Set Birdseye (Camera)
AI-generatedSummary
Toggle whether a Frigate camera is included in the Birdseye view by publishing an ON or OFF value to that camera’s /birdseye/set topic.
Inputs
- Camera (required) — Camera name as configured in Frigate.
- Value (required) — Choose ON to include the camera in Birdseye or OFF to exclude it. Defaults to ON.
- Await State Confirmation — When enabled, keep the WebSocket open after publishing and wait for the camera’s
/birdseye/stateread-back. Defaults to false. - Confirmation Timeout (Ms) — Maximum wait for the state read-back when confirmation is enabled; defaults to 5000 ms and is clamped to 0–600000 ms.
Output shape
A single n8n item per input item, containing the operation, published topic and payload, and published: true.
When state confirmation is enabled, also returns
received,confirmed,stateTopic, andstateValue. A timeout still returns an item withreceived: false,confirmed: false, andstateValue: null; confirmation checks whether the read-back matches the requested value.
Examples
Example 1: Include camera “front_door” in Birdseye.
Set Camera to front_door and Value to ON.
Example 2: Exclude camera “front_door” from Birdseye and verify Frigate’s state read-back.
Set Camera to front_door, Value to OFF, and enable Await State Confirmation.
