@jack_daniel He wrote the best guide to how to handle corruption that I’ve ever read. It should be required reading for anyone travelling somewhere they’re likely to encounter petty bribery.

The genius of it is how he explains the world view that you have to operate inside, as well as the ways to navigate it. From paying bribes to pulling out fake journalist credentials, to deescalating situations and handling egos and reputations. How to give face and keep things from getting out of hand.
Truly amazing. I don’t know if he wrote anything else that was any good, but this was excellent.
@Viss I've used the Generic Camera integration (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic/)
So in this case it would be something like this, and you'd put your extra parameter in the still_image_url.
camera:
- platform: generic
name: Driveway
still_image_url: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?stream=0&username=12345&password=12345
stream_source: rtsp://192.168.1.1/h264?username=12345&password=12345
username: 12345
password: 12345
verify_ssl: false
framerate: 1
@raineer @Viss @jerry Realistically, you don't need a support contract if your in-house staff knows how to keep it running. If that thing breaks irreparably, or your SME leaves, then you can let that broken thing go if it wasn't really that important to you.
But if that thing is really important to your business AND you don't have someone in-house that can fix it or support it, then you really want that support contract. Of course, you can also try to find an hourly consultant to fix it.. probably for more than the cost of a support contract.
