hello friends I bought a camera that is ONVIF to insert it in hubitat, for now I can see it and tinycam, what would be the next step for hubitat? the camera is a TAPO C200, I hope your help and sorry, I am a newbie
The most direct way is to use a camera that can stream mjpeg, as a couple people have mentioned. That streaming URL can be added directly to a dashboard tile.
At the moment I have been able to open it by tinycam in chrome, but I have entered the address that it gives me in hubitat and I do not get anything, how would that be about mjpeg?
I don’t know that much about tinycam. But I assume that means you’re running it on an android device and using its web server?
Is tinycam re-encoding your camera as an mjpeg stream? If not, I don’t think you can use the URL in your Hubitat dashboard directly.
Put the address from TinyCam into an image tile in your dashboard, as the background url.

Since you are using TinyCam you may also want to try this app. It will enable you to activate virtual motion sensors in HE from your cameras in TinyCam when they see motion or AI object detection of people, vehicles, pets, faces.
Enjoy!
I don't think it transmits it in mjpeg.
I put the URL that it gives me in chrome watching tinycam, in the dashboard I put an image and nothing comes out, what a failure
It is my example to follow, hopefully it can help me
Should be like this
http://192.168.tcaddress : tcport/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?user=&pwd=&camera=1&resolution=640x450
The cam number is the camera order in tinycam and the username and password set in tiny cam
Web server needs to be on
Thanks for answering in the web browser, I do not get that, I get what I have sent, the IP address, the Port number, i live, I do not get what you have put, I will try to do it as you say but I think it will not work
The url you posted above is the RTSP feed from your camera.
You will need to go into Tinycam and turn on the webserver to get the output video feed from tinycam.
I recommend going to Tinycam website and read up on the procedure. I no longer use Tinycam otherwise I would guide you through it.
Just put what I posted replacing the IP and PORT with what is showing on tiny cam when you click Enable Web server.
http://IP:PORT/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?user=&pwd=&camera=1&resolution=640x450
If you have a password on TINY CAM put them between the '=' and the '&' for user and pwd(password)

@mark.cockcroft In the hubitat application I do not get the camera, from the browser yes, how can I see it from the application? since I am interested in seeing him away from home, not being at home, is there any way?
No, because your external ip my change.
What I do is have tinycam on my phone as well and have it set to look at the Web server version I have running ( like you now have set)
there is no way to see the camera outside the home through hubitat?
Hello??
