### 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. In previous Frigate versions RTMP was used for re-streaming.
