The `amcrest` platform allows you to integrate your [Amcrest](https://amcrest.com/) IP camera in Home Assistant.
To enable your camera in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# 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*.
