+# 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. 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.
+
+## 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

+## Translations
+
+Frigate uses [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/frigate-nvr/) for managing language translations. If you'd like to help translate Frigate into your language:
+
+1. Visit the [Frigate project on Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/frigate-nvr/).
+2. Create an account or log in.
+3. Browse the available languages and select the one you'd like to contribute to, or request a new language.
+4. Translate strings directly in the Weblate interface — no code changes or pull requests needed.
+
+Translation contributions through Weblate are automatically synced to the repository. Please do not submit pull requests for translation changes — use Weblate instead so that translations are properly tracked and coordinated.

 The audio detector uses volume levels in the same way that motion in a camera feed is used for object detection. This means that Frigate will not run audio detection unless the audio volume is above the configured level in order to reduce resource usage.

 ### Audio Transcription
 
-Frigate supports fully local audio transcription using either `sherpa-onnx` or OpenAI’s open-source Whisper models via `faster-whisper`. The goal of this feature is to support Semantic Search for `speech` audio events. Frigate is not intended to act as a continuous, fully-automatic speech transcription service — automatically transcribing all speech (or queuing many audio events for transcription) requires substantial CPU (or GPU) resources and is impractical on most systems. For this reason, transcriptions for events are initiated manually from the UI or the API rather than being run continuously in the background.

+
+:::info
+
+Audio transcription requires a one-time internet connection to download the Whisper or Sherpa-ONNX model on first use. Once cached, transcription runs fully offline. See [Network Requirements](/frigate/network_requirements#one-time-model-downloads) for details.
+
+:::
 
 Transcription accuracy also depends heavily on the quality of your camera's microphone and recording conditions. Many cameras use inexpensive microphones, and distance to the speaker, low audio bitrate, or background noise can significantly reduce transcription quality. If you need higher accuracy, more robust long-running queues, or large-scale automatic transcription, consider using the HTTP API in combination with an automation platform and a cloud transcription service.

 1. Why doesn't Frigate automatically transcribe all `speech` events?
 
-   Frigate does not implement a queue mechanism for speech transcription, and adding one is not trivial. A proper queue would need backpressure, prioritization, memory/disk buffering, retry logic, crash recovery, and safeguards to prevent unbounded growth when events outpace processing. That’s a significant amount of complexity for a feature that, in most real-world environments, would mostly just churn through low-value noise.
+   Frigate does not implement a queue mechanism for speech transcription, and adding one is not trivial.

That's a significant amount of complexity for a feature that, in most real-world environments, would mostly just churn through low-value noise.
 
    Because transcription is **serialized (one event at a time)** and speech events can be generated far faster than they can be processed, an auto-transcribe toggle would very quickly create an ever-growing backlog and degrade core functionality. For the amount of engineering and risk involved, it adds **very little practical value** for the majority of deployments, which are often on low-powered, edge hardware.
 
-   If you hear speech that’s actually important and worth saving/indexing for the future, **just press the transcribe button in Explore** on that specific `speech` event - that keeps things explicit, reliable, and under your control.
+   If you hear speech that's actually important and worth saving/indexing for the future, **just press the transcribe button in Explore** on that specific `speech` event - that keeps things explicit, reliable, and under your control.
 
    Other options are being considered for future versions of Frigate to add transcription options that support external `whisper` Docker containers. A single transcription service could then be shared by Frigate and other applications (for example, Home Assistant Voice), and run on more powerful machines when available.

-   There’s no guarantee that a `speech` event is even created from the exact audio that went through the transcription model. Live transcription and `speech` event creation are **separate, asynchronous processes**. Even when both are correctly configured, trying to align the **precise start and end time of a speech event** with whatever audio the model happened to be processing at that moment is unreliable.

 # Authentication
 
 Frigate stores user information in its database. Password hashes are generated using industry standard PBKDF2-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations. Upon successful login, a JWT token is issued with an expiration date and set as a cookie. The cookie is refreshed as needed automatically. This JWT token can also be passed in the Authorization header as a bearer token.

 ## Calibration
 
 PTZ motors operate at different speeds. Performing a calibration will direct Frigate to measure this speed over a variety of movements and use those measurements to better predict the amount of movement necessary to keep autotracked objects in the center of the frame.
 
 Calibration is optional, but will greatly assist Frigate in autotracking objects that move across the camera's field of view more quickly.
 
