Good day, Im having difficulties with integrating an Ajax camera in Homey. I have installed ONVIF Camera from Adrian Rockall. The Ajax cam has ONVIF enabled. Im not able to get a screen shot from the camera in Homey. Can someone please help me. ---

> [@Bas\_Kleijnjan](#): > > Ajax camera Welcome to this platform Bas, If there’s no [APP](https://homey.app/nl-nl/apps/browse/#filter?query=Ajax&platform=local) for this device, you can’t add it to your Homey. There are generic devices, but not for cameras. ---

That’s not entirely true, Ruud. The TS wrote the cam already works with the Onvif Camera app. This works with _any_ camera supporting the generic ONVIF protocol. But, in case of no snapshot functionality, it needs a specific developed app. ---

Please use the Onvif camera app topic for your questions, as mentioned at the app page @ homey.app store. This way you reach the developer and fellow app users much better. . About > [@Bas\_Kleijnjan](#): > > Im not able to get a screen shot from the camera in Homey I’ve two Reolink cams, one has the same problem you mentioned, because it has no webserver to provide for the pictures.

Hoi @Daniel_4 en @Bas_Kleijnjan , mochten jullie Ajax camera al willen gebruiken in Homey. Bij mij doen de deurbel en camera het perfect met juiste detectie (bel gedrukt/ visitor detected). Ik hoop dat Addy Rock het snel integreert in de onvif app, anders zou je mijn dev versie van de PR kunnen proberen. ---
