Hi all, Currently I’m using couple of Xiaomi Home security camera 1080p 2i. Using their app on phone, I can manage the camera functions such as live feeds, two way voice communication, maneuvering positions - up down and rotate.

I want to have my own solution for these functions, is there any available open source self hosted project which can do the same? May be using own AWS or any other cloud account to run live feeds etc.

Also I have noticed when one camera is ON, I can run tv, laptop, phone on the wifi. However when I turn on the other camera which is if same model, my phone and laptop disconnects intermittently but not television.

I see they have same names but different Mac addresses, what could be a culprit? Also is there any firmware I can flash on them and use them as is with my full control?

Thank you

    It’s worth learning IMO, I spent a few weeks learning and getting my setup where I wanted, but Frigate is awesome. I wish there was an easier way to set it up, a tool to build the yaml maybe.

      I have it now using gpu, but not sure about the output. Cannot watch the events in the Gui for some reason…

      With default cpu capture it worked but now that gpu is doing the encoding it does not. I probably have to specify some output_arg
