### RTMP (Deprecated)
In previous Frigate versions RTMP was used for re-streaming. RTMP has disadvantages however including being incompatible with H.265, high bitrates, and certain audio codecs. RTMP is deprecated and it is recommended to move to the new restream role.
## Reduce Connections To Camera
Some cameras only support 1 active connection or you may just want to have a single connection open to the camera. The RTSP restream allows this to be possible.
### Single Stream
One connection is made to the camera. One for the restream, `detect` and `record` connect to the restream.
```yaml
cameras:
test_cam:
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://localhost:8554/test_cam # <--- the name here must match the name of the camera
roles:
- record
- detect
- path: rtsp://192.168.1.5:554/live0 # <--- 1 connection to camera stream
roles:
- restream
```
### With Sub Stream
Two connections are made to the camera. One for the sub stream, one for the restream, `record` connects to the restream.
```yaml
cameras:
test_cam:
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://localhost:8554/test_cam # <--- the name here must match the name of the camera
roles:
- record
- path: rtsp://192.168.1.5:554/stream # <--- camera high res stream
roles:
- restream
- path: rtsp://192.168.1.5:554/substream # <--- camera sub stream
roles:
- detect
```
