* add import/export for camera group layouts and streaming settings
Camera group layouts and per-camera streaming settings are stored in the browser's IndexedDB, so they are tied to a single browser on a single device. Users with more than one device have to rebuild every group layout and re-pick every camera's stream settings by hand, and clearing browser data loses the work.
Add a Backup & Restore card to Settings > UI Settings that exports these settings to a JSON file and imports that file on another device. Import shows a confirmation dialog with per-section counts, switches for layouts, streaming settings, and UI preferences, and warnings about camera groups or cameras in the file that are not on this server.
Server-side storage is deliberately avoided. These are per-device presentation settings: a layout arranged for a desktop is wrong on a tablet, and continuous full-resolution streams that are free on a wired LAN are not on a phone. An explicit file moves settings only when the user chooses to move them.
Implementation notes:
- web/src/utils/uiSettingsTransfer.ts owns a registry of transferable IndexedDB keys. Each entry records whether the key is user-namespaced, matching which persistence hook wrote it, plus a zod schema for its value.
- Only registry-known keys are ever written, and only when their value passes that schema. The file format deliberately lets unknown keys survive parsing, so this filter is what prevents a hand-edited file from writing arbitrary storage keys or out-of-range values.
- Export falls back to the legacy un-namespaced key, because the username migration runs lazily on first mount of each owning hook.
- Streaming settings merge per group rather than replacing the whole map, so groups configured only on the receiving device survive.
- Import writes storage and then reloads, because useUserPersistence reads a key only on mount and StreamingSettingsProvider would otherwise write its stale in-memory state back over the import.
- playbackBandwidthEstimate, frigate-search-history, and live-layout are excluded: the first two are measurements and user data rather than preferences, and live-layout's default is derived from the device.
* merge imported streaming settings per camera instead of per group
Allow audio classes to be grouped under a shared configured label.
Keep audio overrides separate from object labels and retain only the highest-scoring grouped detection.
Refs #23967
* serve a segment startup ladder so seeks begin playing sooner
nginx-vod was handed one 10s segment per recording file, so every playlist start had to download and decode a full segment before the first frame. Declare real keyframe data per clip and let nginx cut short leading segments from it.
- add vod_bootstrap_segment_durations 1000/2000/4000 so each playlist starts with 1s/2s/4s segments before settling at 10s
- emit real clip-relative keyFrameDurations (plus firstKeyFrameOffset when nonzero) from the recording keyframe index; rows without an index keep the whole-clip declaration, the only safe cut without keyframe knowledge
- drop the manifest's segment_duration field, which was always inert: nginx-vod parses only camelCase segmentDuration
- rebuild the player source at the seek target, quantized to a 10s grid, so the ladder applies to every seek and seek URLs stay repeatable for nginx's mapping and response caches
- route the seek model, in-range checks, and the stale-report guard through the source window rather than the chunk range
- bridge repositioning seeks (>2s from the last played timestamp) through the preview player and hold the release anchor one commit, so neither path paints a stale frame
- clear a pending loading timer before replacing it; an orphaned timer escaped onPlaying's clearTimeout and flashed loading mid-playback
* keep recordings queries on their indexes
Several recordings queries degraded into full scans or large sorts on big databases: the planner ignored index order, or the query shape gave it nothing tight to seek on. Reshape them into bounded seeks and add the composite index the per-stream lookups need.
- index recordings on (camera, stream_type, start_time DESC) and drop the (camera, stream_type) index it supersedes
- walk the recordings summary day by day with EXISTS probes and per-camera MIN/MAX seeks, skipping ahead over empty gaps instead of bucketing every row for the requested cameras
- run the summary endpoint on the event loop rather than the threadpool
- bound the unavailable-recordings query by start_time per camera and merge the results in Python
- bound the expire query's start_time so it seeks the retention window instead of scanning a camera's whole history
- enumerate deleted cameras with one index seek each rather than a camera NOT IN (...) scan
- compute bandwidth with segment_size filtered in a CASE projection; as a WHERE predicate it baited the planner into the (camera, segment_size) index plus a full sort of the camera's history
- fall back to a 1000-segment window when the recent 100 are all zero-size, so an ingest glitch doesn't report zero bandwidth
- limit the needs_refresh count instead of counting every segment
- cover sub-only and sparse calendar days, midnight-spanning day attribution, multi-camera gap merging, deleted-camera expiry, and zero-size segment runs
* fix mypy
* add ptz controls to camera via wizard when onvif has already been probed
* i18n
* add e2e test
* backend add and remove subscriber

* turn on switch by default if pan and/or tilt capability is available
* fix test
* add sub stream recording with adaptive quality playback
Optionally record a second, lower bitrate stream alongside the main
recording stream via a `record_sub` input role and `record.sub` config block, with its own retention windows.
