What are the use cases of the "Custom Stream Link" option? #793
-
|
I have searched the docs and not found any pointer on what does that option does, or the implications of using it. I am using frigate for recording and restreammig the camera to prevent too much connections, I also see the cameras en home assistant using Webrtc (from my frigate instance). I do not know if I should set something there for example. O Thanks for the answers! |

Whatever URL format HA itself supports should work. |
