These errors are happening right at 2 am which is the typical time that cameras are set to reboot by default |

So I had been putting this on hold thinking that some of the updates going into frigate related to WebRTC might fix my issues. I just updated to the beta HA Core update. I also updated my frigate integration to 5.5.1. I just had one of my cameras drop. Here is the supported log:

Try setting up rtps instead of ffmpeg in the go2rtc section. In my configuration with Reolink cameras it works well (I had a very unstable experience with ffmpeg and Reolink before): > rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main |

I'm on beta 15 and my logs are similar to yours. I'm using Reolink on ethernet and wifi. No issues over ethernet but the wifi cams drop out and usually come back if I restart frigate or sometimes if I just leave frigate they come back after a day or so. I'm putting this down to crappy wifi on my part and I will switch to ethernet eventually. I'm already using rtsp in go2rtc. I also dont use home assistant not until I'm happy with a stable setup. Running frigate in container on bare metal ubuntu. |

I just had another property's VM just run OOM while running rtsp.... @NickM-27 is there a way for me to grab the logs after frigate has crashed? Do they get stored somewhere between runs? |

Hi, I'm facing the same issues with reolink NVR and 5 POE cameras. After a while, every single stream goes offline. Checking from logs they go offline at the same time, when the NVR reboots. No idea why they can't just recover the stream automatically after NVR rebooted. Frigate restart fixes the issue. I am using https stream through the NVR (cause I can't get it work to the cameras directly even if they are in my LAN) |

So I was never able to get this to be completely fixed, but I have some workarounds in place that are helping things. Switching to use RTSP keeps the cameras from dropping. However, I then run into OOM issues at least once a day with at least one of my 3 properties. To circumvent this, I run a cronjob ever 10 minutes that checks the current memory usage of the container and if its above 98%, I force a reboot of the container. This is keeping things running smoothly. I was never able to get the logs for the OOM issue because, the container stops responding when it gets to that point. |

I can only confirm that my two Reolink cameras work without any problems with 0.15 Beta. With this information in the configuration.yaml it works without any problems

I also have this issue. Im on beta 15 and only my wifi cameras are dropping. I can sometimes click on the camera in frigate and it will show me the live view but other wise is not recording. I can see the live stream just fine with HA and through the reo app. I also run TDARR on the same machine i use to record and also stream jellyfin for my self. Im thinking it is a encoding limit on the 1660ti card as i believe the hardware limit is 8 encoding streams and it might be hitting it. Can anyone confirm this? |

I'll piggyback onto this thread. I have had the Reolink wifi doorbell for a while now, but just recently I've connected it to ethernet. The feed was never stable, but I was hoping for better stability with a wired connection. Config:

I was running into this very same issue with two Reolink cameras and think I have found the solution. The problem is not in Frigate or go2rtc, but in FFmpeg. By default, ffmpeg does not reconnect on losing connection to the stream. In your go2rtc stream configuration, add the options For example:
After adding these input parameters, my stream has been stable for days now. |

Describe the problem you are having
Hello, I have posted several issues related to this in the past. I currently have 3 servers running Frigate on Proxmox. I use reolink cameras exclusively. At least once a day, at at least one of the properties, one of the cameras goes down. The only way I am able to bring the cameras back online is to restart the VM node. When the issue occurs, I will check the cameras and Reolink, and they are still streaming properly there. I really need these cameras to stay online, as two of the properties are AirBnBs. I am not sure if it is the cameras I am using or Frigate. In the files and logs I am attaching, it is Driveway Camera that is down.
