-# GitHub Copilot Instructions for Frigate NVR
-
-This document provides coding guidelines and best practices for contributing to Frigate NVR, a complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-Frigate NVR is a realtime object detection system for IP cameras that uses:
-
-- **Backend**: Python 3.13+ with FastAPI, OpenCV, TensorFlow/ONNX
-- **Frontend**: React with TypeScript, Vite, TailwindCSS
-- **Architecture**: Multiprocessing design with ZMQ and MQTT communication
-- **Focus**: Minimal resource usage with maximum performance
-
-## Code Review Guidelines
-
-When reviewing code, do NOT comment on:
-
-- Missing imports - Static analysis tooling catches these
-- Code formatting - Ruff (Python) and Prettier (TypeScript/React) handle formatting
-- Minor style inconsistencies already enforced by linters
-
-## Python Backend Standards
-
-### Python Requirements
-
-- **Compatibility**: Python 3.13+
-- **Language Features**: Use modern Python features:
-  - Pattern matching
-  - Type hints (comprehensive typing preferred)
-  - f-strings (preferred over `%` or `.format()`)
-  - Dataclasses
-  - Async/await patterns
-
-### Code Quality Standards
-
-- **Formatting**: Ruff (configured in `pyproject.toml`)
-- **Linting**: Ruff with rules defined in project config
-- **Type Checking**: Use type hints consistently
-- **Testing**: unittest framework - use `python3 -u -m unittest` to run tests
-- **Language**: American English for all code, comments, and documentation
-
-### Logging Standards
-
-- **Logger Pattern**: Use module-level logger
-
-  ```python
-  import logging
-
-  logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
-  ```
-
-- **Format Guidelines**:
-  - No periods at end of log messages
-  - No sensitive data (keys, tokens, passwords)
-  - Use lazy logging: `logger.debug("Message with %s", variable)`
-- **Log Levels**:
-  - `debug`: Development and troubleshooting information
-  - `info`: Important runtime events (startup, shutdown, state changes)
-  - `warning`: Recoverable issues that should be addressed
-  - `error`: Errors that affect functionality but don't crash the app
-  - `exception`: Use in except blocks to include traceback
-
-### Error Handling
-
-- **Exception Types**: Choose most specific exception available
-- **Try/Catch Best Practices**:
-  - Only wrap code that can throw exceptions
-  - Keep try blocks minimal - process data after the try/except
-  - Avoid bare exceptions except in background tasks
-
-  Bad pattern:
-
-  ```python
-  try:
-      data = await device.get_data()  # Can throw
-      # ❌ Don't process data inside try block
-      processed = data.get("value", 0) * 100
-      result = processed
-  except DeviceError:
-      logger.error("Failed to get data")
-  ```
-
-  Good pattern:
-
-  ```python
-  try:
-      data = await device.get_data()  # Can throw
-  except DeviceError:
-      logger.error("Failed to get data")
-      return
-
-  # ✅ Process data outside try block
-  processed = data.get("value", 0) * 100
-  result = processed
-  ```
-
-### Async Programming
-
-- **External I/O**: All external I/O operations must be async
-- **Best Practices**:
-  - Avoid sleeping in loops - use `asyncio.sleep()` not `time.sleep()`
-  - Avoid awaiting in loops - use `asyncio.gather()` instead
-  - No blocking calls in async functions
-  - Use `asyncio.create_task()` for background operations
-- **Thread Safety**: Use proper synchronization for shared state
-
-### Documentation Standards
-
-- **Module Docstrings**: Concise descriptions at top of files
-  ```python
-  """Utilities for motion detection and analysis."""
-  ```
-- **Function Docstrings**: Required for public functions and methods
-
-  ```python
-  async def process_frame(frame: ndarray, config: Config) -> Detection:
-      """Process a video frame for object detection.
-
-      Args:
-          frame: The video frame as numpy array
-          config: Detection configuration
-
-      Returns:
-          Detection results with bounding boxes
-      """
-  ```
-
-- **Comment Style**:
-  - Explain the "why" not just the "what"
-  - Keep lines under 88 characters when possible
-  - Use clear, descriptive comments
-
-### File Organization
-
-- **API Endpoints**: `frigate/api/` - FastAPI route handlers
-- **Configuration**: `frigate/config/` - Configuration parsing and validation
-- **Detectors**: `frigate/detectors/` - Object detection backends
-- **Events**: `frigate/events/` - Event management and storage
-- **Utilities**: `frigate/util/` - Shared utility functions
-
-## Frontend (React/TypeScript) Standards
-
-### Internationalization (i18n)
-
-- **CRITICAL**: Never write user-facing strings directly in components
-- **Always use react-i18next**: Import and use the `t()` function
-
-  ```tsx
-  import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
-
-  function MyComponent() {
-    const { t } = useTranslation(["views/live"]);
-    return <div>{t("camera_not_found")}</div>;
-  }
-  ```
-
-- **Translation Files**: Add English strings to the appropriate json files in `web/public/locales/en`
-- **Namespaces**: Organize translations by feature/view (e.g., `views/live`, `common`, `views/system`)
-
-### Code Quality
-
-- **Linting**: ESLint (see `web/.eslintrc.cjs`)
-- **Formatting**: Prettier with Tailwind CSS plugin
-- **Type Safety**: TypeScript strict mode enabled
-- **Testing**: Vitest for unit tests
-
-### Component Patterns
-
-- **UI Components**: Use Radix UI primitives (in `web/src/components/ui/`)
-- **Styling**: TailwindCSS with `cn()` utility for class merging
-- **State Management**: React hooks (useState, useEffect, useCallback, useMemo)
-- **Data Fetching**: Custom hooks with proper loading and error states
-
-### ESLint Rules
-
-Key rules enforced:
-
-- `react-hooks/rules-of-hooks`: error
-- `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`: error
-- `no-console`: error (use proper logging or remove)
-- `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any`: warn (always use proper types instead of `any`)
-- Unused variables must be prefixed with `_`
-- Comma dangles required for multiline objects/arrays
-
-### File Organization
-
-- **Pages**: `web/src/pages/` - Route components
-- **Views**: `web/src/views/` - Complex view components
-- **Components**: `web/src/components/` - Reusable components
-- **Hooks**: `web/src/hooks/` - Custom React hooks
-- **API**: `web/src/api/` - API client functions
-- **Types**: `web/src/types/` - TypeScript type definitions
-
-## Testing Requirements
-
-### Backend Testing
-
-- **Framework**: Python unittest
-- **Run Command**: `python3 -u -m unittest`
-- **Location**: `frigate/test/`
-- **Coverage**: Aim for comprehensive test coverage of core functionality
-- **Pattern**: Use `TestCase` classes with descriptive test method names
-  ```python
-  class TestMotionDetection(unittest.TestCase):
-      def test_detects_motion_above_threshold(self):
-          # Test implementation
-  ```
-
-### Test Best Practices
-
-- Always have a way to test your work and confirm your changes
-- Write tests for bug fixes to prevent regressions
-- Test edge cases and error conditions
-- Mock external dependencies (cameras, APIs, hardware)
-- Use fixtures for test data
-
-## Development Commands
-
-### Python Backend
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-python3 -u -m unittest
-
-# Run specific test file
-python3 -u -m unittest frigate.test.test_ffmpeg_presets
-
-# Check formatting (Ruff)
-ruff format --check frigate/
-
-# Apply formatting
-ruff format frigate/
-
-# Run linter
-ruff check frigate/
-```
-
-### Frontend (from web/ directory)
-
-```bash
-# Start dev server (AI agents should never run this directly unless asked)
-npm run dev
-
-# Build for production
-npm run build
-
-# Run linter
-npm run lint
-
-# Fix linting issues
-npm run lint:fix
-
-# Format code
-npm run prettier:write
-```
-
-### Docker Development
-
-AI agents should never run these commands directly unless instructed.
-
-```bash
-# Build local image
-make local
-
-# Build debug image
-make debug
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### API Endpoint Pattern
-
-```python
-from fastapi import APIRouter, Request
-from frigate.api.defs.tags import Tags
-
-router = APIRouter(tags=[Tags.Events])
-
-@router.get("/events")
-async def get_events(request: Request, limit: int = 100):
-    """Retrieve events from the database."""
-    # Implementation
-```
-
-### Configuration Access
-
-```python
-# Access Frigate configuration
-config: FrigateConfig = request.app.frigate_config
-camera_config = config.cameras["front_door"]
-```
-
-### Database Queries
-
-```python
-from frigate.models import Event
-
-# Use Peewee ORM for database access
-events = (
-    Event.select()
-    .where(Event.camera == camera_name)
-    .order_by(Event.start_time.desc())
-    .limit(limit)
-)
-```
-
-## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
-
-### ❌ Avoid These
-
-```python
-# Blocking operations in async functions
-data = requests.get(url)  # ❌ Use async HTTP client
-time.sleep(5)  # ❌ Use asyncio.sleep()
-
-# Hardcoded strings in React components
-<div>Camera not found</div>  # ❌ Use t("camera_not_found")
-
-# Missing error handling
-data = await api.get_data()  # ❌ No exception handling
-
-# Bare exceptions in regular code
-try:
-    value = await sensor.read()
-except Exception:  # ❌ Too broad
-    logger.error("Failed")
-
-# Returning exceptions in JSON responses
-except ValueError as e:
-    return JSONResponse(
-        content={"success": False, "message": str(e)},
-    )
-```
-
-### ✅ Use These Instead
-
-```python
-# Async operations
-import aiohttp
-async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
-    async with session.get(url) as response:
-        data = await response.json()
-
-await asyncio.sleep(5)  # ✅ Non-blocking
-
-# Translatable strings in React
-const { t } = useTranslation();
-<div>{t("camera_not_found")}</div>  # ✅ Translatable
-
-# Proper error handling
-try:
-    data = await api.get_data()
-except ApiException as err:
-    logger.error("API error: %s", err)
-    raise
-
-# Specific exceptions
-try:
-    value = await sensor.read()
-except SensorException as err:  # ✅ Specific
-    logger.exception("Failed to read sensor")
-
-# Safe error responses
-except ValueError:
-    logger.exception("Invalid parameters for API request")
-    return JSONResponse(
-        content={
-            "success": False,
-            "message": "Invalid request parameters",
-        },
-    )
-```

