These logs indicate that the data that is received is corrupt and cv2 as well as ffprobe can not extract necessary data

Ok I figured it would be a crappy stream from the DVR. Is there anything I can do to stop Frigate from consuming all the system memory?

I will see if I can update firmware on the DVR to see if that helps.

on frigate side you can try using docker to limit the memory available. Can also try using ffmpeg in the go2rtc config

So I added "ffmpeg:rtsp://username:[email protected]:554/chID=02&streamType=sub#video=copy#audio=copy" to both front and rear cameras and the front seems ok now. The rear is still not happy:

I'm using HA OS unfortunately so I don't think that's an option.
