This link was great! Finally was able to apply the hack to my Xiaomi Dafang IP cam.

However, trying to add the camera to Homey results in an error due to the self signed certificate that is used:

Any tips?

Hello Homey Forum,

we wrote a guide on how to add a HD or Full HD Camera to a Homey controlled smarthome. This guide is specifically written for INSTAR Cameras - but by replacing the CGI commands, JPG URLs, etc. can be used with any IP camera that still has a local HTTP REST API:

More then OK. Just pick one with a stream possibility. The C1/2 don’t have that option for example.

I’m looking at a Foscam c2m. Don’t understand what you mean by a stream possibility?

When f.e. the very cool [PiPup app](https://community.homey.app/t/pipup/18498) is used, one can stream a live feed from a cam to the AndroidTV. When u have a C2 this is not possible.  
Also streaming a live feed to ur Google Nest Hub when someone hits ur doorbell is not possible with a C2.

Interesting [https://youtu.be/UxjgisphOt4](https://youtu.be/UxjgisphOt4) says you can link up with Google assistant?

The foscam cameras I’m looking at is listed as working with GA?

I’m more inclined to go with wyze which seems more secure but it doesn’t work with homey?
