Not much to go on with that info. What configuration did you use for HA to connect to the neolink? The generic camera? The ffmpeg one? On more in depth logs from HA? Really this seems like something you should ask in the HA forums
I'm a little new to this type of setup. Slowly learning about home automation and security.
The configuration to neolink from the camera was: config.toml < bind = "0.0.0.0"
[[cameras]] name = "Camera" username = "admin" password = "PW" uid = "UID" stream = "both"
We tried using both link streams generated by neolink within frigate.
[rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/Camera/subStream] (local ip address provided by neolink)
[rtsp://192.168.56.1:8554/Camera/subStream] (ip address from the VirtualBox Host-only Network)
Both links worked when we tested it on VLC on the same pc.
Frigate code (frigate.yml) in HA <mqtt: host: 192.168.1.117 port: 1883 user: mqtt-user password: PW cameras: OfficeCamera: ffmpeg: inputs:
I have been reaching out in the HA forums and in Frigate forums as well. Just wanted to make sure I was setting up neolink correctly.
I was trying to figure out how I can pass the RTSP stream from my local PC through the firewall to the VM to Home Assistant (in the neolink page, there was some mention about opening firewall ports if neolink is setup on a different server/pc).
Any help would be appreciated!
Perhaps you can help me understand the topology of the network:
Windows: host Virtual machine (on host): neolink Virtual machine (on host, host only network): HA and frigate
Is that right?
P.s. Why use HA and frigate on a virtualbox rather than docker?
Yes of course, the current layout of the setup is:
PC running windows - has neolink installed connected to the Reolink Argus 3 pro Camera to generate an RTSP stream
PC running Oracle VirtualBox to run Home Assistant (using Hass Addon vdi) (Bridged Adapter network setting). Frigate is installed as an addon within Home Assitant.
Hopefully this makes sense!
Yes I think I get the topology. The best place to look for answers would the the frigate logs to see what it says if coming from the ffmpeg command.
We should also do some manual tests. Open a terminal in the frigate vm (not the host) and run something like this:
ffprobe rtsp://192.168.56.1:8554
It should report the video and audio format (h264/5 and pcm). If not check that the virtual machine is on the right subnet (run ip addr
on the vm and confirm that there is a 192.168.56.x address listed other than 56.1). If there is nothing wrong here check your windows firewall and ensure that port 8554 is open.
How would I be able to do manual tests like opening a terminal when I'm running VM on hassio interface? I wasn't able to open a terminal in the Frigate VM to run "ffprobe"
I was able to get the network info to see if the network is on the same network:
This the local network info from the PC:
Thank you again for all the help!
Running a terminal in the virtual machine all depends on what the guest OS is.
I noticed that your vm has an interface and a docker.
Is your setup
Win Host->VM Linux->Docker HA
If so I am thinking that perhaps the VM Linux has a connection to the host but not the internal docker.
Might I ask if you followed some sort of tutorial on getting your HA up and running? If I can see it then it might explain a few things to me.
Perhaps on the HA you can look into getting the web terminal plugin installed and you can debug on that

This is the link I used for the installation of Home Assistant on the Virtual Machine.
I was able to get the sub stream loaded on to Home Assistant on MotionEye, and Frigate, but there is a huge lag in the stream itself.
Describe the bug Currently running the neolink setup on my local pc via windows using gstreamer (used the instructions provided). Was able to get a RTSP stream playing on VLC from the Reolink Argus 3 Pro battery powered cameras via these links [rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/Camera/subStream] [rtsp://192.168.56.1:8554/Camera/subStream]
I'm trying to connect this RTSP link to Home Assistant I'm running on a Oracle Virtual Box (haos_ova-7.4.vdi) on my pc (same one running Neolink). However, I'm getting an error where Home Assistant - Frigate Addon is not able to read the RTSP stream.
Thank you in advance for your help!
