u/Least_Order4249

does this camera support it? I can’t get it to work. spec sheet just says built in mic and speaker (and line in/out). I can get alarm sounds to play but can’t connect to rtsp back channel. I can see it if I use proto=Onvif, but can’t access it. the spec sheet for the international model 5449R1-ze whatever says that it can “realize” 2-way talk. not sure what that means.

I can't get mine to show up correctly. It was fine in 0.17, now it tries to fit a 16:9 grid and randomly shifts between cover and contain.

Edit: It wasn't in cover mode. It was just stretched all the way sideways. It was too dark to tell earlier. Moved live heigth back to 720 default again and everything is fine for now. Could have been bad cache then applied a bad fix before trying other browsers.

Now the next rabbit hole: why are my detect streams so much darker on frigate ui? they look fine straight from the source w/ identical FPS so it’s not perception.

First off, I agree the NDAA bans were necessary. Dahua and Hik already had half the pro market and were expanding fast. If we did nothing, we might already be 100% reliant on an adversary.

What nobody thought about was the response. Shanghai’s Smartsens went from a startup shipping bottom‑of‑the‑barrel junk to pumping out high‑volume runs of the first new surveillance tech we’ve seen in a decade. Meanwhile Sony can only trickle out some robotics‑tier sensors at 10× the price, and they’re only useful for extreme light‑imbalance situations.

If we’re not there already, we’re maybe 6–18 months away from the surveillance market looking just like automotive — filled with ancient, overpriced, regulation‑induced garbage while the rest of the world enjoys modern tech for pennies on the dollar.

Maybe if we start an economic war, we should have some sort of plan other than just ban.

just modified my frigate to use full res (4-5MP VBR h.265 high max 20mbps) detect streams. all I did was increase motion threshold and coutour area a few points and no ill effects, just another GB or two of shm_size.

reason I did all that was better cropped snapshots which is 99% of what I actually look at. Plus better alignment with record and detect. I don’t look at frigate much. Have automations. It tells me when something is important.

now 0.18 beta got rid of cropped snaps. What should I expect if I upgrade? I live on the explore tab when I actually open frigate. Really don’t use any other tabs outside of testing.

Dahua has been dropping the new wizcolor x over the last several days and the eyeballs are nearing grapefruit size just for fixed focal. I imagine verafocal will be even bigger. is it time for people to just find a shady spot and use a dome? how big does a turret need to be before it looks ridiculous?

What's been going on with HA Frigate notifications? I'm on the sgtbatten 0.14 but that github only goes up to 0.12. Something is wrong. what are people using? I no longer see this one recommended on Frigate Docs.

6-8 weeks ago, Vivaldi could be resized to any format. That made it unique. Now it is stuck with default chromium restrictions like everyone else. Is this a bug or just a silently dropped feature? windows v8.0.4033.34-57

It has been awhile since one of these posts..

I personally can’t find any use for review as I feel like notification filters based on time, day, presence, locked or unlocked doors, etc filter better than gen AI can.

Object descriptions are great for enhancing search but Frigate’s introduction of classifications pretty much killed what ever automation use I had for object description.

Is anyone using gen AI to enable automation features that otherwise wouldn’t be possible or wouldn’t work nearly as well without it?

I'm trying to support ipv6 media signaling in an app of mine and I keep running into scenarios where the whole system breaks if a prefix changes. Being that few if any ISPs guarantee stable prefixes, what's the point of ipv6 at all? literally the entire network and every app and script breaks if the prefix changes.

Is there a clean way to handle this? I guess I just only enable ip6 for media routing and then have a manager that makes sure those settings are correct every so often? But then even, the docker daemon breaks if the prefix ever changes along with all scripts and the rest of the network stack. Ipv6 as implemented to residential users without a guaranteed locked prefix should be a crime.

edit: thank you for all the help. This is my first dive into trying to solve this for an unknown third party “general user.” Good to know that almost everyone is using some form of local translation even though consumer and even prosumer gateways either don’t support that or barely support it. I think I’ll build the feature in a very simple way but add safeguards to fall back to IPv4 along with a stern warning to enable it in the first place.

I used to regularly go to a dash board to control things. Lately, voice has gotten good enough that manual control feels cumbersome. On top of that, most workflows are automation>notification>self-hosted PWA. I’m still keeping sensors and lights UI inside home assistant but with scenes and automations, there is basically never a reason to look at them.

A few weeks ago I shared an early personal prototype showing how WebRTC + SIP could be used to get fast door communication and control in a fully FOSS setup.

Since then I’ve put a lot more work into it. Turns out releasing something with your name on it carries weight. I've been working hard to make sure it is actually good now.

The app now runs cleanly inside a non‑privileged container (no host networking), with a full security model that protects the backend not just from intruders, but from authorized users as well.

I also added link actions, so when low‑latency comm and control is no longer needed, or the subject is out of reach, you can jump straight back to Frigate with one press.

Everything is built around security, speed, and ease of use:

• 4 lines of required config
• No media over TCP
• No Firebase
• No backchannels
• Nothing that slows you down when every second matters (or when you just want a normal conversation instead of walkie‑talkie lag)

If that sounds useful, the project is here:

I got Vivaldi exactly because it was the only Windows browser I found that would let me size a web app how I wanted. Now it is enforcing a minimum width of at least double what I had it sized to previously. Exactly like Chrome now. What might have happened? Version 8.0.4033.34 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I didn't want to put this on GitHub because I am running a janky but fully stable 17.some cherry picks and might have just broken logic with that.

I generate several hundred events per day where I only keep snapshots. I would rather these not spam my explore tab because that is really the only tab I use 99% of the time.

I see a "classification" filter on my "more filters" under explore but it doesn't seem to do anything. Will 0.18 allow us to filter the explore tab to alerts and detections? Is there a chance we will be able to create a default view for this tab? This tab is just so damn efficient and useful that it is a shame to spam it.
