Stream in Home Assistant App #431

Closed BeHappyYou closed 4 months ago

BeHappyYou commented 4 months ago

Hello,

Is it possible to use a (picture) card to have a stream of the ESP32 camera visible in the Home Assistant App. When I use http://IP_ADDRESS/sustain?stream=0 I see the stream when I am at home.

I would like to see it also in the Home Assistant App when I am not at home. Anyone an idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks!

port forward

@s60sc Thank you!

I did look further into it to see if it is possible to prevent ‘port forward’.

I did the following: 1) At the camera's webpage I activated ‘Edit Config -> Motion -> "Enable NVR Video stream: /sustain?video=1"’ 2) At the Home Assistant I added ‘Devices & Services -> Add integration -> Generic Camera: rtsp stream: http://IP_ADDRESS/sustain?video=1 and selected HTTP.’ 3) I added the "Frigate Lovelace Card" under HACS. 4) In the Overview section I added the Frigate Lovelace Card and selected the Generic Camera.

That’s it.

You don't need to install Frigate of Go2RTC or any other addidtional add-on.

Hope this helps and thanks a lot for the excellent work you are doing! 😊
