Describe the problem you are having

I have this from the vendor of the camera,

rtsp://IPAddress:554/user=admin&password=&channel=1&stream=0.sdp?

and,

rtsp://IPAddress:554/user=admin&password=&channel=1&stream=1.sdp?

how do I convert this to frigate's format?

mqtt:

host: mqtt.server.com #Please replace with a valid mqtt broker

host: 192.168.31.181 so like this? still doesnt work

cameras: back: ffmpeg:
