Set Birdseye Mode
AI-generatedSummary
Set the selected Frigate camera’s Birdseye appearance mode by publishing it to the Frigate WebSocket API.
Inputs
- Camera (required) — The camera name as configured in Frigate.
- Mode (required) — When the camera appears in Birdseye: Continuous, Motion, or Objects. Defaults to Continuous.
- Await State Confirmation — When enabled, waits for the camera’s matching Birdseye mode state read-back after publishing. Defaults to false.
- Confirmation Timeout (Ms) — When confirmation is enabled, how long to wait for the read-back, from 0 to 600000 ms. Defaults to 5000 ms.
Output shape
One n8n item per input item, containing operation, topic, payload, and published fields; when state confirmation is enabled, also includes received, confirmed, stateTopic, and stateValue.
Publishes the selected mode to
/birdseye_mode/set. If confirmation is enabled, waits for /birdseye_mode/state; a timeout still returns an item with received and confirmed false and stateValue null. The output preserves the input item pairing.
