+Displaying a live feed from an FFMPEG camera:

+{% raw %}
+```yaml
+type: picture-entity
+entity: camera.backdoor
+camera_view: live
+tap_action:
+  action: call-service
+  service: camera.snapshot
+  service_data:
+    entity_id: camera.backdoor
+    filename: '/shared/backdoor-{{ now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S") }}.jpg'
+```
+{% endraw %}
+
+The filename needs to be a path that is writable by Home Assistant in your system. You may need to configure `whitelist_external_dirs` ([documentation](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/basic/)).
