Proxying parameters:
| Option | Default | Description |
| ------------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `live` | `auto` | Whether or not to proxy live streams. `true` to proxy, `false` to not proxy, or `auto` to allow the camera engine to decide whether to proxy or not. Not all [live providers](./live-provider.md) support proxying live streams. |
| `media` | `auto` | Whether or not to proxy media items. `true` to proxy, `false` to not proxy, or `auto` to allow the camera engine to decide whether to proxy or not. |
| `dynamic` | `true` | Whether to dynamically (at the time) request proxying of the required media item, or rely on statically user-configured pre-existing proxying. See the [hass-web-proxy-integration documentation](https://github.com/dermotduffy/hass-web-proxy-integration). |

| `ssl_ciphers` | `auto` | Whether to use `default`, `intermediate`, `insecure` or `modern` SSL ciphers.

If `auto` resolves to proxying, the card will still fall back to the original URL if the proxy integration is unavailable. Not all [live providers](./live-provider.md) support proxying live streams. |
