The `canary` camera platform allows you to watch the live stream of your [Canary](https://canary.is) camera in Home Assistant. This requires the [`ffmpeg` component](/components/ffmpeg/) to be already configured.
To add `canary` camera to your installation, follow instructions in [Canary component](/components/canary/). Once you have [Canary component](/components/canary/) setup, your [Canary](https://canary.is) camera(s) should show up automatically.
You can add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file to configure `canary` camera with optional settings:
```yaml
camera:
- platform: canary
```
{% configuration %}
ffmpeg_arguments:

required: false
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
