The mjpeg camera platform allows you to integrate IP cameras which are capable to stream their video with MJPEG into Home Assistant.

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

# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
  - platform: mjpeg
    mjpeg_url: http://192.168.1.92/mjpeg

Configuration variables:

• mjpeg_url (Required): The URL your camera serves the video on, eg. http://192.168.1.21:2112/
• still_image_url (Optional): The URL for thumbnail picture if camera support that.
• name (Optional): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera.
• username (Optional): The username for accessing your camera.
• password (Optional): The password for accessing your camera.

There is a known issue in urllib3 that you will get error messages in your logs like [StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect(), MultipartInvariantViolationDefect()], unparsed data: '' but the component still works fine. You can ignore the messages.
