Camera Notes
The Amcrest AD410 doorbell camera expects to have an internet connection to use Amcrest's cloud services. If it detects it is disconnected, it will flash the ring light. The connection state can be read and set via the camera's REST interface. Since Home Assistant does not support digest authentication with the REST service, a command is used to set the connection state. The command is kept in a secret since it includes camera authentication data, but it uses the following cURL command:
$ curl -X POST --digest -u admin:{password} -v 'http://{camera_ip}/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VSP_PaaS.Online=true'
