How to expose lenovo thinksmart view camera to frigate, maybe fixed already

Configuration
1

Good morning and sorry for being maybe in the wrong category.
I finally got my thinksmart view flashed and all
And now want to find out to expose the included camera to frigate.
Ultimately i want to use it as person detection to tuen on the display when someone is coming/being in the room.
Any good ideas?

Thx for any thoughts in advance

While looking further i found an app for android.
Android ip webcam, which is suppsed to do exactly that and it has a home assistant integration.
I am not home right now so i cant test it but i mught be good already. Thx either way

I got it working:
This part in the go2rtc section:

mjpeg_cam: "ffmpeg:http://your ip:2112/stream#video=h264#hardware"

and in cameras section then this call for the cam:

  mjpeg_cam:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/mjpeg_cam 
          roles:
            - detect

rest of the camera stuff like recording motion and so on stays like regular rtsp cams

hope this helps anyone

Does it work if you also have Fully or another frontend HA app working in the foreground?

Hello…
i am not sure if i understand what u are asking…
As long yakk runs, it doesnt matter if home assistant runs on this thinksmart…it will stream along…and your frigate will still receive it and process it.
But maybe that was not what u were asking

That is what I was asking thanks. I have used other programs in the past that shut down on me when it’s not in the foreground.

What else did you do to enable the camera’s? I have 2 TSV running using this process of installing android on it.

What exactly is the question?
I installed the lineageos, then homeassitant than the yakk camera server app and thats it…configured the yakk tho autostart homeassistant and to stream the video
