[Camera Support]: Raspberrypi-Cam on Synology 1221+

[Azathoth88]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi, I have recently commissioned a Raspberry Pi cam and would like to explore the possibilities with Frigate. So Frigate is also new to me. The installation of Frigate via Portainer went without a problem. Now I have problems to configure the cam on my Rackstation from Synology 1221+ (AMD Ryzen V1500B) with Google Coral USB.

The protocol is full and I cannot integrate the camera stream: Protocol not supported, ffmpeg crashes, ... see log Maybe I have use a different hwaccel_args, preset-vaapi doesnt works

Version

0.13.1

Raspberry pi zero 2 | Pi Cam v3

Any other information that may be helpful

Configuration Raspberry Pi Zero 2 via https://code.berrydejager.com/Libcamera-RTSP/

I use this for creating the stream: libcamera-vid -t 0 --inline --width 1280 --height 720 --framerate 5 --vflip -o - | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/stream}' :demux=h264

On VLC it works.

You need to use udp instead of tcp

[Azathoth88]

To understand: The RTSP stream is at the moment TCP and must be sent in UDP, right? After this I have to use input_args: preset-rtsp-udp?

[NickM-27]

the rtsp stream is already UDP but frigate is expecting tcp. You should use the input args like you said

[Azathoth88]

I replaced: cameras: raspberrypi: detect: width: 1280 height: 720 fps: 5 ffmpeg: inputs:

• path: rtsp://192.168.3.202:8554/stream input_args: preset-rtsp-udp roles:
