 #### Camera IDs: Refering to cameras in card configuration
 
-Each camera configured in the card has a single identifier (`id`). For a given camera, this will be one of the camera {`id`, `camera_entity`, `webrtc_card.entity` or `camera_name`} parameters for that camera -- in that order of precedence. These ids may be used in conditions or custom actions to refer to a given camera unambiguously. |
