Esp32 cam and frigate

Andreas11 · August 17, 2023, 2:30am

Hi

I have a esp32 cam and I can’t get it to work with frigate/HA. I have tried a number of setups/settings/combinations.

I have tried both esphome and arduino setup. Both methods work in a web browser but not in frigate.

I have frigate in docker on a Synology with high performs and shm size 128mb.

Synology DS218+, cpu 2ghz, ram 6144mb
HA latest version on NUCi3.

My RSPT camera works but not my esp32 cam.

What do I have to do, do get it to work?

Thank you!

Use the IP address of the Kamera, or fix your mDNS/DNS

Andreas11 · August 17, 2023, 1:55pm

Great, Thank you! Changed to IP

I have played around a bit now, but still no luck.
Sometime I get no frames, sometime I get looks like a snapshot picture, it comes and goes.

Between all changes, I have restarted HA, esp32 cam and frigate docker .
