### Step 1: Add a detect stream ### Step 1: Start Frigate
First we will add the detect stream for the camera: At this point you should be able to start Frigate and a basic config will be created automatically.
```yaml ### Step 2: Add a camera
mqtt:
enabled: False
cameras: You can click the `Add Camera` button to use the camera setup wizard to get your first camera added into Frigate.
name_of_your_camera: # <------ Name the camera
enabled: True
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://10.0.10.10:554/rtsp # <----- The stream you want to use for detection
roles:
- detect
```
### Step 2: Start Frigate
At this point you should be able to start Frigate and see the video feed in the UI.
If you get an error image from the camera, this means ffmpeg was not able to get the video feed from your camera. Check the logs for error messages from ffmpeg. The default ffmpeg arguments are designed to work with H264 RTSP cameras that support TCP connections.
FFmpeg arguments for other types of cameras can be found [here](../configuration/camera_specific.md).
