+<!--
+  Every new feature adds scope that maintainers must test, maintain, and support long-term.
+  We try to be thoughtful about what we take on, and sometimes that means saying no to

+# Contributing to Frigate
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Frigate. This document covers the expectations and guidelines for contributions. Please read it before submitting a pull request.
+
+## Before you start
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+If you've found a bug and want to fix it, go for it. Link to the relevant issue in your PR if one exists, or describe the bug in the PR description.
+
+### New features
+
+Every new feature adds scope that the maintainers must test, maintain, and support long-term. Before writing code for a new feature:
+
+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.
+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.
+
+## AI usage policy
+
+AI tools are a reality of modern development and we're not opposed to their use. But we need to understand your relationship with the code you're submitting. The more AI was involved, the more important it is that you've genuinely reviewed, tested, and understood what it produced.
+
+### Requirements when AI is used
+
+If AI is used to generate any portion of the code, contributors must adhere to the following requirements:
+
+1. **Explicitly disclose the manner in which AI was employed.** The PR template asks for this. Be honest — this won't automatically disqualify your PR. We'd rather have an honest disclosure than find out later. Trust matters more than method.
+2. **Perform a comprehensive manual review prior to submitting the pull request.** Don't submit code you haven't read carefully and tested locally.
+3. **Be prepared to explain every line of code they submitted when asked about it by a maintainer.** If you can't explain why something works the way it does, you're not ready to submit it.
+4. **It is strictly prohibited to use AI to write your posts for you** (bug reports, feature requests, pull request descriptions, GitHub discussions, responding to humans, etc.). We need to hear from _you_, not your AI assistant. These are the spaces where we build trust and understanding with contributors, and that only works if we're talking to each other.
+
+### Established contributors
+
+Contributors with a long history of thoughtful, quality contributions to Frigate have earned trust through that track record. The level of scrutiny we apply to AI usage naturally reflects that trust. This isn't a formal exemption — it's just how trust works. If you've been around, we know how you think and how you work. If you're new, we're still getting to know you, and clear disclosure helps build that relationship.
+
+### What this means in practice
+
+We're not trying to gatekeep how you write code. Use whatever tools make you productive. But there's a difference between using AI as a tool to implement something you understand and handing a feature request to an AI and submitting whatever comes back. The former is fine. The latter creates maintenance risk for the project.
+
+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.
+
+## Pull request guidelines
+
+### Before submitting
+
+- **Search for existing PRs** to avoid duplicating effort.
+- **Test your changes locally.** Your PR cannot be merged unless tests pass.
+- **Format your code.** Run `ruff format frigate` for Python and `npm run prettier:write` from the `web/` directory for frontend changes.
+- **Run the linter.** Run `ruff check frigate` for Python and `npm run lint` from `web/` for frontend.
+- **One concern per PR.** Don't combine unrelated changes. A bugfix and a new feature should be separate PRs.
+
+### What we look for in review
+
+- **Does it work?** Tested locally, tests pass, no regressions.
+- **Is it maintainable?** Clear code, appropriate complexity, good separation of concerns.
+- **Does it fit?** Consistent with Frigate's architecture and design philosophy.
+- **Is it scoped well?** Solves the stated problem without unnecessary additions.
+
+### After submitting
+
+- Be responsive to review feedback. We may ask for changes.
+- Expect honest, direct feedback. We try to be respectful but we also try to be efficient.
+- If your PR goes stale, rebase it on the latest `dev` branch.
+
+## Coding standards
+
+### Python (backend)
+
+- **Python** — use modern language features (type hints, pattern matching, f-strings, dataclasses)
+- **Formatting**: Ruff (configured in `pyproject.toml`)
+- **Linting**: Ruff
+- **Testing**: `python3 -u -m unittest`
+- **Logging**: Use module-level `logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)` with lazy formatting
+- **Async**: All external I/O must be async. No blocking calls in async functions.
+- **Error handling**: Use specific exception types. Keep try blocks minimal.
+- **Language**: American English for all code, comments, and documentation
+
+### TypeScript/React (frontend)
+
+- **Linting**: ESLint (`npm run lint` from `web/`)
+- **Formatting**: Prettier (`npm run prettier:write` from `web/`)
+- **Type safety**: TypeScript strict mode. Avoid `any`.
+- **i18n**: All user-facing strings must use `react-i18next`. Never hardcode display text in components. Add English strings to the appropriate files in `web/public/locales/en/`.
+- **Components**: Use Radix UI/shadcn primitives and TailwindCSS with the `cn()` utility.
+
+### Development commands
+
+```bash
+# Python
+python3 -u -m unittest                              # Run all tests
+python3 -u -m unittest frigate.test.test_ffmpeg_presets  # Run specific test
+ruff format frigate                                  # Format
+ruff check frigate                                   # Lint
+
+# Frontend (from web/ directory)
+npm run build                                        # Build
+npm run lint                                         # Lint
+npm run lint:fix                                     # Lint + fix

