omitted, it defaults to *mjpeg*.
+- **ffmpeg_arguments**: (*Optional*): Extra options to pass to ffmpeg, e.g. image quality or video filter options.
 
 **Note:** Amcrest cameras with newer firmwares no longer have the ability to stream `high` definition video with MJPEG encoding. You may need to use `low` resolution stream or the `snapshot` stream source instead.  If the quality seems too poor, lower the `Frame Rate (FPS)` and max out the `Bit Rate` settings in your camera's configuration manager.
 
+**Note:** If you set the `stream_source` option to `rtsp`, make sure to follow the steps mentioned at
+[FFMPEG](https://home-assistant.io/components/ffmpeg/) documentation to install the `ffmpeg`.
