The amcrest platform allows you to integrate your Amcrest IP camera in Home Assistant.

To enable your camera in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
  - platform: amcrest
    host: IP_ADDRESS
    username: USERNAME
    password: PASSWORD

Configuration variables:

  • host (Required): The IP address or hostname of your camera. If using hostname, make sure the DNS works as expected.
  • username (Required): The username for accessing your camera.
  • password (Required): The password for accessing your camera.
  • name (Optional): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera. The default is "Amcrest Camera".
  • port (Optional): The port that the camera is running on. The default is 80.
  • resolution (Optional): This parameter allows you to specify the camera resolution. For a high resolution (1080/720p), specify the option high. For VGA resolution (640x480p), specify the option low. If omitted, it defaults to high.