+
+### Frontend (from web/ directory)
+
+```bash
+# Start dev server (AI agents should never run this directly unless asked)

+
+# Regenerate config translations from Pydantic models — outputs to
+# web/public/locales/en/config/{global,cameras}.json. NEVER edit those
+# JSON files by hand; change the Pydantic field title/description and
+# re-run this script. (from repo root)
+python3 generate_config_translations.py
+
+# Extract i18n keys from source into the locale files after adding
+# new t() calls. Use the :ci variant to verify the locale files are
+# in sync with source (fails if extraction would change anything).
+npm run i18n:extract
+npm run i18n:extract:ci
+```
+
+### Docker Development
+
+AI agents should never run these commands directly unless instructed.
+
+```bash
+# Build local image
+make local
+
+# Build debug image
+make debug
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### API Endpoint Pattern
+
+```python
+from fastapi import APIRouter, Request
+from frigate.api.defs.tags import Tags
+
+router = APIRouter(tags=[Tags.Events])
+
+@router.get("/events")
+async def get_events(request: Request, limit: int = 100):
+    """Retrieve events from the database."""
+    # Implementation
+```
+
+### Configuration Access
+
+```python
+# Access Frigate configuration
+config: FrigateConfig = request.app.frigate_config
+camera_config = config.cameras["front_door"]
+```
+
+### Database Queries
+
+```python
+from frigate.models import Event
+
+# Use Peewee ORM for database access
+events = (
+    Event.select()
+    .where(Event.camera == camera_name)
+    .order_by(Event.start_time.desc())
+    .limit(limit)
+)
+```
+
+## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+### ❌ Avoid These
+

+## WebSocket Broadcasts
+
+Outbound WebSocket broadcasts go through a per-recipient classifier in `frigate/comms/ws.py` that enforces camera-level access. **The classifier is fail-closed: any topic it doesn't recognize is dropped for every client.** New outbound topics must be classified there or they'll silently disappear.

