Hi everyone, I’m trying to set up my Reolink WIFI doorbell with two-way audio using Frigate and the Frigate card. It works in terms of video and basic functionality, but I’m encountering two main issues that I’m hoping someone can help me resolve.
First, I have to hold down the mouse pointer on the microphone symbol in the Frigate card to speak. I was wondering if there’s a way to make the microphone stay active once I click it, similar to how it works on the Frigate tab. This would make communication much smoother and more user-friendly.
Second, when I turn on the microphone and press the doorbell button, no sound is emitted from the doorbell. I’ve checked the Reolink app, and it does show an event when the doorbell is pressed, but the audio doesn’t play. I’ve read that this might be a known issue, but I’m not sure if it’s still unresolved. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
Here’s a quick overview of my current setup:
- Frigate Version: 0.14.1
- Frigate Card Version: 5.2.0
- Reolink Doorbell Firmware: v3.0.0.4110_2410111119
I’ve included my configurations below for reference:

I’ve also made some adjustments in the Reolink web interface, such as changing the I-frame Interval to 1 under “Stream” and deactivating “Enabled UI” under “Network” > “Advanced”. Despite these changes, the issues persist.
If anyone has successfully resolved similar problems or has any suggestions, I’d be more than happy to hear from you! Thanks in advance for your help and support.
