That was the type of videos I was expecting from you: in several of your past tests on IP/Wifi cameras, I was wondering "... and what about HA integration?" So thanks a lot, that's extremely useful.

[@WillSurridgeTech]

More to come! I've been a little distant from HA lately so trying to get back into it!

[@ItsMrBlue_]

You have some good informative videos! You deserve more subs , keep doing what you are doing

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Thanks, will do!

[@adamcopeland9432]

Great video, looks like the C200 is the way to go for me! Subscribed

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Good choice!

[@lamb237]

Thank for your great review. Now that the IP4M-1051 is discontinued and replaced with the IP4M-1041, do you still recommend the latter over the E1 Zoom.

[@gabortoth3374]

Hello. Great video! If C200 can work without internet, can you disable the cloud connection from HA? If not, how is it possible? Thanks

[@TomWakeford]

Thanks for the video! Does the Amcrest have the audio detection? You mentioned it towards the end but just wanted to check I can set triggers based off it.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Great Information as always! Well done.

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Thanks for watching

Hello I am looking for an easily integrated interior camera, which records on my SSD. Would that be suitable in your opinion. Thank you for your help Mike

Hello I am looking for an easily integrated interior camera, which records on my SSD. I saw this Reolink 5MP PTZ Camera It looks good Would that be suitable in your opinion. Thank you for your help Mike

[@paulbacon5056]

Hi, Can you check if the method to connect the C200 to home assistant is still working. I keep trying but keep getting the error of invalid authentication. Many thanks.

[@randykreisel2265]

I purchased the amcrest ash21 and followed the steps in your video and I can not get it to work. Doesn't like the http call to get machine name. Any suggestions?

[@tonydematteis5029]

Thank you for your always informative content!! Question: I was wondering about the Reolink HACS integration and the Amcrest which shows on the Lovelace UI immedately following the yaml configuration. I've been trying to get an Annke C800 4K camera stream configured and after following a number of Home Assistant Community posts and days of messing with it, I still can't get the stream to work. I know the RTSP stream works as I have it/the URL working in MotionEye as well as Blue Iris. So I don't believe it's on the camera side or the URL I'm using. Any suggestions? Thanks and Best!

[@WillSurridgeTech]

Good question, I've never used Annke so not 100% sure, if the stream is working, but it's not loading then it's probably a bandwidth thing and it cant decode it in time...try using the sub stream or reducing quality to see if that helps?