 ### New features
 
-Every new feature adds scope that the maintainers must test, maintain, and support long-term. Before writing code for a new feature:
+A pull request is more than just code — it's a request for the maintainers to review, integrate, and support the change long-term. We're selective about what we take on, and prioritize changes that align with the project's direction and can be responsibly maintained in the long term.
 
-1. **Check for existing discussion.** Search [feature requests](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues) and [discussions](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions) to see if it's been proposed or discussed. Pinned feature requests are on our radar — we plan to get to them, but we don't maintain a public roadmap or timeline. Check in with us first if you have interest in contributing to one.
+**Large or highly-requested features** raise the bar even higher. Popularity signals demand, but it doesn't pre-approve any particular implementation. The bigger the change, the higher the long-term cost, and the more important it is that we're aligned on scope and approach before any code is written. A large PR that lands without prior discussion is unlikely to be merged as-is, no matter how well it's implemented.

+1. **Check for existing discussion.** Search [feature requests](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues) and [discussions](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions) to see if it's been proposed or discussed. Feature requests tagged with "planned" are on our radar — we plan to get to them, but we don't maintain a public roadmap or timeline. Check in with us first if you have interest in contributing to one.
 2. **Start a discussion or feature request first.** This helps ensure your idea aligns with Frigate's direction before you invest time building it. Community interest in a feature request helps us gauge demand, though a great idea is a great idea even without a crowd behind it.
-3. **Be open to "no".** We try to be thoughtful about what we take on, and sometimes that means saying no to good code if the feature isn't the right fit for the project. These calls are sometimes subjective, and we won't always get them right. We're happy to discuss and reconsider.

 Some honest context: when we review a PR, we're not just evaluating whether the code works today. We're evaluating whether we can maintain it, debug it, and extend it long-term — often without the original author's involvement. Code that the author doesn't deeply understand is code that nobody understands, and that's a liability.
 
+One more thing worth saying directly: most maintainers already have access to the same AI tools you do. A PR that's entirely AI-generated — where the author can't explain the design, debug issues independently, or engage substantively in design discussions — doesn't offer something we couldn't produce ourselves. What makes a contribution genuinely valuable is the human judgment and domain understanding behind it, as well as the engagement during review that shapes it into something we can confidently take on long-term.

 ### Model Types: Instruct vs Thinking
 
-Most vision-language models are available as **instruct** models, which are fine-tuned to follow instructions and respond concisely to prompts. However, some models (such as certain Qwen-VL or minigpt variants) offer both **instruct** and **thinking** versions.
+Vision-language models come in **instruct** variants (fine-tuned to follow instructions and respond concisely), **thinking** variants (fine-tuned for free-form, speculative reasoning), and **hybrid** variants that support both modes per request. Most modern vision-language models are hybrid.
 
-- **Instruct models** are always recommended for use with Frigate. These models generate direct, relevant, actionable descriptions that best fit Frigate's object and event summary use case.
-- **Reasoning / Thinking models** are fine-tuned for more free-form, open-ended, and speculative outputs, which are typically not concise and may not provide the practical summaries Frigate expects. For this reason, Frigate does **not** recommend or support using thinking models.
+Frigate manages reasoning per task automatically:
 
-Some models are labeled as **hybrid** (capable of both thinking and instruct tasks). In these cases, it is recommended to disable reasoning / thinking, which is generally model specific (see your models documentation).
+- **Description tasks** (object descriptions, review descriptions, review summaries) are synthesis-only and benefit from concise, direct output, so Frigate disables thinking for these calls when the model exposes a per-request toggle.

-### Configuring Intel GPU Stats in Docker
+### Configuring Intel GPU Stats
 
-Additional configuration is needed for the Docker container to be able to access the `intel_gpu_top` command for GPU stats. There are two options:
+Frigate reads Intel GPU utilization directly from the kernel's per-client DRM usage counters exposed at `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>`. This requires:
 
-1. Run the container as privileged.
-2. Add the `CAP_PERFMON` capability (note: you might need to set the `perf_event_paranoid` low enough to allow access to the performance event system.)
+- Linux kernel **5.19 or newer** for the `i915` driver, or any release of the `xe` driver.
+- Frigate running with permission to read other processes' fdinfo. Running as root inside the container (the default) satisfies this; non-root setups may need `CAP_SYS_PTRACE`.
 