Recordings rows now carry the stream type plus the media details needed to serve both streams from one manifest: video codec, audio presence, audio codec and rate, and a record-time keyframe index.
Playback resolves coverage across both streams and merges them into a single VOD sequence, falling back to a discontinuity manifest with per-clip init segments when the media signatures differ. The player exposes a quality selector, and an auto governor picks the stream from stall time, bandwidth, codec support, and the save-data hint.
* fix tests and i18n
* Add combined motion and object Birdseye mode
Add a motion_objects mode that keeps Birdseye active when motion is detected or a confirmed tracked object is present, including stationary objects.
Wire the mode through configuration, runtime commands, API schemas, documentation, and UI labels. Exclude false-positive trackers and add regression coverage for Birdseye activation and MQTT validation.
* Refactor Birdseye activity types as booleans
Replace combination-specific Birdseye modes with composable boolean activity types for motion, active objects, stationary objects, and continuous display.
Preserve legacy single-mode configuration and MQTT inputs, support canonical comma-separated MQTT combinations, and allow scalar YAML values to be replaced by nested settings through the config API.
* Preserve OpenVINO config translations
Regenerate the configuration translations with the OpenVINO detector schema available so the unrelated production detector labels remain intact.
* Preserve partial Birdseye mode overrides
Allow an empty activity selection with a canonical NONE MQTT state so partial camera and profile overrides can disable inherited flags without failing validation.
Add regression coverage for camera and profile inheritance, document the NONE contract, and keep the generated schema fixture scoped to Birdseye.
* Address Birdseye activity review feedback
Move scalar mode compatibility into the 0.18-1 config migration and reject empty activity selections instead of publishing a NONE state.
Pass activity signals through a frozen dataclass, preserve existing active-object tracker behavior, and require confirmed stationary objects. Revert the generic YAML mutation and cover migration, inheritance, MQTT, and activation regressions.
* Move Birdseye migration to 0.19
Use the 0.19-0 configuration revision for converting scalar Birdseye modes to composable activity flags, and update the migration regression coverage accordingly.
* Remove Birdseye migration test
Drop the dedicated config migration test as requested during review while retaining the 0.19-0 migration implementation.
* fix classification drawer closing instead of scrolling when list is long on mobile
* add qwen3.8 to genai docs
* add titles to more clearly separate model types
<camera>/notifications/suspended arrives as a string over the live connection but as a number in the camera_activity snapshot, and the truthiness guard dropped the numeric 0, so a camera with notifications off rendered as active after a reload. Normalize to a string and derive isSuspended instead of storing it.
* fix(audio): correct sodeling typo to yodeling
Fixes a typo in audio-labelmap.txt where the yodeling class was
misspelled as "sodeling".
* fix(i18n): remove duplicate sodeling key in en audio.json
The en audio.json already contains a correct "yodeling" key. Remove
the duplicate/misspelled "sodeling" entry to avoid ambiguity.
* add host npu requirements to docs
* allow toggling live audio transcription via mqtt
* improve spacing consistency on mobile drawers

adds only 162kb gzipped/450k unzipped to the bundle
* margin tweak
* fix maximum update depth exceeded when dragging the timeline handlebar
Dragging the handlebar, especially quickly or with fast direction changes, could exceed React's nested update limit and unmount the whole app, leaving a blank screen. Motion search was worst affected.
The drag loop committed a new time into React state on every animation frame. Edge auto-scrolling mutates scrollTop each iteration, so the value always differed and React's same-value bail-out never engaged, letting the update chain run to the limit of 50. Pace those commits to one per 100ms and flush the pending value on release, so the drop position is still exact. The handlebar position and label are written to the DOM directly and remain at frame rate.
useUserInteraction dispatched state on every scroll and touchmove event; only commit on the leading edge.
Motion search also passed fresh array literals for the timeline's events, motion events and unavailable ranges, giving the segment memo and the drag effect new dependencies on every render. Both views also passed an inline arrow for onHandlebarDraggingChange, which is an effect dependency that calls setState.
