IP Webcam installation and configuration

Chuck Connors edited this page Mar 7, 2024 · 5 revisions

IP Webcam is used to stream the audio from the Android device to the HA server. Download and install the app. Scroll down and start server. Allow all permissions

Enter the settings page and set:

Optional Permissions ->

  • Allow streaming in background Accept Android system permissions

Power management ->

  • Turn on 'Disable notification' and 'Stream on device boot'

This will allow for the IP Webcam app to stream audio/video to Stream Assist via RTSP. This stream can also be used with HA as a webcam if you like as well. I have not explored audio only streaming using this app but did note that Stream Assist may not work if video is not present. You can lower resolution settings in the 'Video Prefences' section.
