# Frigate Camera Specifications

> Generated 2026-07-07. Hardware/firmware data queried live from each camera's Reolink API (`GetDevInfo`, `GetEnc`); Frigate settings from `frigate-config.yml` (Frigate v0.17-0).
> Credentials are **not** included in this document — camera RTSP and MQTT passwords are in `frigate-config.yml`; web UI login is in the ownCloud note `Personal/Notes/Homelab/Frigate.md`.

## Configured Stream Settings (live from cameras)

| Camera | Main stream | Main fps | Main bitrate | Codec | Sub stream | Sub fps | Sub bitrate | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| front_driveway | 7680×2160 | 20 | 10240 kbps | H.265 | 1536×432 | 20 | 1024 kbps | On |
| front_yard | 3840×2160 | 25 | 6144 kbps | H.264 | 640×360 | 10 | 256 kbps | On |
| shop | 3840×2160 | 25 | 6144 kbps | H.264 | 640×360 | 10 | 256 kbps | On |
| deck | 3840×2160 | 15 | 8192 kbps | H.264 | 640×360 | 10 | 256 kbps | On |
| back_yard | 3840×2160 | 15 | 8192 kbps | H.264 | 640×360 | 10 | 256 kbps | On |
| front_right | 2560×1440 | 15 | 8192 kbps | H.264 | 896×512 | 10 | 1024 kbps | On |

All sub streams are H.264, High profile. Sub streams feed Frigate object detection; main streams are recorded.

## Frigate Per-Camera Configuration

| Camera | UI order | Detect resolution | Detect fps | Tracked objects | Zones | Motion masks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| front_driveway | 1 | 1536×432 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat (plates via dedicated LPR detector) | front_driveway_zone (alerts require zone) | — |
| front_yard | 2 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | — |
| shop | 3 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 2 masks |
| deck | 4 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 2 masks |
| back_yard | 5 | 640×360 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 2 masks |
| front_right | 6 | 896×512 | 5 | person, car, dog, cat | — | 1 mask |

Notifications are enabled on all six cameras.

### Stream routing (go2rtc)

- Each camera has a native H.265/H.264 main-stream ingest (`<name>_h265`) plus a sub-stream (`<name>_sub`) pulled directly from the camera.
- front_driveway and front_right main streams are additionally transcoded to H.264 via NVENC (`exec` ffmpeg pipelines, CUDA hwaccel, 2 Mbps low-latency) for browser-compatible live view.
- front_driveway records with a custom pipeline: CUDA scale to 3840×1080, 10 s segments, H.264 NVENC 4 Mbps, AAC 64k audio. All others use `preset-record-generic-audio-aac`.
- ffmpeg globally capped at 2 CPU threads per process (NUMA contention mitigation); `preset-nvidia` hwaccel.

### Quirks / notes

- Shop camera (.103) HTTP API redirects to HTTPS — use `https://` (self-signed) for API calls; other cameras answer on plain HTTP.
- 2026-07-07: audio enabled on-camera for front_driveway and shop; Duo 3 interframe set to 1x; front_driveway live transcode uses `hevc_cuvid -resize 3840x1080` (GPU-only decode+resize — `scale_cuda` filter crashes when Reolink's corrupt stream-join frames force a software-decode fallback); front_right live is direct H.264 passthrough (no transcode needed); `license_plate` removed from tracked objects (COCO model doesn't have that label — LPR uses its own plate detector on cars).
- 2026-07-07: two-way talk enabled on all 6 cameras — each live go2rtc stream has 3 sources (primary video, `ffmpeg:<name>#audio=opus` for WebRTC, `onvif://<ip>:8000` backchannel); WebRTC candidates 192.168.88.41:8555 + stun:8555. LAN only unless 8555 tcp/udp is port-forwarded.
- `auth.enabled: false` only affects port 5000; port 8971 (behind Caddy) always requires login. Caddy injects `Remote-User: guest_viewer` for auto viewer login.
