Ubiquiti G6 Instant two way audio

[siskajakub]

Hello,

I was wondering if Frigate supports two way audio with Ubiquiti cameras such as G6 Instant.

Thank you!

Yes, Frigate supports two-way audio with Ubiquiti cameras through go2rtc(1).

For Unifi Protect cameras, you need to use the rtspx stream format with go2rtc(1). To configure this, modify the rtsps link to begin with rtspx and remove the "?enableSrtp" from the end of the Unifi link(1).

Here's an example configuration:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    front:
      - rtspx://192.168.1.1:7441/abcdefghijk

For recording with audio from Ubiquiti cameras, you'll also need to adjust the ffmpeg output settings:

ffmpeg:
  output_args:
    record: preset-record-ubiquiti

(1)

Two-way audio functionality is compatible with cameras that work with go2rtc's two-way audio feature(2). You can then use Home Assistant to trigger audio playback to the camera's speaker when needed(2).

try using frigate v0.17.0-beta1 (or newer) and put this in the frigate config (replace 192.168.1.1 with Protect server and 192.168.1.10 with your camera IP):

go2rtc:
  streams:
    G4_Instant:
      - rtspx://192.168.1.1:7441/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#backchannel=0
      - exec:/usr/lib/ffmpeg/7.0/bin/ffmpeg -re -fflags nobuffer -f alaw -ar 8000 -i - -vn -acodec libopus -b:a 32k -f rtp rtp://192.168.1.10:7004#backchannel=1#audio=pcma/8000
      - exec:/usr/lib/ffmpeg/7.0/bin/ffmpeg -re -fflags nobuffer -f mulaw -ar 8000 -i - -vn -acodec libopus -b:a 32k -f rtp rtp://192.168.1.10:7004#backchannel=1#audio=pcmu/8000
