Home Assistant Camera forward to RTSP

I’ve been recently experimenting with different Homekit security cameras and integrating them into Home Assistant. However, I’ve been wanting to take things up a notch by pushing my cameras into Frigate and use its built-in detection features to help eliminate false positives on the motion detection I use for automations. That being said, I’ve been finding it very difficult to push the cameras into Frigate without having a link that the cameras’ feed is hosted through (I.e. RTSP). Is there somewhere within Home Assistant I can either find or generate said link to send it through Frigate? My temporary measure is to host the camera in its Native App, pipe that through Scrypted (add-on), push that to Frigate (add-on), and that expose it back to Home Assistant. Obviously, this isn’t ideal as my goal is complete local control while saving money and this solution is very resource intensive.

The cameras I have been experimenting with are Tapo C125s and TC73’s.

if your camera is in HA then you can add it to frigate via go2rtc hass integration (go2rtc is built in to frigate)

I am running frigate via docker on a separate server from Home Assistant. I have recently added a homekit camera. The live feed is available in Home Assistant via the Homekit device integration (i.e. - the camera is using Home Assistant as its homekit controller). Can either of you clarify how I might use go2rtc to get the camera feed into frigate.
