Frigate can re-stream your video feed as a RTMP feed for other applications such as Home Assistant to utilize it at `rtmp://<frigate_host>/live/<camera_name>`. Port 1935 must be open. This allows you to use a video feed for detection in frigate and Home Assistant live view at the same time without having to make two separate connections to the camera. The video feed is copied from the original video feed directly to avoid re-encoding. This feed does not include any annotation by Frigate.
|
||||
|
||||
Some video feeds are not compatible with RTMP. If you are experiencing issues, check to make sure your camera feed is h264 with AAC audio. If your camera doesn't support a compatible format for RTMP, you can use the ffmpeg args to re-encode it on the fly at the expense of increased CPU utilization. Some more information about it can be found [here](/faqs#audio-in-recordings).

I recommend Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest in that order. Dahua edges out Hikvision because they are easier to find and order, not because they are better cameras. I personally use Dahua cameras because they are easier to purchase directly. In my experience Dahua and Hikvision both have multiple streams with configurable resolutions and frame rates and rock solid streams. They also both have models with large sensors well known for excellent image quality at night. Not all the models are equal. Larger sensors are better than higher resolutions; especially at night. Amcrest is the fallback recommendation because they are rebranded Dahuas. They are rebranding the lower end models with smaller sensors or less configuration options.

If you get a green image from the camera, this means ffmpeg was not able to get the video feed from your camera. Check the logs for error messages from ffmpeg. The default ffmpeg arguments are designed to work with H264 RTSP cameras that support TCP connections. If you do not have H264 cameras, make sure you have disabled RTMP. It is possible to enable it, but you must tell ffmpeg to re-encode the video with customized output args.

The best way to get started with notifications for Frigate is to use the [Blueprint](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/frigate-mobile-app-notifications/311091). You can use the yaml generated from the Blueprint as a starting point and customize from there.

This provides the event_id needed to fetch [thumbnails/snapshots/clips](/integrations/home-assistant#notification-api) and other useful information to customize when and where you want to receive alerts. The data is published in the form of a change feed, which means you can reference the "previous state" of the object in the `before` section and the "current state" of the object in the `after` section. You can see an example [here](/integrations/mqtt#frigateevents).
