The foscam platform allows you to watch the live stream of your Foscam IP camera in Home Assistant.
Configuration
To enable your Foscam IP camera in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: foscam
ip: IP_ADDRESS
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
{% configuration %} ip: description: The IP address your camera. required: true type: string port: description: The port that the camera is running on. required: false default: 88 type: integer rtsp_port: description: The port that the camera uses for RTSP. This is normally auto-discovered but some models may need this set, such as the R2 and R2C. required: false default: None type: integer username: description: The username for accessing your camera. required: true type: string password: description: The password for accessing your camera. required: true type: string name: description: This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
There seems to be some issues within Foscam with lengthy passwords and passwords containing certain symbols. Be sure to check your camera's documentation.
