Hi All,

For two-way audio with Reolink cameras, you need to configure both the HTTP-FLV stream and an RTSP stream. The Reolink doorbell configuration shows the proper setup for two-way talk functionality (2).

Your current configuration has an issue with the go2rtc stream setup. For Reolink cameras with two-way audio support, you should configure it like this:

go2rtc:
  streams:
    voordeur:
      - "ffmpeg:http://reolink_ip/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=username&password=password#video=copy#audio=copy#audio=opus"
      - rtsp://reolink_ip/Preview_01_sub

(2)

The documentation specifically states that for Reolink doorbell two-way audio: "It is important that the http-flv stream is still used for stability, a secondary rtsp stream can be added that will be using for the two way audio only" (2).

Also ensure HTTP is enabled in your camera's advanced network settings (2). The live view documentation mentions that to use two-way talk with Frigate, you should see the Live view documentation (2).

The issue you're experiencing with the video disappearing and showing a black circle when enabling the microphone suggests the stream configuration isn't properly set up for two-way communication. The HTTP-FLV stream provides stability while the RTSP stream handles the two-way audio functionality (2).

See the documentation: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/live/#two-way-talk

You have not set up audio correctly to work with WebRTC.

i now have added this to my config

webrtc:

but its not working. i dont have a doorbel but a camera with 2 way audio.

[hawkeye217]

No, you are missing the opus or the pcma/pcmu audio codec. See https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/live/#audio-support

strange thing here. When i on my wifi its sort of working. the audio works then but the image get scrambled until i disable the audio. When i am on my phone network it wont start the audio.

When i am on my phone network it wont start the audio.

it could be that your phone network is a symmetrical NAT, which will block this from working

cant get it working. 👎 i dont understand.

[ckruijntjens]

I got it working. I forgot to open up port 8555 in the firewall. And the scrambled video when enable 2 way speak is resolved with the latest update of frigate.
