In my config file, I have commented out the Front_Door camera as it is working perfectly.
I am now working to get the back door camera configured and working.

Screen shot from the camera:

Any and all assistance in getting this configuration would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reference link!

Now to recap:

The problem was configuring the Reolink RLC-81MA camera. The solution was in my use case:

First, I needed to set up the configuration for multiple cameras. Originally, I had only one camera. This required moving code from the global ffmpeg area to within each camera's area.

Second, (With great help from @NickM-27 !! Thank you!)) the specific camera—in this case, the Reolink RLC-81MA—using this reference: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/cameras was configured.

You need to pay particular attention to the camera type and its requirements. In my case, no FLV, and make sure the correct port(s) is/are identified.

For clarity, the final confi…

that's the go2rtc port which should be 8554, you need to change the camera port for the url in the go2rtc section that connects to the camera.

Yes - I can now see the back door camera.
I uncommented the front door camera.
Both cameras are showing.
However - only the back door camera - periodically shows the red blinking dot (not always). And while the front door camera used to - but now does not show the red blinking dot.

ok - wait - now both camera's red dots are blinking. Now the back door red dot stopped blinking.

ok - and the CPU is at 81%, while the "back door has high ffmpeg CPU usage (139%)".

Am I correct I am over-taxing the Rpi4 8GB system?
If I am to keep and add more cameras, I need to migrate to a more powerful system? A recommendation of an appropriate system would be appreciated.

My HA System runs on an Odroid-N2+ 4GB system, which is what I am going to migrate this to setup to. HA is the only application running on the Odroid. So - the Odroid should handle the load - correct?

Red dot just means motion is detected.
