Hey all, new to the forums! Im not sure where to post this so Im starting here. If it is incorrect, my apologies and admins can move or delete.
Anyway, I have BI installed (Latest stable version) and import my cameras (13 of them) in to Home Assistant via the integration. Most of them work fine however I have a few that get imported but dont have a video entity. I see other entities associated with the cameras but not video, so I cant use picture card to get my feed. Ive tried rebooting BI, the cameras and HA but no go. In my overview dash, they dont show up either. It possible there are just some cameras that dont support that? For the cameras in question I can use webrtc-camera integration but it pretty much sucks. Feed comes through for about a second then a spinning wheel for a second, then back to feed for a second etc etc etc. Any other suggestions appreciated!
 
Could you clarify what you are referring to as the latest stable version! It is best to specify the actual version in all requests, that way people looking at this thread later will know the version being referred to!
 
Any other suggestions appreciated!
Couple of things to check....
  1. Are the cameras that are not working configured to use H64 in the cameras UI?
  2. Is the stream type in the HA BI integration set to H264?
  3. Are all the camera components enabled in the HA BI integration?
