Describe the problem you are having

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm trying to figure out what the best current way is to display my frigate camera feeds in my HA dashboard.

There's a variety of different cards (HA card, frigate card, web2rtc card, etc.) plus I'm not sure if I need something in my config to better facilitate it. Also, I'm not sure if HA's recent udpate of web2rtc changes things. I do have "Use Frigate-native WebRTC support" enabled in my Frigate HA integration if relevant.

Right now, I use Frigate cards but the streams are often very choppy both internally and remotely (via CloudFlare tunnel).

But if I go to the Frigate UI in HA, they are perfectly sharp. Maybe this is just an HA issue, but I thought I'd atleast check.

I run Frigate via Docker & Portainer on my Intel NUC seperate from HA.

you can start with using HA 2024.12 and the latest Frigate integration, use the picture glances card and see how things work
