Frigate question- CPU usage

[tmjpugh]

@ddaniel

What do you mean by “Width and height is based on resolution of detect stream” ?
is this width and height configured on a camera webui?

I mean frigate config file. I don’t use add on so not sure if camera config has UI for that in add on.
Some camera have 2 stream. HD and SD. In frigate you may add both. The detect in config is set to the detect width/height

cameras:
  driveway_cam:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        #SD 1280x720
        - path: rtsp://lowres:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=0
          roles: 
            - detect
        #HD 2840x1920
        - path: rtsp://HD:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1
          roles: 
            - record
    detect:
      width: 1280
      height: 720
      fps: 10

I know that lot of motion will drastically increase cpu usage, but I can’t do much about it. If wind is blowing leaves on the trees will create a lot of motion.

Will mask a tree tomorrow during the day.
Just cheeking my webui config for intercom. It support two resolutions 1280 * 780 and 1920 * 1080 and six settings for video quality.
From what you send me I should be able to switch between those two streams that are supported by the camera.
But from your file I don’t understand how to do it. My input is like this

- path: rtsp://username:password@192xxxx

Oh I think I got it. My camera does support two streams main and substream. Both stream are accessible by ffplay. To change between streams I have to use “/Streaming/Channels/101/ or 102”.
But for now I can’t set it up in frigate. I put two rtsp lines like you showed me in frigate config file but addon won’t start.

Edit:
I started addon with two streams. Thank you for your help.