* Verify motion search jobs belong to the requested camera
* Apply persisted profile and runtime overrides before workers start
Worker processes are handed a copy of the config when they start and only learn about later changes from the config_updater broadcast, which is plain ZMQ PUB/SUB with no queue, ack, or retained value, so a message published before a subscriber has connected is dropped and never re-sent. The persisted profile and the runtime camera toggles were restored only by that broadcast, at the very end of startup, so a worker that lost the race kept its yaml values for the rest of the session: audio detection kept running on a camera whose audio had been toggled off, even though /api/config, the UI, and the runtime state file all showed it disabled. Split both restores into a config half and a publish half. ProfileManager.restore_persisted_profile_to_config() and Dispatcher.reapply_runtime_state_to_config() now run right after init_profile_manager(), before the first worker starts, so every worker is handed a config that already carries both layers. ProfileManager.restore_persisted_profile() and Dispatcher.restore_runtime_state() still run at the end of startup: the recording, review, and embeddings processes start before the dispatcher exists, so the broadcast remains their only channel, and MQTT needs the retained switch states. Both config passes have to stay after init_profile_manager(), which snapshots the config as the no-profile base that deactivation resets to.
* End timeline drags on touchcancel
When a motion region filter is active, zoom each preview clip into the outer bounds of the selected cells instead of showing the full frame. Tiles take on the aspect ratio of the cropped region, clamped to avoid slivers when the selection is a single row or column, so the grid stays uniform. A "Crop to filter" switch in the preview settings turns this off and restores the previous 16:9 tiles. The transform is applied to a wrapper holding both the media and the dim overlay canvas so the motion heatmap stays registered to the pixels.
Fix the region filter grid, which mapped cells onto a hardcoded 16:9 box while the snapshot was letterboxed inside it with object-contain. Heatmap cells are indexed against the detect frame, so on a 4:3 camera every painted cell was off by up to 12.5% of the frame width, and the true left and right edges of the image could only be reached by painting the black bars. The grid box now takes the camera's detect aspect ratio, capped at 65dvh tall so 4:3 and portrait cameras do not overflow the dialog.
* update network requirements docs for keras weights download
* fix manual PTZ relative moves permanently stopping object detection
* document available camera set features and link profiles docs to the API
* fix stale stream name field when switching cameras
The live streams and known plates fields rendered the map key as an uncontrolled input, so switching cameras left the previous camera's stream name on screen and would rename the wrong key if that stale text was committed. Both now use a shared MapKeyInput that resyncs with the form data and commits per keystroke, except while the typed name belongs to another entry, so the section is marked modified without waiting for blur.
* improve display of gpu graphs in system metrics
* docs tweaks
* Only hide cameras with ui.dashboard disabled from the All Cameras dashboard
The settings camera selector and zone editor also filtered on ui.dashboard, so hiding a camera from the dashboard made its zones and masks uneditable in the UI (GH 23870). Drop those filters and correct the field title, help text, and reference docs to describe what the option actually does
* hide cameras with ui.review disabled from the Motion tab and the review summaries
The Motion tab built its own camera list that never checked ui.review, so a hidden camera still got a preview tile, and its motion and overlap queries fell back to every allowed camera. The review and recordings summaries had the same gap: they are aggregate day counts that can't be filtered client side, so a hidden camera kept contributing to the severity tab counts and calendar indicators while its items were absent from the list. Filter the motion camera list on ui.review and query all four endpoints with the visible camera list instead of letting the backend default to all, and skip the summary queries until the config resolves so the counts don't briefly render as zero.
* Scope every review page query to the cameras visible in review
The segments and the summary counts were derived from different camera sets: the list was fetched for all cameras and filtered client side, while the summaries were fetched for the visible cameras only when no explicit camera filter was set. A ?cameras= link can name a camera hidden from review, which left the count above zero with an empty list, pinning the new items to review popover open and making the auto refresh effect loop. Intersect an explicit camera selection with the visible list rather than trusting it, pass that to the segment and summary queries alike, and drop the now redundant client side filter, which the raw segments handed to the history view were bypassing anyway.

* Combine Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 listings
* fix openvino yolox detector crashing on every detection
The intermediate (N, 7) array in the yolox branch shadowed the pre-allocated (20, 6) detections buffer, so writing a detection into it raised "could not broadcast input array from shape (6,) into shape (7,)" on the first frame with anything above the confidence threshold. An empty frame also returned a (0, 7) array instead of the (20, 6) buffer.
Regressed in #13794, which renamed the intermediate from dets to detections as part of a cspell cleanup. Broken since 0.15.0.
