Setting Up Camera Inputs

Several inputs can be configured for each camera and the role of each input can be mixed and matched based on your needs. This allows you to use a lower resolution stream for object detection, but create recordings from a higher resolution stream, or vice versa.

Each role can only be assigned to one input per camera. The options for roles are as follows:

Role Description
detect Main feed for object detection
record Saves segments of the video feed based on configuration settings. docs
rtmp Broadcast as an RTMP feed for other services to consume. docs
mqtt:
  host: mqtt.server.com
cameras:
  back:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://viewer:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.0.10.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2
          roles:
            - detect
            - rtmp
        - path: rtsp://viewer:{FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD}@10.0.10.10:554/live
          roles:
            - record
    detect:
      width: 1280
      height: 720

Additional cameras are simply added to the config under the cameras entry.
