Setting Up Camera Inputs

Several inputs can be configured for each camera and the role of each input can be mixed and matched based on your needs. This allows you to use a lower resolution stream for object detection, but create recordings from a higher resolution stream, or vice versa.

A camera is enabled by default but can be temporarily disabled by using enabled: False. Existing events and recordings can still be accessed. Live streams, recording and detecting are not working. Camera specific configurations will be used.

Each role can only be assigned to one input per camera. The options for roles are as follows:

Role	Description
detect	Main feed for object detection
record	Saves segments of the video feed based on configuration settings. docs
restream	Broadcast as RTSP feed and use the full res stream for live view. docs
rtmp	Deprecated: Broadcast as an RTMP feed for other services to consume. docs
