{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable your Foscam IP camera in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: foscam
ip: IP_ADDRESS
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
{% configuration %} ip: description: The IP address your camera. required: true type: string port: description: The port that the camera is running on. required: false default: 88 type: integer username: description: The username for accessing your camera. required: true type: string password: description: The password for accessing your camera. required: true type: string name: description: This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
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). For an example of how this can be done, see the Foscam IP Camera Pan, Tilt, Zoom Control Cookbook entry.
