PTZ on Frigate card

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi everyone, I am using the Advanced Camera Card v7.26.0 (Frigate card). This card is awesome but I have a problem.
I can’t use PTZ command on my camera (imou, onvif protocol) with this card.
I tried to use the default ptz configuration of the card, I tried to add manually the onvif service into the configuration but it doesn’t work.

Anyone has an example of his configuration please ?

Thank you !

Hi,
this is mine

  - camera_entity: camera.frig_8_ptz
    title: PTZ
    go2rtc:
      modes:
        - mse
      stream: ptz1_hi
    capabilities:
      disable: []
    proxy:
      dynamic: false
      media: false
    webrtc_card:
      entity: camera.frig_8_ptz
    live_provider: go2rtc

and looks like this:

Do you have a specific configuration in Frigate ?

Frigate config, just to this camera related.
I didn’t bother with ‘object tracking’ feature because I don’t need it.

Thank you for your answer.
Thank to you, now, I can use PTZ control into Frigate. But my card still doesn’t work.
You don’t have anything more inside the .yaml of your card ?

6

No, I don’t. Did you try to restart frigate integration, as far as I remember, it was necessary to do so.

7

Actually, I do have some YAML more, common for all cameras:

live:
  auto_play:
    - selected
    - visible
  controls:
    ptz:
      orientation: horizontal
      position: bottom-right
  microphone:
    always_connected: false
  lazy_load: true
  lazy_unload:
    - unselected

Thank you for the details
I already tried to restart frigate but it still doesn’t work.
I can use PTZ control in Frigate integration, but not with de Frigate card.
I don’t understand why it’s not working

9

Try with this:

live:
  controls:
    ptz:
      mode: on
10

The arrows are displayed, but not working with this code

type: custom:advanced-camera-card
cameras:

  • camera_entity: camera.camera_imou
    live:
    controls:
    ptz:
    mode: “on”

In camera_entity, i need to put the camera i configured in Frigate right ?

I found a solution :
I call a script by pushing PTZ arrows:

type: custom:advanced-camera-card
cameras:
  - camera_entity: camera.camera_imou
    live_provider: go2rtc
    go2rtc:
      modes:
        - webrtc
      stream: entree_hd
    ptz:
      actions_left:
        action: perform-action
        perform_action: script.camera_left
      actions_right:
        action: perform-action
        perform_action: script.camera_right
      actions_up:
        action: perform-action
        perform_action: script.camera_up
      actions_down:
        action: perform-action
        perform_action: script.camera_down
live:
  controls:
    ptz:
      mode: "on"
      position: bottom-left
      orientation: horizontal
