fix rtmp again

Based on issue #1976 - specify explicitly that these fields can include environment variables to avoid interpretation that environment variables could be used anywhere.
I am participating in #hacktoberfest, so I would appreciate if you could add the 'hacktoberfest-accepted' label (or add #hacktoberfest topic to your repo). Thanks!

 The labelmap can be customized to your needs. A common reason to do this is to combine multiple object types that are easily confused when you don't need to be as granular such as car/truck. By default, truck is renamed to car because they are often confused. You cannot add new object types, but you can change the names of existing objects in the model.

 ### How can I get sound or audio in my recordings?
 
-By default, Frigate removes audio from recordings to reduce the likelihood of failing for invalid data. If you would like to include audio, you need to override the output args to remove `-an` for where you want to include audio. The recommended audio codec is `aac`. Not all audio codecs are supported by RTMP, so you may need to re-encode your audio with `-c:a aac`. The default ffmpeg args are shown [here](configuration/index#ffmpeg).

 I recommend Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest in that order. Dahua edges out Hikvision because they are easier to find and order, not because they are better cameras. I personally use Dahua cameras because they are easier to purchase directly. In my experience Dahua and Hikvision both have multiple streams with configurable resolutions and frame rates and rock solid streams. They also both have models with large sensors well known for excellent image quality at night. Not all the models are equal. Larger sensors are better than higher resolutions; especially at night. Amcrest is the fallback recommendation because they are rebranded Dahuas. They are rebranding the lower end models with smaller sensors or less configuration options.
 
+Many users have reported various issues with Reolink cameras, so I do not recommend them. If you are using Reolink, I suggest the [Reolink specific configuration](configuration/camera_specific#reolink-410520-possibly-others). Wifi cameras are also not recommended. Their streams are less reliable and cause connection loss and/or lost video data.

 The PCIe and M.2 versions require installation of a driver on the host. Follow the instructions for your version from https://coral.ai
 
 A single Coral can handle many cameras and will be sufficient for the majority of users. You can calculate the maximum performance of your Coral based on the inference speed reported by Frigate. With an inference speed of 10, your Coral will top out at `1000/10=100`, or 100 frames per second. If your detection fps is regularly getting close to that, you should first consider tuning motion masks. If those are already properly configured, a second Coral may be needed.
+
+### What does Frigate use the CPU for and what does it use the Coral for? (ELI5 Version)
+
+This is taken from a [user question on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/q8mgau/comment/hgqbxh5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). Modified slightly for clarity.
+
+CPU Usage: I am a CPU, Mendel is a Google Coral
+
+My buddy Mendel and I have been tasked with keeping the neighbor's red footed booby off my parent's yard. Now I'm really bad at identifying birds. It takes me forever, but my buddy Mendel is incredible at it.
+
+Mendel however, struggles at pretty much anything else. So we make an agreement. I wait till I see something that moves, and snap a picture of it for Mendel. I then show him the picture and he tells me what it is. Most of the time it isn't anything. But eventually I see some movement and Mendel tells me it is the Booby. Score!
+
+_What happens when I increase the resolution of my camera?_
+
+However we realize that there is a problem. There is still booby poop all over the yard. How could we miss that! I've been watching all day! My parents check the window and realize its dirty and a bit small to see the entire yard so they clean it and put a bigger one in there. Now there is so much more to see! However I now have a much bigger area to scan for movement and have to work a lot harder! Even my buddy Mendel has to work harder, as now the pictures have a lot more detail in them that he has to look at to see if it is our sneaky booby.
+
+Basically - When you increase the resolution and/or the frame rate of the stream there is now significantly more data for the CPU to parse. That takes additional computing power. The Google Coral is really good at doing object detection, but it doesn't have time to look everywhere all the time (especially when there are many windows to check). To balance it, Frigate uses the CPU to look for movement, then sends those frames to the Coral to do object detection. This allows the Coral to be available to a large number of cameras and not overload it.
+
+### Do hwaccel args help if I am using a Coral?
+
+YES! The Coral does not help with decoding video streams.
+
+Decompressing video streams takes a significant amount of CPU power. Video compression uses key frames (also known as I-frames) to send a full frame in the video stream. The following frames only include the difference from the key frame, and the CPU has to compile each frame by merging the differences with the key frame. [More detailed explanation](https://blog.video.ibm.com/streaming-video-tips/keyframes-interframe-video-compression/). Higher resolutions and frame rates mean more processing power is needed to decode the video stream, so try and set them on the camera to avoid unnecessary decoding work.

+### Storage
+
+Frigate uses the following locations for read/write operations in the container. Docker volume mappings can be used to map these to any location on your host machine.
+
+- `/media/frigate/clips`: Used for snapshot storage. In the future, it will likely be renamed from `clips` to `snapshots`. The file structure here cannot be modified and isn't intended to be browsed or managed manually.
+- `/media/frigate/recordings`: Internal system storage for recording segments. The file structure here cannot be modified and isn't intended to be browsed or managed manually.
+- `/media/frigate/frigate.db`: Default location for the sqlite database. You will also see several files alongside this file while frigate is running. If moving the database location (often needed when using a network drive at `/media/frigate`), it is recommended to mount a volume with docker at `/db` and change the storage location of the database to `/db/frigate.db` in the config file.
+- `/tmp/cache`: Cache location for recording segments. Initial recordings are written here before being checked and converted to mp4 and moved to the recordings folder.
+- `/dev/shm`: It is not recommended to modify this directory or map it with docker. This is the location for raw decoded frames in shared memory and it's size is impacted by the `shm-size` calculations below.
+- `/config/config.yml`: Default location of the config file.
