2. From the three-dots menu in the top right, select Repositories
3. Enter the URI of this repository https://github.com/joecstarr/ha-cam-cover and click Add

After adding the repository, refresh the Add-on Store. Then, you should be able to choose the Streaming Camera Tag Detection add-on and install it.

After installation, set up the following configuration for the add-on:

• tag_event_device_id: Device ID to set for the origin of the events, e.g. the ID of the camera device
• camera_rtsp_stream: URI of the RTSP stream to consume

Finally, start the plugin. It is recommended to enable the watchdog in case anything fails.
