I’ve been exploring how to integrate my IP cameras into my smart home setup, and I’m excited to share some insights and experiences! 
The Goal: I want my Axis IP camera to automatically stream video to my TV when the doorbell rings. The doorbell is currently analogue, but I plan to connect it to my Home Assistant (HA) system to trigger events. The challenge is ensuring the video stream goes directly to the TV without relying on the server to route or convert it. Current Setup: - Camera: Axis IP camera with RTSP H264 stream. - TV: Supports Miracast and AirPlay via Mirascreen. - HA: Running on a server, ready to handle the automation logic. Questions and Explorations: 1. Does Miracast support direct streaming from the camera to the TV without involving the HA server? 2. How can I ensure the stream is optimized for performance and reliability? Research and Tips: - Some users mentioned using variables to maintain states, which could be useful for ensuring the system doesn’t lose track of the doorbell status after a restart. - Others shared tricks for removing sticky wall mounts, which might come in handy if I need to reposition devices later. Community Support: It’s amazing how supportive this community is! If anyone has experience with similar setups or tips for optimizing the video stream, I’d love to hear them. Let’s brainstorm together! 
Stay curious and keep automating!
