[Camera Support]: Android IP Webcam 2 way communication

[zyznos321]

Describe the problem you are having

I have Android phone with IP webcam app installed. Camera stream from phone is working fine with frigate on home assistant. I added mic and sound button on home assistant card. I can hear voice from camera but when I try to record sound from mic and play on camera it's not working.

Is there any way to use android ip webcam with frigate 2 way audio? Sound to ip webcam app can be send via curl --data-binary @rec.wav http://ip:port/audioin.wav

does this camera support rtsp backchannel? if I had to guess it most likely does not. You can check by looking at the go2rtc stream info

[zyznos321]

Unfortunately not support rtsp backchannel. Only like this: curl --data-binary @rec.wav http://ip:port/audioin.wav

Is possible to integrate frigate microphone in ha with this?

[NickM-27]

No this is not possible, I'd suggest talking to go2rtc about supporting it.

Closing because there is nothing that can be done from the frigate side
