Research direction

Read configs/README.md and CONTRIBUTING to find the schema and contribution workflow, then inspect existing configs.frigate entries such as the Annke configs referenced in #142. Choose popular Reolink, Hikvision, Dahua, Amcrest, or Tapo models missing configs and add the specified detection settings and RTSP details; where possible, include real-world testing provenance. Done means the selected models have complete, schema-consistent configs.

Description

enhancement good first issue help wanted

454 of 2,540 cameras (18%) have no configs.frigate block. Since the site's core audience is Frigate/NVR builders, filling these for popular models is high-value.

Priority: mainstream Reolink, Hikvision, Dahua, Amcrest, Tapo models people actually run in Frigate. For each, add the configs.frigate block (detect res/fps, rtsp_url_template, best_substream, notes) — ideally real-world tested with verified/tested_version/tested_by provenance (like @fvdpol's #142 Annke configs).

See configs/README.md and CONTRIBUTING for the template. Batch by brand (shared RTSP path scheme).
