A few mistakes:

• mqtt wrong password and/or user
• path ist wrong " - path: rtsp:https://127.0.0.1:8554/", no camera here, add the names you used in the go2rtc block
  like : rtsp:https://localhost:8554/your_reolink_camera
• FrontYard: # <------ Name the camera (use FrontYard above in the go2rtc block or other way round
• reduce fpst for detect to 5
• read the docs for the initial configuration.

[cchurch132]

Thanks for the response.

• MQTT issue resolved.
• now i have a "No route to host" error. I'm able to access the camera through the Reolink integration, just not sure what i might have missed.

You have a typo still.
"ffmpeg:rtsp:https://admin:[email protected]:554"
vs.
rtsp:https://192.168.1.17:554/
Double check the IP-Address.
Also, since you're using go2rtc, it should rather be rtsp:https://localhost:8554/FrontYard instead in the ffmpeg config for the cameras.

Optional, from my config: I'm running a 811A as well, where I'm using the flv stream instead. So go2rtc looks something like this:

    FrontYard:
    - ffmpeg:192.168.1.27/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=admin&password=password#video=h264#hardware

The camera has a fallback to H264 if you set it to 2K instead of 4k resolution, which makes things easier to handle, espeacially viewing recordings in your browser. The default h265 might not be compatible with every system/browser.

got it working, thanks heaps!
