None ! (Happy smile) … It DOES show up in Frigate now with your configuration. Tried testing detection of “person” but that does not seem to work yet. Maybe due to delays ??? (I am using other cameras successfully with Frigate)

Anyway BIG THANKS for getting me this far already !!!

Able to create clips. E2E test OK. Closing