 ### Improving the Model
 
+:::tip Diversity matters far more than volume
+
+Selecting dozens of nearly identical images is one of the fastest ways to degrade model performance. MobileNetV2 can overfit quickly when trained on homogeneous data — the model learns what *that exact moment* looked like rather than what actually defines the class. **This is why Frigate does not implement bulk training in the UI.**
+
+For more detail, see [Frigate Tip: Best Practices for Training Face and Custom Classification Models](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/21374).
+
+:::
+
+- **Start small and iterate**: Begin with a small, representative set of images per class. Models often begin working well with surprisingly few examples and improve naturally over time.
+- **Favor hard examples**: When images appear in the Recent Classifications tab, prioritize images scoring below 90–100% or those captured under new lighting, weather, or distance conditions.
+- **Avoid bulk training similar images**: Training large batches of images that already score 100% (or close) adds little new information and increases the risk of overfitting.
+- **The wizard is just the starting point**: You don’t need to find and label every class upfront. Missing classes will naturally appear in Recent Classifications, and those images tend to be more valuable because they represent new conditions and edge cases.

 ### Improving the Model
 
+:::tip Diversity matters far more than volume
+
+Selecting dozens of nearly identical images is one of the fastest ways to degrade model performance. MobileNetV2 can overfit quickly when trained on homogeneous data — the model learns what *that exact moment* looked like rather than what actually defines the state. This often leads to models that work perfectly under the original conditions but become unstable when day turns to night, weather changes, or seasonal lighting shifts. **This is why Frigate does not implement bulk training in the UI.**
+
+For more detail, see [Frigate Tip: Best Practices for Training Face and Custom Classification Models](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/21374).
+
+:::
+
+- **Start small and iterate**: Begin with a small, representative set of images per class. Models often begin working well with surprisingly few examples and improve naturally over time.
 - **Problem framing**: Keep classes visually distinct and state-focused (e.g., `open`, `closed`, `unknown`). Avoid combining object identity with state in a single model unless necessary.
 - **Data collection**: Use the model's Recent Classifications tab to gather balanced examples across times of day and weather.
 - **When to train**: Focus on cases where the model is entirely incorrect or flips between states when it should not. There's no need to train additional images when the model is already working consistently.
-- **Selecting training images**: Images scoring below 100% due to new conditions (e.g., first snow of the year, seasonal changes) or variations (e.g., objects temporarily in view, insects at night) are good candidates for training, as they represent scenarios different from the default state. Training these lower-scoring images that differ from existing training data helps prevent overfitting. Avoid training large quantities of images that look very similar, especially if they already score 100% as this can lead to overfitting.
+- **Favor hard examples**: When images appear in the Recent Classifications tab, prioritize images scoring below 90–100% or those captured under new conditions (e.g., first snow of the year, seasonal changes, objects temporarily in view, insects at night). These represent scenarios different from the default state and help prevent overfitting.
+- **Avoid bulk training similar images**: Training large batches of images that already score 100% (or close) adds little new information and increases the risk of overfitting.
+- **The wizard is just the starting point**: You don't need to find and label every state upfront. Missing states will naturally appear in Recent Classifications, and those images tend to be more valuable because they represent new conditions and edge cases.

 When your browser runs into problems playing back your camera streams, it will log short error messages to the browser console. They indicate playback, codec, or network issues on the client/browser side, not something server side with Frigate itself. Below are the common messages you may see and simple actions you can take to try to resolve them.
 
 - **startup**
-
   - What it means: The player failed to initialize or connect to the live stream (network or startup error).
   - What to try: Reload the Live view or click _Reset_. Verify `go2rtc` is running and the camera stream is reachable. Try switching to a different stream from the Live UI dropdown (if available) or use a different browser.
 
   - Possible console messages from the player code:
-
     - `Error opening MediaSource.`
     - `Browser reported a network error.`
     - `Max error count ${errorCount} exceeded.` (the numeric value will vary)
 
 - **mse-decode**
-
   - What it means: The browser reported a decoding error while trying to play the stream, which usually is a result of a codec incompatibility or corrupted frames.
   - What to try: Check the browser console for the supported and negotiated codecs. Ensure your camera/restream is using H.264 video and AAC audio (these are the most compatible). If your camera uses a non-standard audio codec, configure `go2rtc` to transcode the stream to AAC. Try another browser (some browsers have stricter MSE/codec support) and, for iPhone, ensure you're on iOS 17.1 or newer.
 
