The `ffmpeg` platform allows you to use every video feet with [FFmpeg](http://www.ffmpeg.org/) as camera in Home Assistant.
<p class='note'>
You need a ffmpeg binary in your system path. On debain 8 you can install it from backports. If you want HW support on raspberry you need self build from source. Windows binary are avilable on ffmpeg homepage.
</p>
To enable your Foscam IP camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
platform: ffmpeg
input: FFMPEG_SUPPORTED_INPUT
name: FFmpeg
ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
extra_arguments: -q:v 2
```
Configuration variables:
- **input** (*Required*): A ffmpeg compatible input file, stream or feet.
- **name** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.
- **ffmpeg_bin** (*Optional*): Default 'ffmpeg'.
- **extra_arguments** (*Optional*): Extra option they will pass to ffmpeg. i.e. image quality or video filter options.
Image quality:
You can controll the image quality with [extra_arguments](https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#jpeg2000) *-q:v 2-32* or with lossless option *-pred 1*.
