hi all. i’m new to camera stuff and just want to play around with things before purchasing dedicated hardware. i have an old Android phone and loaded IP Webcam on it. it works and streams in Home Assistant fine. i’m trying to setup Frigate (also new to this), but i can’t seem to get the camera stream to work there. i’m using http://[ip-address]:8080/video as the ffmpeg path value in the Frigate config file, but it just shows up as a blank (green) box in the Frigate UI. anyone else doing something similar or have any suggestions for getting the camera stream viewable in Frigate?
Please read the frigate docs, different args are required for non rtsp streams Camera Specific Configurations | Frigate
Actually, I just found that I can use the following url that works fine with it:
http://[ip-address]:8080/h264_pcm.sdp
