[Camera Support]: Imou camera IPC-TAM2P-D (Dahua)

[Miguel014]

Describe the problem you are having

I connected my IMOU camera to Frigate using a basic configuration to test if it works. However, the video only shows a fixed frame in the camera's window, and I need to repeatedly press F5 to refresh the image. I'm experiencing this issue on two different PCs—one running Linux Mint with an AMD iGPU, and the other running Proxmox with an Intel iGPU. When I use iSpy to connect to the camera, the video runs smoothly.

Version

0.13.2

which camera window are you referring to

[Miguel014]

The camera is produced by Dahua but it is commercialized by Imou. The model is IPC-TAM2P-D.

[NickM-27]

I was referring to this

However, the video only shows a fixed frame in the camera's window,

what is "the camera's window"

[Miguel014]

I'm referring to the first window in frigate, the one called "Cameras".

[NickM-27]

then what you are describing is working as expected, that page does not refresh the camera views automatically in frigate 0.13. The new UI does support this feature however #11136

[Miguel014]

Thank you for your reply. I will wait for the new UI, then.
