This gave me ALL sort of trouble, and the cameras camera streams stalled within seconds; i tried all sort of streams, https, rstp, rmtp etc etc.
...
I tried all the (bad) advices from a lot of videos, and a lot or article pointing out the problem was the cams.
Then I came across this Youtube video, and found that a simple standard RTSP are working just fine (must be enabled on the Camera) - WITH more memory for 4 cams / 8 streams (--shm-size=256m).
My first working config: config.yml.std
Works fine and the camera streams does not stall
Also the setup of the docker container may require som tweaking, I You have (or not have) the Google Coral.

Previously, I did not use the go2rtc - and the playback of event clips was extreme chonky and studdering. After setting up go2rtc as proxy (see the code) the event clips are way better. Great that it is embedded with Frigate. |

I assume the Google Coral is working, but still Frigate is highly CPU intensive for 4 cams:
With frigate not running:
If this is not improving / improved somehow, I will setup Frigate on a seperate piece of hardware.
This is 1 cam high res detect:
