### RTSP
## RTSP
Frigate can restream your video feed as an RTSP feed for other applications such as Home Assistant to utilize it at `rtsp://<frigate_host>:8554/<camera_name>`. Port 8554 must be open. [This allows you to use a video feed for detection in Frigate and Home Assistant live view at the same time without having to make two separate connections to the camera](#reduce-connections-to-camera). The video feed is copied from the original video feed directly to avoid re-encoding. This feed does not include any annotation by Frigate.

Birdseye RTSP restream can be enabled at `birdseye -> restream` and accessed at `rtsp://<frigate_host>:8554/birdseye`. Enabling the restream will cause birdseye to run 24/7 which may increase CPU usage somewhat.
### RTMP (Deprecated)
### Securing Restream With Authentication
The go2rtc restream can be secured with RTSP based username / password authentication. Ex:
```yaml
go2rtc:
rtsp:
username: "admin"
password: "pass"
streams:
...
```
**NOTE:** This does not apply to localhost requests to there is no need to provide credentials when using the restream as a source for frigate cameras.
## 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.