-#### Run as privileged
+No `intel_gpu_top` binary, `CAP_PERFMON`, privileged mode, or `perf_event_paranoid` tuning is required.
 
-This method works, but it gives more permissions to the container than are actually needed.
+#### Stats for SR-IOV or specific devices
 
-##### Docker Compose - Privileged
-
-```yaml
-services:
-  frigate:
-    ...
-    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
-    # highlight-next-line
-    privileged: true
-```
-
-##### Docker Run CLI - Privileged
-
-```bash {4}
-docker run -d \
-  --name frigate \
-  ...
-  --privileged \
-  ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
-```
-
-#### CAP_PERFMON
-
-Only recent versions of Docker support the `CAP_PERFMON` capability. You can test to see if yours supports it by running: `docker run --cap-add=CAP_PERFMON hello-world`
-
-##### Docker Compose - CAP_PERFMON
-
-```yaml {5,6}
-services:
-  frigate:
-    ...
-    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
-    cap_add:
-      - CAP_PERFMON
-```
-
-##### Docker Run CLI - CAP_PERFMON
-
-```bash {4}
-docker run -d \
-  --name frigate \
-  ...
-  --cap-add=CAP_PERFMON \
-  ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
-```
-
-#### perf_event_paranoid
-
-_Note: This setting must be changed for the entire system._
-
-For more information on the various values across different distributions, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1400874/what-does-perf-paranoia-level-four-do.
-
-Depending on your OS and kernel configuration, you may need to change the `/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid` kernel tunable. You can test the change by running `sudo sh -c 'echo 2 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid'` which will persist until a reboot. Make it permanent by running `sudo sh -c 'echo kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2 >> /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf'`
-
-#### Stats for SR-IOV or other devices
-
-When using virtualized GPUs via SR-IOV, you need to specify the device path to use to gather stats from `intel_gpu_top`. This example may work for some systems using SR-IOV:
+If the host has more than one Intel GPU (e.g. an iGPU plus a discrete GPU, or SR-IOV virtual functions), pin stats collection to a specific device by setting `intel_gpu_device` to either its PCI bus address or a DRM card/render-node path:
 
 ```yaml
 telemetry:
   stats:
-    intel_gpu_device: "sriov"
+    intel_gpu_device: "0000:00:02.0"
 ```
 
-For other virtualized GPUs, try specifying the direct path to the device instead:
-
 ```yaml
 telemetry:
   stats:
-    intel_gpu_device: "drm:/dev/dri/card0"
+    intel_gpu_device: "/dev/dri/card1"
 ```
 
-If you are passing in a device path, make sure you've passed the device through to the container.
+When passing a device path, make sure the device is also passed through to the container.

-### Disabling cameras
+### Camera state
 
-Cameras can be temporarily disabled through the Frigate UI and through [MQTT](/integrations/mqtt#frigatecamera_nameenabledset) to conserve system resources. When disabled, Frigate's ffmpeg processes are terminated — recording stops, object detection is paused, and the Live dashboard displays a blank image with a disabled message. Review items, tracked objects, and historical footage for disabled cameras can still be accessed via the UI.
+Each camera has three possible states, surfaced as a status selector in **Settings → Global configuration → Camera management**:
 
-:::note
+- **On** — streams are processed normally. Object detection, recording, and Live view are active.
+- **Off** — Frigate's ffmpeg processes are paused. Recording stops, object detection is paused, and the Live dashboard displays a blank image with a "Camera is off" message. The camera is still visible in the Live dashboard and its past review items, tracked objects, and historical footage remain accessible via the UI. This state does **not** persist across Frigate restarts; the camera returns to On after a restart.
+- **Disabled** — the change is saved to your configuration file (`enabled: False`). The camera stops immediately, Frigate stops ffmpeg processes, and all live and historical UI elements for the camera are no longer visible but remains retained on disk. The camera is still listed in **Settings → Global configuration → Camera management** so it can be re-enabled. **A restart of Frigate is required to bring a disabled camera back to On.**
 
