Does this integration automatically intercept camera entities? #715

Hello - I've had a little trouble finding a clear answer here. I know that go2rtc is fed my camera entities, and they automatically appear in the go2rtc dashboard. Does this integration "intercept" these in such a way that anywhere I use camera entities, they will automatically route through go2rtc, or do I specifically need to use the webrtc card for this to occur?

I'm asking because I'd like to know if the performance advantages are automatically occuring for my camera entities if I use other cards, or if I'll need to use a link from the go2rtc interface.

go2rtc will be used only:

with WebRTC card
with built-in cards + RTSPtoWebRTC integration linked to go2rtc app as server

I see, thank you for the quick response!

Unfortuantely the RTSPtoWebRTC appears to only work with RTSP specifically.. in my case I only have details to use ONVIF, which does not appear to be picked up by the RTSPtoWebRTC integration... do you know of any other way I can use my camera entities with other cards and still trigger WebRTC?

This card also supports go2rtc https://github.com/dermotduffy/frigate-hass-card

I don't know why RTSPtoWebRTC doesn't support ONVIF. You can ask help on Hass forum/discord.

PS. Usually ONVIF has static RTSP link inside.
