I recently got the DS-HD1 a few months back and it works great. I setup Home Assistant a few days ago and trying to figure out how i get the doorbell stream on my dashboard. What i want to do is setup a seperate tab on my dashboard that i can view the stream when i click the tab. I cant seem to figure a way to do this. My HA does see the doorbell but i cant seem to get the stream setup the way i want.

Is this even possible? I have searched for hours and couldnt find my answers.

Anyone do this?

New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

As far as my DB1 goes, I'm debating on either repurposing it, keep it as a backup or try to sell it. If you have another exterior door and it already has a doorbell (or can be wired for a doorbell easily) then I would say repurpose it. Otherwise I'd probably sell it. I put mine in the garage...

This works for me in HA:

Define the camera in the configuration file (modify as needed):

- platform: generic
still_image_url: ""
stream_source: "rtsp:/username:userpass@xx.xx.xx.xx/Streaming/Channels/101?transportmode=unicast&profile=Profile_1"
name: doorbell_camera

In lovelace.yaml (modifiy as needed):

- title: Doorbell Camera
icon: mdi:cctv
cards:
- type: vertical-stack
cards:
- camera_image: camera.doorbell_camera
camera_view: live
entity: camera.doorbell_camera
show_name: false
show_state: false
name: Doorbell Camera
type: picture-entity

I am not quite sure what to do with the above. Can you give me a little more direction to a newbie?

When i paste this in the lovelace.yaml file i get this after every line

end of the stream or a document separator is expected
