Advanced Camera Card a.k.a. Frigate Card super secret configurations?

So I like to learn on my own, however the documentation for this card is far too extensive with very few examples that show what they do. Lots of descriptions of what the examples are supposed to do but almost no screenshots included and the configuration is still a bit boggling. My goal is to show screenshots that refresh every 5 or 10 seconds so I don’t have to show the full stream. When motion is detected I show the full stream and some text. I would prefer grayscale while no motion but it doesn’t seem possible. This shows a full stream and nothing else works all the time. Doesn’t matter what I put where. I could do this with automations and the like but that seems like a lot of work for what I think this card will do. These are all Reolink cameras.

So just in case it helps anyone else here is the config I’m using now that seems to work like expected. The first config are my Reolink cameras. The second config is my Ring cameras. I still haven’t mastered the automations but at least this is working like it’s supposed to.

Reolink, refreshes a snapshot every 15 seconds from my fluent camera but switches to live on clear if a person is detected

type: custom:advanced-camera-card
cameras:
  - camera_entity: camera.front_yard_fluent
    view:
      default: image
      refresh_mode: interval
      refresh_interval: 15
    default_reset:
      entities:
        - binary_sensor.front_yard_person
overrides:
  - conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity: binary_sensor.front_yard_person
        state: "on"
    merge:
      camera_entity: camera.front_yard_clear
      view:
        default: live

Ring (with MQTT turned on)

type: custom:advanced-camera-card
cameras:
  - camera_entity: camera.front_door_ring_snapshot
    view:
      default: image
      refresh_mode: interval
      refresh_interval: 15
    default_reset:
      entities:
        - binary_sensor.front_door_ring_motion
overrides:
  - conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity: binary_sensor.front_door_ring_motion
        state: "on"
    merge:
      camera_entity: camera.front_door_camera
      view:
        default: live