-Disabling a camera via the Frigate UI or MQTT is temporary and does not persist through restarts of Frigate.
+#### Turning a camera on or off
 
-:::
+Turning a camera off is temporary and does not require a restart. The available controls are:
 
-For restreamed cameras, go2rtc remains active but does not use system resources for decoding or processing unless there are active external consumers (such as the Advanced Camera Card in Home Assistant using a go2rtc source).
+- The power button in the single-camera Live view header
+- The right-click context menu on a camera tile on the Live dashboard
+- The Camera management settings pane (status set to **Off**)
+- The mobile settings drawer on the single-camera Live view (admin users only)
+- The [MQTT topic](/integrations/mqtt#frigatecamera_nameenabledset) `frigate/<camera_name>/enabled/set` with payload `ON` or `OFF`
+- The Home Assistant integration via the [`camera.turn_on` / `camera.turn_off` actions](/integrations/home-assistant#camera-api)
 
-Note that disabling a camera through the config file (`enabled: False`) removes all related UI elements, including historical footage access. To retain access while disabling the camera, keep it enabled in the config and use the UI or MQTT to disable it temporarily.
+#### Disabling a camera
+
+Disabling a camera saves the change to your configuration file. Navigate to **Settings → Global configuration → Camera management** and set the camera's status to **Disabled**. Runtime processing stops immediately; the change persists across restarts.
+
+Re-enabling a disabled camera requires a restart of Frigate so that the ffmpeg processes and other camera-scoped resources can be initialized. The UI will prompt you to restart when you switch a disabled camera back to On.
+
+#### Restream behavior
+
+For both Off and Disabled cameras, go2rtc remains active but does not use system resources for decoding or processing unless there are active external consumers (such as the Advanced Camera Card in Home Assistant using a go2rtc source).
+
+#### Choosing Off versus Disabled
+
+If you want a camera's historical data (review items, tracked objects, footage) to stay accessible in the UI while you stop processing, set the camera to **Off**. If you want the camera fully removed from the Live dashboard, review filters, and other UI surfaces, set it to **Disabled**. The Disabled state still keeps the camera in Camera management so it can be re-enabled later; if you want to remove all traces of a camera including its configuration, delete it via Camera management instead.

 #### Using a Custom Model
 
-To use your own model:
+To use your own custom model, first compile it into a [.dfp](https://developer.memryx.com/2p1/specs/files.html#dataflow-program) file, which is the format used by MemryX.
 
-1.  Package your compiled model into a `.zip` file.
+#### Compile the Model
 
-2.  The `.zip` must contain the compiled `.dfp` file.
+Custom models must be compiled using **MemryX SDK 2.1**.
 
-3.  Depending on the model, the compiler may also generate a cropped post-processing network. If present, it will be named with the suffix `_post.onnx`.
+Before compiling your model, install the MemryX Neural Compiler tools from the
+[Install Tools](https://developer.memryx.com/2p1/get_started/install_tools.html) page on the **host**.
 
-4.  Bind-mount the `.zip` file into the container and specify its path using `model.path` in your config.
+> **Note:** It is recommended to compile the model on the host machine, or on another separate machine, rather than inside the Frigate Docker container. Installing the compiler inside Docker may conflict with container packages. It is recommended to create a Python virtual environment and install the compiler there.
 
-5.  Update the `labelmap_path` to match your custom model's labels.
+Once the SDK 2.1 environment is set up, follow the
+[MemryX Compiler](https://developer.memryx.com/2p1/tools/neural_compiler.html#usage) documentation to compile your model.
 
-For detailed instructions on compiling models, refer to the [MemryX Compiler](https://developer.memryx.com/tools/neural_compiler.html#usage) docs and [Tutorials](https://developer.memryx.com/tutorials/tutorials.html).

