 Frigate utilizes shared memory to store frames during processing. The default `shm-size` provided by Docker is **64MB**.
 
-The default shm-size of **64MB** is fine for setups with 2 or less 1080p cameras. If Frigate is exiting with "Bus error" messages, it is likely because you have too many high resolution cameras and you need to specify a higher shm size.
+The default shm size of **64MB** is fine for setups with **2 cameras** detecting at **720p**. If Frigate is exiting with "Bus error" messages, it is likely because you have too many high resolution cameras and you need to specify a higher shm size.
 
-You can calculate the necessary shm-size for each camera with the following formula using the resolution specified for detect:
+The Frigate container also stores logs in shm, which can take up to **30MB**, so make sure to take this into account in your math as well.

 The shm size cannot be set per container for Home Assistant Addons. You must set `default-shm-size` in `/etc/docker/daemon.json` to increase the default shm size. This will increase the shm size for all of your docker containers. This may or may not cause issues with your setup. https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#daemon-configuration-file
