Hi All i just finish with the installation and been reading for the last 5 hours on how to get the ffmpeg configruation correct. But can someone explain to me for the love of god… what the hell is all these thing your all adding on to the ffmpeg mean? where to get those information off my camera? and which one to choice?
I have 6 dahua cameras every single one come back with FFMPEG process crashed unexpectedly, …You may have invalid args defined for this camera… I mean hell is there like a table, program, compatible sheet we can get spec from?
FYI currently I’m not even using for recording or detection (at least not until i get a coral HW) I just want to use it for streaming as it does have much lower lag them any addon I tested. Will webRTC is like 500ms faster but its PIA to get it working on WAN.
No need to add any extra arguments for ffmpeg for Dahua camera’s, the default settings will work for the Dahua.
If you want audio from the camera as well then you will need to change some parameters which are actually documented on the frigate.video documentation.
Make sure that on your cameras you have x264 instead of x265 and make sure you set the correct resolution of the camera.
Always start to configure one camera first to make Frigate working after which you can add other cameras to the config.
Would you mind helping me out in the thread below?
Im trying desperately to get the usb coral going on proxmox straight up through USB with no pcie slots to pass through.
If i have to run frigate in its own lxc for coral to work i can live with that, but then how did you integrate with home assistant and the frigate add-in etc such that you can still see and browse the recordings from the home assistant app etc?
Thanks!
Will as much as I hate seeing all the error so far the steam feed is coming over good. Only got 2 sec delay even view over wan. So I guess I’ll can ignore all those error for now, since I’m still testing the program. My current BI setting up is running nicely.
However as was testing out cameras load on the system. Found another issue which is even much odd. It seems it doesn’t like more then 2 cameras lol… See below SS. Let me be clear these three cameras are setup the same, both in set my camera setting and in frigate config. And all 3 camera are the same brand and mode. Pretty much the 3rd camera that get load up eat the dust, no matter which one it is very very ODD…
I’m running the friage addon. My hassio is in proxmox vm on a NUCi3 gen 8, 16gb ram, 500gb m.2 SSD with 8gb ram allot to HA.
Read the Frigate docs again, all the information is there. You install Home-assistant integration and configure it with remote IP of your lxc running Frigate, this will give you cameras and other frigate entities in Home-Assistant. If you want to see Frigate in the sidebar you will need to use Frigate Proxy add-on in Home-Assistant.
haha that does it. Got all 6 cameras loaded up. rtmp steam setting to 1280x720 only with no record or detect turn on added 16% cpu load on HA according to the frigate info. Not bad considering now viewing live steam on wan it almost the same live view in VLC on lan. This is
Question im using the frigate hass card if i do live stream with frigate setting it have audio, but if i use frigate jsmpeg setting it doesn’t have audio. Is that the limitation of jsmpeg format? I do prefer jsmpeg as compare frigate. Frigate setting have an 6 sec delay I think that setting is just via direct rstp steam as it about the same delay as onvif format.
Also after awhile running all those error pop up again, however it does seem to effect the steam. Anyone have a cameras configuring for dahua? armcrest will work too.
Sorry to hijack with a silly one - I’ve been able to pull my Nest Wired Doorbell into HA as a camera entiry (camera.front_door). I’ve not been able to get an rtsp stream URL though…
Is it at all possible to use the camera.front_door entity in Frigate?

can you point me in the right direction?
I have a dedicated SSD
I moved the cache to external SSD and I moved to the 10beta6 image,
I don’t get any more the error regarding the disk space, but i started to see this

Is there a way for me to get the notification to my phone immediately when an event is starting? I mean at least a snapshot of the motion event? I do get the notifications but it’s after the person (for example delivery guy) left my front door. I tried to make the notification with a priority but it’s still the same.
@tinglis1 Did you need to do anything special to make it work in the 7060 ?
I have a 7060sff, and just installed a dual coral e into the wifi slot, and its not detected in proxmox
In the bios wifi+bt is enabled, so that should turn the m.2 slot on ?
I also have uefi mode set in the bios/proxmox
I use mine with unraid, i had to install a driver to make it work with docker. Hardware for use with docker needs to have drivers installed on the host.
If you are using proxmox it should show as a device to pass through.
This is the detected hardware details unraid shows for me.