   - Possible console messages from the player code:
-
     - `Safari cannot open MediaSource.`
     - `Safari reported InvalidStateError.`
     - `Safari reported decoding errors.`
 
 - **stalled**
-
   - What it means: Playback has stalled because the player has fallen too far behind live (extended buffering or no data arriving).
   - What to try: This is usually indicative of the browser struggling to decode too many high-resolution streams at once. Try selecting a lower-bandwidth stream (substream), reduce the number of live streams open, improve the network connection, or lower the camera resolution. Also check your camera's keyframe (I-frame) interval — shorter intervals make playback start and recover faster. You can also try increasing the timeout value in the UI pane of Frigate's settings.
 
   - Possible console messages from the player code:
-
     - `Buffer time (10 seconds) exceeded, browser may not be playing media correctly.`
     - `Media playback has stalled after <n> seconds due to insufficient buffering or a network interruption.` (the seconds value will vary)

    If you are using continuous streaming or you are loading more than a few high resolution streams at once on the dashboard, your browser may struggle to begin playback of your streams before the timeout. Frigate always prioritizes showing a live stream as quickly as possible, even if it is a lower quality jsmpeg stream. You can use the "Reset" link/button to try loading your high resolution stream again.
 
    Errors in stream playback (e.g., connection failures, codec issues, or buffering timeouts) that cause the fallback to low bandwidth mode (jsmpeg) are logged to the browser console for easier debugging. These errors may include:
-
    - Network issues (e.g., MSE or WebRTC network connection problems).
    - Unsupported codecs or stream formats (e.g., H.265 in WebRTC, which is not supported in some browsers).
    - Buffering timeouts or low bandwidth conditions causing fallback to jsmpeg.
    - Browser compatibility problems (e.g., iOS Safari limitations with MSE).
 
    To view browser console logs:
-
    1. Open the Frigate Live View in your browser.
    2. Open the browser's Developer Tools (F12 or right-click > Inspect > Console tab).
    3. Reproduce the error (e.g., load a problematic stream or simulate network issues).
    4. Look for messages prefixed with the camera name.
 
    These logs help identify if the issue is player-specific (MSE vs. WebRTC) or related to camera configuration (e.g., go2rtc streams, codecs). If you see frequent errors:
-
    - Verify your camera's H.264/AAC settings (see [Frigate's camera settings recommendations](#camera_settings_recommendations)).
    - Check go2rtc configuration for transcoding (e.g., audio to AAC/OPUS).
    - Test with a different stream via the UI dropdown (if `live -> streams` is configured).

    To prevent this, make the `detect` stream match the go2rtc live stream's aspect ratio (resolution does not need to match, just the aspect ratio).

 ## Frame Selection
 
-Frigate does not save every frame — it picks a single "best" frame for each tracked object and uses it for both the snapshot and clean copy. As the object is tracked across frames, Frigate continuously evaluates whether the current frame is better than the previous best based on detection confidence, object size, and the presence of key attributes like faces or license plates. Frames where the object touches the edge of the frame are deprioritized. The snapshot is written to disk once tracking ends using whichever frame was determined to be the best.

Frames where the object touches the edge of the frame are deprioritized. That best frame is written to disk once tracking ends.
 
 MQTT snapshots are published more frequently — each time a better thumbnail frame is found during tracking, or when the current best image is older than `best_image_timeout` (default: 60s). These use their own annotation settings configured under `cameras -> your_camera -> mqtt`.

-
-If you are not using Frigate+ and `timestamp`, `bounding_box`, and `crop` are all disabled, the regular snapshot is already effectively clean, so `clean_copy` provides no benefit and only uses additional disk space. You can safely set `clean_copy: False` in this case.

+
+AXERA accelerators are available in an M.2 form factor, compatible with both Raspberry Pi and Orange Pi. This form factor has also been successfully tested on x86 platforms, making it a versatile choice for various computing environments.
+
+#### Installation
+
+Using AXERA accelerators requires the installation of the AXCL driver. We provide a convenient Linux script to complete this installation.
+
+Follow these steps for installation:
+
+1. Copy or download [this script](https://github.com/ivanshi1108/assets/releases/download/v0.16.2/user_installation.sh).
+2. Ensure it has execution permissions with `sudo chmod +x user_installation.sh`
+3. Run the script with `./user_installation.sh`
+
+#### Setup
+
+To set up Frigate, follow the default installation instructions, for example: `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable`
+
+Next, grant Docker permissions to access your hardware by adding the following lines to your `docker-compose.yml` file:
+
+```yaml
+devices:
+  - /dev/axcl_host

Most modern CPUs (post-2011) support AVX and AVX2, but it is generally absent in low-power or budget-oriented processors, particularly older Intel Pentium, Celeron, and Atom-based chips.
