Dear Sara,
I uploaded the code from the tutorial
ESP32-CAM Video Streaming Web Server (works with Home Assistant) and tried to create a card in Home Assistant as described. The Cam has an ip address, so I can open it in the browser. But on the card nothing shows up. My code editor has exactly the same code as described (only other ip address), but nothing happens. There is no other browser window open, only HA window/site. Then I installed MotionEye. When I want to add the cam as network camera, I get the message: Not a supported network camera. 
Do you have any idea what the problem might be? I can create an iPanel in HA pointing to the camera and then I can see the webpage from the tutorial with the still and stream. I tried to find out but I can’t find the solution. 
Thanks again.
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne.
Can you show me a picture of what is happening in your Home Assistant? And of the card too?

Hi Sara,
I have also a remote Raspberry Pi with a Rasp cam. This works in HA with MotionEye, so MotionEye is working in HA as it should.

How can I upload the images. Copy / paste doesn’t work.
Thanks Sara.

Hi.
If the IP address is correct and you don’t have any web browser tabs opened, it should work. I don’t know what might be wrong.
Does your Raspberry Pi (HA) is on the same network that the ESP32-CAM?
Do you see anything unusual on the Serial Monitor when you access HA?

Sara

Hi Sara,
What do you mean with Serial Monitor? 
The ESP32-CAM and the Raspberry Pi with HA are on the same network.
Thanks.

If the ESP32-CAM is connected to your computer, if you open the Serial Monitor, it should print something there.

Hi Sara,
The ESP32-CAM is wireless connected to the network and with MQTT connected to HA. So it has no direct connection with the Raspberry Pi. 
So I don’t know what you mean.

Hi.
I mean if you connect the ESP32-CAM to your computer using the FTDI programmer and open a Serial Monitor window, you should be able so see something there. That might give us a clue about what is going on.

Sara

Hi Sara,
I got the answer:
The address must be:
http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/stream.
Now it is working. 
Thank you for your help.
In the Serial Monitor there was nothing special going on.
So I could not find a solution over there.
Fortunately I’ve got the right answer now and I hope it will be useful for other users as well.
Kind regards,
Yvonne
