- **sdcard**: Return the SD card usage by reporting the total and used space
- **ptz_preset**: Return the number of PTZ preset positions configured for the given camera
- **switches** array (*Optional*): Switches to display in the frontend. By default, *none* of the switches are shown. The following switches can be monitored.
- **motion_detection**: Enable/disable motion detection setting
- **motion_recording**: Enable/disable recording on motion detection setting
**Note:** Amcrest cameras with newer firmware 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. If you defined the *stream_source* to **mjpeg**, make sure your camera supports *Basic* HTTP authentication. Newer Amcrest firmware may not work, then **rtsp** is recommended instead.

The `amcrest` switch platform lets you control settings of [Amcrest IP Camera](https://home-assistant.io/components/camera.amcrest/) through Home Assistant.
Switches will be configured automatically. Please refer to the [component](/components/amcrest/) configuration on how to setup.
