### MJPEG Cameras
The input and output parameters need to be adjusted for MJPEG cameras
```yaml
input_args: -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -strict experimental -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1
```
Note that mjpeg cameras require encoding the video into h264 for recording, and rtmp roles. This will use significantly more CPU than if the cameras supported h264 feeds directly.
```yaml
output_args:
record: -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_format mp4 -reset_timestamps 1 -strftime 1 -c:v libx264 -an
rtmp: -c:v libx264 -an -f flv
```
### JPEG Stream Cameras
Cameras using a live changing jpeg image will need input parameters as below
```yaml
input_args:
- -r
- 5 # << enter FPS here
- -stream_loop
- -1
- -f
- image2
- -avoid_negative_ts
- make_zero
- -fflags
- nobuffer
- -flags
- low_delay
- -strict
- experimental
- -fflags
- +genpts+discardcorrupt
- -use_wallclock_as_timestamps
- 1
```
Outputting the stream will have the same args and caveats as per [MJPEG Cameras](#mjpeg-cameras)
### RTMP Cameras
The input parameters need to be adjusted for RTMP cameras
```yaml
ffmpeg:
input_args: -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -strict experimental -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -rw_timeout 5000000 -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -f live_flv
```
### Reolink 410/520 (possibly others)
According to [this discussion](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/3235#issuecomment-1135876973), the http video streams seem to be the most reliable for Reolink.
```yaml
cameras:
reolink:
ffmpeg:
input_args:
- -avoid_negative_ts
- make_zero
- -fflags
- +genpts+discardcorrupt
- -flags
- low_delay
- -strict
- experimental
- -analyzeduration
- 1000M
- -probesize
- 1000M
- -rw_timeout
- "5000000"
inputs:
- path: http://reolink_ip/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=username&password=password
roles:
- record
- rtmp
- path: http://reolink_ip/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_ext.bcs&user=username&password=password
roles:
- detect
detect:
width: 896
height: 672
fps: 7
```

### Blue Iris RTSP Cameras
You will need to remove `nobuffer` flag for Blue Iris RTSP cameras
```yaml
ffmpeg:
input_args: -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -flags low_delay -strict experimental -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -rtsp_transport tcp -timeout 5000000 -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1
```
### UDP Only Cameras
If your cameras do not support TCP connections for RTSP, you can use UDP.
```yaml
ffmpeg:
input_args: -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -rtsp_transport udp -timeout 5000000 -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1
```
### Unifi Protect Cameras
In the Unifi 2.0 update Unifi Protect Cameras had a change in audio sample rate which causes issues for ffmpeg. The input rate needs to be set for record and rtmp.
```yaml
ffmpeg:
output_args:
record: -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_format mp4 -reset_timestamps 1 -strftime 1 -c:v copy -ar 44100 -c:a aac
rtmp: -c:v copy -f flv -ar 44100 -c:a aac
```
