Hi there, Is it true ? Can you view both fix and PT lens in frigate ? |

They are essentially two cameras, each with their own sub stream. Unrelated, but a new firmware (22.R build date 2024-05-24) appeared. The changelog just says "Bug Fix" so who knows - but I upgraded and it still works without any noticeable change on my end. |

Hi Buzh, this is an intended late post, because I want to know your review after days of use them. I am curious if it can produce all of them and stable. |

It works well for me, no stability issues. The config/app are a bit lacking, but after I configured the camera for frigate use I've not had to touch it. To be clear I'm not using the sub streams as they are too low a resolution for my use case. One thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is how to turn on/off built-in features such as the LEDs and alarm siren. Will try to snoop around using the "sofia" protocol when I have time, but if anyone has any pointers please share... |

Hello @buzh, Thank you. Very interested sharing who answer my questions 👍 Can you precise in your topic for each of them with which of the 3 tools you was able to do ?

Slightly off-topic, but where did you find the firmware download? I can't find anywhere. I have IPC-S7X-10MOWED and it is working fine with frigate. I added the onvif from your example, thanks. |

Describe the problem you are having
Thought I'd share my config for this model, which is apparently quite new. Just to be clear, my setup now works - just sharing to help others along and get any suggestions for improvement.
There's still very little information online about this model, even from the manufacturer website. It's currently not listed on the main website, but it can be found (along with some downloads) on regional sites. It's a dual camera system with one fixed camera and one motorized pan/tilt dome.
Since this is based on the same platform as Dahua I was hoping it would be perfect for Frigate, and while it does work the substreams are limited to a max of 640x480. There is very little in the way of tools and documentation available for this specific model, and the recommended "Imou Life" app doesn't let you configure much of the encoding options, just the built-in detection/alerting features (which I won't be using).
After some digging I found that:
Using a combination (!) of those three tools AND the Imou Life app, I was able to:
Since the sub streams are limited to a low resolution, I configured them this way:
Fixed camera: 720P 5fps main stream
PT camera: 2304x1296 15fps main stream, Onvif support
Then for the PT I'm using ffmpeg in the Frigate config to downscale to 720p and use that for the detect feed.
Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions, both on the Frigate configuration and on the camera..
