Room Entity Dark - Camera

[Thunder7ga]

I am working on a new dashboard, and using cameras for various rooms as the primary room entity. One works fine, the other 3 are too dark,almost like it thinks its not active/on. Any ideas how to fix? See the 3 below all dark.

@Thunder7ga yeah that is odd, what is their state (take pic of the entity in the dev tools)? should be like streaming or recording typically for "on"

if they have an odd active state we can just add some more config to the card to make them light up

The state appears to be set to "recording". The one that is working (which is a different camera manufacturer), seems to be "streaming".

are they amcrest? i had to put mine into continuous record mode.

can you share your yaml, we may need to add sometthing to make it bright even during "streaming"

The ones not showing up correctly are Unifi G4 Instants.

`type: custom:room-summary-card
area: tool_room
background:
opacity: 60
entity:
entity_id: camera.tool_room_g4_instant_medium_resolution_channel
tap_action:
action: more-info

try this

type: custom:room-summary-card
area: dining_room
entity:
  entity_id: camera.tool_room_g4_instant_medium_resolution_channel
  styles:
    "--opacity-icon-fill-inactive": 1

I have a single camera that does similar thing

Thanks. That does seem to make it much more visible in terms of what is expected.
