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?

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
