Frigate prevents HomeKit Secure Video from detecting events on Amcrest camera

[ClemTiger0408]

I am running Frigate to Home Assistant and then in parallel I am running Scrypted to HomeKit everything in separate docker containers. I have a Reolink doorbell and Amcrest floodlight. With this setup the Reolink doorbell is able to do detection in HK and Frigate no issue. With the Amcrest, if Frigate is running then HKSV can connect to a live view of the camera but it does not detect any motion or create recordings. If I set up the Amcrest in HKSV while Frigate is disabled then HKSV detects and records no issue. Its when Frigate starts up that it stops. Is there anything I can do to make them both detect and record?

Config is below. Note: the hashed out cameras were an attempt to use the rebroadcast RTSP from Scrypted but there was no difference between using the rebroadcast RTSP or the camera's direct RTSP stream.

It seems unlikely that frigate would affect something running parallel to it, that would be a question for HomeKit in any case.

[ClemTiger0408]

Well, unfortunately, Frigate is the only possible issue. If I disable Frigate and do nothing else, suddenly HKSV works perfectly. Upon restarting Frigate, the first event will be recorded by both Frigate and HKSV then no further events.

I am getting the same results you are Clem. If i activate frigate then no motion is triggered from the cameras and sent to hksv. I think the cameras can only handle a connection to one server or the other not both.
