```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry

name: my sample camera
username: USERNAME
password: PASSWORD
```
Configuration variables:
- **mjpeg_url** *Required*: The URL your camera serves the video on, eg. http://192.168.1.21:2112/
- **name** *Optional*: This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.
- **username** *Optional*: The username for accessing your camera.
