How to get motion working with Frigate or Motion

[EnigmaWebdesign]

Hi all,

I really love the fact that you can add 3rd party camera's to Unifi Protect. At the moment I have a client which has about 41 camera's.
Mobotix, Vivotek and for testing a Reolink camera. I have it working well with Unifi Protect but the next stage is getting motion to work.
I have no experience with Frigate and I even have found a Youtube project with Motion and Raspberry Pi but that one was short.

Is there a way to use Motion, Frigate or something else to get motion to work on Unifi Protect? I use the latest version of Unifi Protect (2.7.34) and the DEV version via Docker for Unifi-cam-proxy.

Here is the Youtube link of someone using Unifi-cam-proxy + Motion for their Raspberry Pi camera. I see that motion has network camera support and in the Youtube I see that he has motion working in Unifi.

Please, if someone can give me pointers that would be great.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi all,

Ok, I got something working with Frigate. However, Frigate is for smart recording and I saw that something was recorded for 22 seconds however, when I try to download the event of 22 seconds the downloaded MP4 file is 0 kb.
I have to wait until tomorrow, since it's now 19:10 PM.

I've been testing since 08:00 this morning. I do see that Frigate does send streams to the Unifi Cloudkey Gen2 we are using at the moment for testing. It doesn't record when motion/movement is stopped but sometimes halfway. Also, when I try to download a movement capture I get 0kb and the stream on Unifi also doesn't play.

Why do I get 0kb from a download from the Unifi Protect?

Br,
