[Config Support]: Reolink e1 outdoor

[Pltnorwich]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi, I'm totally new to HA and yml files. I have watched numerous videos and read threads regarding setting up frigate in HA.

Attached is the log file from Frigate and current minimal settings in yml (this is under config using studio code server editor)
To be honest I am really struggling to get this functioning. Currently running reeling app on win11 to record constantly but want this in frigate for less overhead - not bothered about detection at all right now.

Thank you

you have rtmp: false

this is incorrect, it should be

rtmp:
  enabled: false

however, that is the default. So you are better off just not including it

[Pltnorwich]

You can see config for my reolink camera in this topic - #12584

your camera nam - is that what ever you randomly decide for HA or what the device is called in the app/hardware?

[NickM-27]

it can be whatever you want

[Pltnorwich]

it can be whatever you want

Hi Nick,
I have tried the bare minimum config in the setup page you posted but still get the same error

"FrigateConfigcameras field required (type=value_error.missing)"

I tried with an without the pw in the tsp string and still nothing, I can access the rtsp string through vlc so I imagine some word is not correct.

I tried this;

mqtt:
  enabled: false

cameras:
  garden:
    enabled: true
    ffmpeg:
      - path: rtsp://xx:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main
        roles:
          -record
    
    record:
      enabled: false

This;

mqtt:
  enabled: false

cameras:
  garden_e1:
    enabled: true
    ffmpeg:
      - path: rtsp://192.168.x.x/rtsp
        roles:
          -record
    
    record:
      enabled: false

still stuck, I originally tried to use docker but its all a huge learning curve.

[NickM-27]

It needs to be - record

So are you running as an addon? Make sure there is only one frigate config file

[Pltnorwich]

Hi Nick, only just got back to looking at this. Yess it was installed as an add-on, I then became stuck I think from using studio editor, I then created a second config file so had yml &yaml, which caused my issue. I just now need to get it setup further with recording outside of stack in Portainer where I can easily access the recordings.

Thank you

[Pltnorwich]

Ive removed the rtmp, but is showing
1 validation error for FrigateConfig

I've called the camera "garden" but should this be what is actually called in the Reolink app (device name = Garden E1)

[NickM-27]

No, other things are incorrect too. Please follow the getting started guide https://docs.frigate.video/guides/getting_started#configuring-frigate