+## FAQ
+
+### Can I define a zone or mask in a profile but not have it in the base config?
+
+No. Profiles are pure overrides. Every zone and mask defined under a profile must reference an entry that already exists on the base camera config. Configurations that introduce profile-only zones or masks are rejected at startup.
+
+If you want a zone or mask to be active only under a specific profile, define it on the base config with `enabled: false`, then enable it in that profile's overrides.
+
+### How do I revert a profile zone or mask override back to the base configuration?
+
+Delete the override. In the Frigate UI, edit the profile and use the "Revert override" action (the trash can icon) on the zone or mask. The base entry is left untouched, and once the override is removed the profile inherits the base values for that zone or mask.
+
+### Can multiple profiles be active at the same time?
+
+No. Only one profile can be active at a time. Activating a new profile automatically deactivates the current one.
+
+### What happens to my profile overrides if I delete a zone or mask from the base?
+
+When you delete a base zone or mask in the Frigate UI, any profile overrides for that entry are deleted automatically as part of the same operation. If you remove a base entry by editing your config file directly and leave a profile override behind, the config will fail validation at startup until the orphaned override is removed as well.
+
+### Why are some settings missing when I configure a profile override?
+
+Fields that require a Frigate restart to take effect cannot be overridden by profiles, since profiles are applied at runtime without restarting. Those fields are hidden when editing a profile override and can only be changed on the base configuration.

+## Reviewing Motion
+
+The Review page also can show periods of motion that didn't produce a tracked object, and provides a way to search past recordings for motion in a specific region. These tools complement the alerts and detections workflow above — see [Tuning Motion Detection](motion_detection.md) for how the underlying motion detector is configured.
+
+### Motion Previews
+
+The Motion Previews pane shows preview clips for periods of significant motion that did not produce a tracked object. It is useful for spotting things that motion detection picked up but object detection did not, which can help validate tuning or catch missed objects.
+
+On the <NavPath path="Review > Motion" /> page, click the 3-dots menu on a camera and choose **Motion Previews**. Each card represents a continuous range of motion-only activity and plays back the recorded preview for that range. A heatmap overlay dims areas of the frame with no motion so the moving regions stand out.
+
+The pane provides a few controls:
+
+- **Speed** — speeds up or slows down all of the preview clips at once.
+- **Dim** — controls how strongly non-motion areas are darkened by the heatmap overlay. Higher values increase motion area visibility.
+- **Filter** — opens a 16×16 grid overlaid on a snapshot of the camera. Select one or more cells to only show clips with motion in those regions. This is helpful for filtering out motion in areas like a busy street while keeping motion in your driveway.
+
+Clicking a preview clip seeks the recording player to that timestamp so you can review the full footage.
+
+### Motion Search
+
+Motion Search lets you scan recorded footage for changes inside a region of interest you draw on the camera. Unlike Motion Previews, which surfaces what Frigate's motion detector flagged in real time, Motion Search re-analyzes the saved recordings, so it can find changes that were missed (for example, an object that appeared while motion detection was paused by `lightning_threshold`, or in a region that is normally motion-masked).
+
+To start a search, click the 3-dots menu on a camera in the <NavPath path="Review > Motion" /> page and choose **Motion Search**. In the dialog:
+
+1. Pick the camera and time range to scan.
+2. Draw a polygon on the camera frame to define the region of interest.
+3. Adjust the search parameters if needed:

+| **Minimum Change Area**   | Minimum percentage of the region of interest that must change for a frame to be considered significant. Raise it to ignore small movements (leaves, distant motion); lower it when the object you care about only covers a small slice of the ROI.                                                             |
+| **Frame Skip**            | Number of frames to skip between samples — at a camera recording 20 fps, a skip value of 20 takes motion samples roughly once per second. Higher values scan much faster and are usually the right choice; lower it only when you need to catch the exact appearance or disappearance of a fast-moving object. |
+| **Maximum Results**       | Maximum number of matching timestamps to return.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| **Parallel mode**         | Process multiple recording segments in parallel. Speeds up large time ranges at the cost of higher CPU usage.                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
+
+Once running, Frigate scans the recording segments that overlap the time range and reports timestamps where changes were detected inside the polygon, along with the percentage of the ROI that changed. Clicking a result seeks the player to that moment so you can review what happened.
+
+The status panel shows live progress and metrics such as how many segments were scanned, how many were skipped because no motion was recorded for that segment (using the stored motion heatmap), how many frames were decoded, and the total wall-clock time. Segments with no recorded motion in the selected ROI are skipped automatically, which is what makes searching long time ranges practical.

