Local realtime person detection for RTSP cameras

Okay. That’s what I would have suggested since it has the same data, but if that isn’t what you want it isn’t helpful to you.
Sorry I can’t help.

Is something else is triggering motion detection?

Every 10 seconds, definetly no. It was consistent over 6hours until car drive away.

Is it possible that the timestamp is triggering it? :smiley:
As the timestamp is not from frigate…
I removed the timestamp, will see in the future if it was it :smiley: But i think you were right :slight_smile: thx

Yes. I believe that can trigger motion detection but I have not had that issue.

You should be able to see motion in live view by enabling bounding boxes. If time stamp is triggering it you will see it detect that. I believe some people had to mask out time stamp to prevent detection

@DrSpaldo, did you ever get Authelia to work with HA? I decided to try to tackle that tonight and failed, HA seems like a challenge since I want it to work with the Android mobile app.

Hi @SpikeyGG , unfortunately I didn’t. I had a few hours spare, so I tried and failed :frowning:

I may give it another go if these kids ever give me a break!

I have been a little hesitant/cautious as I didn’t want to break my current install.

We can move the discussion over to your other thread for when I try again

what does the following show for you?

choose you camera
click Debug at the top right
then under the image, click
SHOW OPTIONS
toggle
Bounding box
Motion boxes

Does it show a clean image or do you see a bunch of boxes popping up.
When I’m viewing an image, I get constant boxes appearing.

It just so happens that I increased camera resolution on two cams me immediately after the time stamp from cameras begin trigger motion detect

As i removed the timestamp from the camera setup, now its definetly okay.So that was the problem

For anyone interested, I have posted in @SpikeyGG 's thread :

Anyone have Authelia working with HA to handle authentication? - Configuration - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)

It is how I got Home Assistant working with Authelia. I used pretty much the same method for Frigate to be authenticated with Authelia (and Cloudflare, Nginx, etc) on Unraid

Yup, I have this issue too. It seems to get worse with time. After restarting the docker instance for Frigate, the system will record clips about 50-60% of the time… after a week of running it seems to completely stop recording clips altogether.

I still get the notifications from Home Assistant and it includes a picture from the incident but there’s no clip of it and the messages in the log file just say things like this:

All my cameras are Reolink, the clips role is assigned to the rtmp sub channel. Like this:

rtmp://{OUT_THE_BACK_CAMERA_IP}/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user={FRIGATE_RTSP_USERNAME}&password={FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}

This is the biggest thing bugging me about Frigate right now because it’s completely inconsistent on when it decides to record a clip and when it doesn’t. I have not been able to find any way to increase the logging in order to debug the problem.

Actualy for me everything sorted out, the problem was with config.

What did you change? I still cannot seem to get mine to function properly.

Hi all.

I don’t seem unable to save clips. In the “media/clips” directory I just see snapshot png/jpgs. But no videos.
I am running Frigate in a container on my NAS using a Coral USB
I think I have enabled the role for clips?
Any Ideas?

Is there any way to configure frigate to use external USB mounted storage for recordings?

Hello together,
because of zmNinja - Support ends by end of 2021 i looked for alternatives…
Here i found Frigate.
I startet configuring frigate on my Unraidserver.
i’m using the frigate-nvidia docker container…
For some reasons i can’t get my Reolink RLC520 Camera’s to work properly…

Here is my Configuration:

But the Camera livestream is comming up correctly in frigate …
I have looked into the setting but the resolution is configured correctly…
Are there any errors in my config with RTMP?!

thanks in advance
chris

I am not sure what the difference between the Reolink RLC520 and my Reolink RLC-410-5MP is. However, I could only get it working reliably with RTMP not RTSP. Here is how I did my config if this helps:

  frontdriveway:
    ffmpeg:
      input_args: #Use for RTMP
        - -avoid_negative_ts
        - make_zero
        - -fflags
        - nobuffer
        - -flags
        - low_delay
        - -strict
        - experimental
        - -fflags
        - +genpts+discardcorrupt
        - -rw_timeout
        - '5000000'
        - -use_wallclock_as_timestamps
        - '1'
      hwaccel_args:
        - -hwaccel
        - qsv
        - -qsv_device
        - /dev/dri/renderD128
      output_args:
        clips: -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_format mp4 -reset_timestamps 1 -strftime 1 -c copy
      inputs:
        - path: rtmp://192.168.1.105/bcs/channel0_sub.bcs?channel=0&stream=1&user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD
          roles:
            - detect
            - rtmp
            - record
        - path: rtmp://192.168.1.105/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD

    objects:

Nice i just played a bit with the resolution and set it to 2048x1536 and now it working properly…

Thanks
