Greetings,

I've got two way audio working on my Reolink E1 Pro, however it's not working on the RLC-1212A. Any tips for troubleshooting this?

Here's snippets from my config for each:

go2rtc:

    frigate_reolink_e1_living_room:
      - rtsp://{FRIGATE_REOLINK_USER}:{FRIGATE_REOLINK_PW}@192.168.254.203:2554/Preview_01_main
    #audio=copy#audio=opus
    frigate_reolink_e1_living_room_sub:
      - rtsp://{FRIGATE_REOLINK_USER}:{FRIGATE_REOLINK_PW}@192.168.254.203:2554/Preview_01_sub
    #audio=copy#audio=opus


    frigate_reolink_3205_nw_Shop_Corner:
      - rtsp://{FRIGATE_REOLINK_USER}:{FRIGATE_REOLINK_PW}@192.168.254.98:554/Preview_01_main
      - ffmpeg:https://192.168.254.98/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user={FRIGATE_REOLINK_USER}&password={FRIGATE_REOLINK_PW}#video=copy#audio=copy#audio=opus
    frigate_reolink_3205_nw_Shop_Corner_sub:
      - rtsp://{FRIGATE_REOLINK_USER}:{FRIGATE_REOLINK_PW}@192.168.254.98:554/Preview_01_sub

This works:

  frigate_reolink_e1_living_room:
    lpr:
      enabled: false
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/frigate_reolink_e1_living_room_sub
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - detect
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/frigate_reolink_e1_living_room
          input_args: preset-rtsp-restream
          roles:
            - record
    detect:
      enabled: true # <---- turn on detection
     onvif:
       host: 192.168.107.111
       user: '{FRIGATE_REOLINK_USER}'
       password: '{FRIGATE_REOLINK_PW}'

This does not work (see comment)

I tried disabling ONVIF from the E1 pro config, and the only thing I lost was PTZ controls.

this depends on reolink's implementation, not all cameras support rtsp backchannel audio, which is required for two way talk in Frigate

Thanks Nick. I've emailed them to inquire and will mention that. I assumed the more expensive camera would be more functional, but perhaps they missed this feature.

it's a relatively new feature (last copule years) so it mostly depends when the camera was released