 Debug Replay lets you re-run Frigate's detection pipeline against a section of recorded video without manually configuring a dummy camera.

 - The replay will not always produce identical results to the original run. Different frames may be selected on replay, which can change detections and tracking.
 - Motion detection depends on the exact frames used; small frame shifts can change motion regions and therefore what gets passed to the detector.
 - Object detection is not fully deterministic: models and post-processing can yield slightly different results across runs.
+- In cases where a detection is short and a replay may only be a small number of frames, it is recommended to manually add some padding before and after the detection so that the motion and object detectors have time to settle into the scene. Rather than starting Debug Replay from Explore, navigate to History for your camera, choose Debug Replay from the Actions menu, and click the "From Timeline" or "Custom" option.
 
 Treat the replay as a close approximation rather than an exact reproduction. Run multiple loops and examine the debug overlays and logs to understand the behavior.

-### Frigate hangs on startup with a "probing detect stream" message in the logs
+### Frigate is slow to start up with a "probing detect stream" message in the logs
 
-On startup, Frigate probes each camera's detect stream with OpenCV to auto-detect its resolution. OpenCV's FFmpeg backend may attempt RTSP over UDP during this probe regardless of the `-rtsp_transport tcp` in your `input_args` or preset. For cameras that do not respond to UDP (common on some Reolink models and others behind firewalls that block UDP), the probe can hang indefinitely and block Frigate from finishing startup, or it can return zeroed-out dimensions that show up as width `0` and height `0` in Camera Probe Info under System Metrics.
+When `detect.width` and `detect.height` are not set, Frigate probes each camera's detect stream on startup (and when saving the config) to auto-detect its resolution. For RTSP streams Frigate probes with ffprobe and automatically retries over TCP if UDP doesn't respond, with a 5 second timeout per attempt. A camera that cannot be reached over either transport will add up to ~10 seconds to startup before Frigate falls through with default dimensions, which may show up as width `0` and height `0` in Camera Probe Info under System Metrics.
 
-There are two ways to avoid this:
+To skip the probe entirely and make startup instant, set `detect.width` and `detect.height` explicitly in your camera config:
 
-1. Set `detect.width` and `detect.height` explicitly in your camera config. When both are set, Frigate skips the auto-detect probe entirely:

-       detect:
-         width: 1280
-         height: 720
-   ```
-
-2. Force OpenCV's FFmpeg backend to use TCP for RTSP by setting the environment variable on your Frigate container:
-
-   ```
-   OPENCV_FFMPEG_CAPTURE_OPTIONS=rtsp_transport;tcp
-   ```
-
-   This is a process-wide setting and applies to all cameras. If you have any cameras that require `preset-rtsp-udp`, use option 1 instead.

-Do not start your response with phrases like "I will check...", "Let me see...", or "Let me look...". Answer directly.

-Always present times to the user in the server's local timezone. When tool results include start_time_local and end_time_local, use those exact strings when listing or describing detection times—do not convert or invent timestamps. Do not use UTC or ISO format with Z for the user-facing answer unless the tool result only provides Unix timestamps without local time fields.
-When users ask about "today", "yesterday", "this week", etc., use the current date above as reference.
-When searching for objects or events, use ISO 8601 format for dates (e.g., {current_date_str}T00:00:00Z for the start of today).
-Always be accurate with time calculations based on the current date provided.
-
-When a user refers to a specific object they have seen or describe with identifying details ("that green car", "the person in the red jacket", "a package left today"), prefer the find_similar_objects tool over search_objects. Use search_objects first only to locate the anchor event, then pass its id to find_similar_objects. For generic queries like "show me all cars today", keep using search_objects. If a user message begins with [attached_event:<id>], treat that event id as the anchor for any similarity or "tell me more" request in the same message and call find_similar_objects with that id.{cameras_section}"""
