The `foscam` platform allows you to watch the live stream of your [Foscam](http://www.foscam.com/) IP camera in Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To enable your Foscam IP camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
camera:
|
|
- platform: foscam
|
|
ip: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
username: YOUR_USERNAME
|
|
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **ip** (*Required*): The IP address your camera.
|
|
- **port** (*Optional*): The port that the camera is running on. The default is 88.
|
|
- **username** (*Required*): The username for accessing your camera.
|
|

There seems to be some issues within Foscam with lengthy passwords and passwords containing certain symbols. Be sure to check your camera's documentation.

### {% linkable_title Control Foscam PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) - Home/Away %}
|
|
|
|
Foscam Webcams which support CGI Commands can be controlled by Home Assistant ([Source](http://www.ipcamcontrol.net/files/Foscam%20IPCamera%20CGI%20User%20Guide-V1.0.4.pdf)). For an example of how this can be done, see the [Foscam IP Camera Pan, Tilt, Zoom Control](/cookbook/foscam_away_mode_PTZ/) Cookbook entry.