-To begin calibration, set the `calibrate_on_startup` for your camera to `True` and restart Frigate. Frigate will then make a series of small and large movements with your camera. Don't move the PTZ manually while calibration is in progress. Once complete, camera motion will stop and your config file will be automatically updated with a `movement_weights` parameter to be used in movement calculations. You should not modify this parameter manually.

 Face recognition identifies known individuals by matching detected faces with previously learned facial data. When a known `person` is recognized, their name will be added as a `sub_label`. This information is included in the UI, filters, as well as in notifications.

 Generative AI can be used to automatically generate descriptive text based on the thumbnails of your tracked objects. This helps with [Semantic Search](/configuration/semantic_search) in Frigate to provide more context about your tracked objects. Descriptions are accessed via the _Explore_ view in the Frigate UI by clicking on a tracked object's thumbnail.
 
 Requests for a description are sent off automatically to your AI provider at the end of the tracked object's lifecycle, or can optionally be sent earlier after a number of significantly changed frames, for example in use in more real-time notifications. Descriptions can also be regenerated manually via the Frigate UI. Note that if you are manually entering a description for tracked objects prior to its end, this will be overwritten by the generated response.

 ## Usage and Best Practices
 
-Frigate's thumbnail search excels at identifying specific details about tracked objects – for example, using an "image caption" approach to find a "person wearing a yellow vest," "a white dog running across the lawn," or "a red car on a residential street." To enhance this further, Frigate’s default prompts are designed to ask your AI provider about the intent behind the object's actions, rather than just describing its appearance.

-While generating simple descriptions of detected objects is useful, understanding intent provides a deeper layer of insight. Instead of just recognizing "what" is in a scene, Frigate’s default prompts aim to infer "why" it might be there or "what" it could do next. Descriptions tell you what’s happening, but intent gives context. For instance, a person walking toward a door might seem like a visitor, but if they’re moving quickly after hours, you can infer a potential break-in attempt. Detecting a person loitering near a door at night can trigger an alert sooner than simply noting "a person standing by the door," helping you respond based on the situation’s context.

NVIDIA provides a [matrix of supported GPUs and features](https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new). If your card is on the list and supports CUVID/NVDEC, it will most likely work with Frigate for decoding. However, you must also use [a driver version that will work with FFmpeg](https://github.com/FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers/blob/master/README). Older driver versions may be missing symbols and fail to work, and older cards are not supported by newer driver versions. The only way around this is to [provide your own FFmpeg](/configuration/advanced#custom-ffmpeg-build) that will work with your driver version, but this is unsupported and may not work well if at all.

 Frigate can recognize license plates on vehicles and automatically add the detected characters to the `recognized_license_plate` field or a [known](#matching) name as a `sub_label` to tracked objects of type `car` or `motorcycle`. A common use case may be to read the license plates of cars pulling into a driveway or cars passing by on a street.
 
 LPR works best when the license plate is clearly visible to the camera. For moving vehicles, Frigate continuously refines the recognition process, keeping the most confident result. When a vehicle becomes stationary, LPR continues to run for a short time after to attempt recognition.

+License plate recognition requires a one-time internet connection to download OCR and detection models from GitHub. Once cached, models work fully offline. See [Network Requirements](/frigate/network_requirements#one-time-model-downloads) for details.

 For non-dedicated LPR cameras, ensure that your camera is configured to detect objects of type `car` or `motorcycle`, and that a car or motorcycle is actually being detected by Frigate. Otherwise, LPR will not run.
 
 Like the other real-time processors in Frigate, license plate recognition runs on the camera stream defined by the `detect` role in your config. To ensure optimal performance, select a suitable resolution for this stream in your camera's firmware that fits your specific scene and requirements.
 
 ## Advanced Configuration

+- **Detection threshold**: License plate object detection confidence score required before recognition runs. This field only applies to the standalone license plate detection model; `threshold` and `min_score` object filters should be used for models like Frigate+ that have license plate detection built in.
   - Default: `0.7`
-  - Note: This is field only applies to the standalone license plate detection model, `threshold` and `min_score` object filters should be used for models like Frigate+ that have license plate detection built in.
-- **`min_area`**: Defines the minimum area (in pixels) a license plate must be before recognition runs.
-  - Default: `1000` pixels. Note: this is intentionally set very low as it is an _area_ measurement (length x width). For reference, 1000 pixels represents a ~32x32 pixel square in your camera image.
-  - Depending on the resolution of your camera's `detect` stream, you can increase this value to ignore small or distant plates.
-- **`device`**: Device to use to run license plate detection _and_ recognition models.

+Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Enrichments > License plate recognition" />.
+
+- **Enhancement level**: A value between 0 and 10 that adjusts the level of image enhancement applied to captured license plates before they are processed for recognition. Higher values increase contrast, sharpen details, and reduce noise, but excessive enhancement can blur or distort characters. This setting is best adjusted at the camera level if running LPR on multiple cameras.
   - Default: `0` (no enhancement)
-  - Higher values increase contrast, sharpen details, and reduce noise, but excessive enhancement can blur or distort characters, actually making them much harder for Frigate to recognize.
-  - This setting is best adjusted at the camera level if running LPR on multiple cameras.
-  - If Frigate is already recognizing plates correctly, leave this setting at the default of `0`. However, if you're experiencing frequent character issues or incomplete plates and you can already easily read the plates yourself, try increasing the value gradually, starting at 5 and adjusting as needed. You should see how different enhancement levels affect your plates. Use the `debug_save_plates` configuration option (see below).

 ### Normalization Rules
 
-- **`replace_rules`**: List of regex replacement rules to normalize detected plates. These rules are applied sequentially and are applied _before_ the `format` regex, if specified. Each rule must have a `pattern` (which can be a string or a regex) and `replacement` (a string, which also supports [backrefs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.sub) like `\1`). These rules are useful for dealing with common OCR issues like noise characters, separators, or confusions (e.g., 'O'→'0').

 1. Start with a simplified LPR config.
-
    - Remove or comment out everything in your LPR config, including `min_area`, `min_plate_length`, `format`, `known_plates`, or `enhancement` values so that the only values left are `enabled` and `debug_save_plates`. This will run LPR with Frigate's default values.

 2. Enable debug logs to see exactly what Frigate is doing.
-
    - Enable debug logs for LPR by adding `frigate.data_processing.common.license_plate: debug` to your `logger` configuration. These logs are _very_ verbose, so only keep this enabled when necessary. Restart Frigate after this change.
 
      ```yaml
      logger:
        default: info
        logs:
+         # highlight-next-line
          frigate.data_processing.common.license_plate: debug
      ```
 
 3. Ensure your plates are being _detected_.
 
    If you are using a Frigate+ or `license_plate` detecting model:
-
    - Watch the debug view (Settings --> Debug) to ensure that `license_plate` is being detected.
    - View MQTT messages for `frigate/events` to verify detected plates.
    - You may need to adjust your `min_score` and/or `threshold` for the `license_plate` object if your plates are not being detected.
 
    If you are **not** using a Frigate+ or `license_plate` detecting model:
-
    - Watch the debug logs for messages from the YOLOv9 plate detector.
    - You may need to adjust your `detection_threshold` if your plates are not being detected.
 
 4. Ensure the characters on detected plates are being _recognized_.
-
    - Enable `debug_save_plates` to save images of detected text on plates to the clips directory (`/media/frigate/clips/lpr`). Ensure these images are readable and the text is clear.
    - Watch the debug view to see plates recognized in real-time. For non-dedicated LPR cameras, the `car` or `motorcycle` label will change to the recognized plate when LPR is enabled and working.
    - Adjust `recognition_threshold` settings per the suggestions [above](#advanced-configuration).

 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:

 ## Motion masks
 
 Motion masks are used to prevent unwanted types of motion from triggering detection. Try watching the Debug feed (Settings --> Debug) with `Motion Boxes` enabled to see what may be regularly detected as motion. For example, you want to mask out your timestamp, the sky, rooftops, etc. Keep in mind that this mask only prevents motion from being detected and does not prevent objects from being detected if object detection was started due to motion in unmasked areas. Motion is also used during object tracking to refine the object detection area in the next frame. _Over-masking will make it more difficult for objects to be tracked._

 Lower values mean motion detection is more sensitive to changes in color, making it more likely for example to detect motion when a brown dogs blends in with a brown fence or a person wearing a red shirt blends in with a red car. If the threshold is too low however, it may detect things like grass blowing in the wind, shadows, etc. to be detected as motion.

Higher values are less sensitive meaning these things won't be detected as motion but with the risk that desired motion won't be detected until closer to the camera.

 Large changes in motion like PTZ moves and camera switches between Color and IR mode should result in a pause in object detection. `lightning_threshold` defines the percentage of the image used to detect these substantial changes. Increasing this value makes motion detection more likely to treat large changes (like IR mode switches) as valid motion. Decreasing it makes motion detection more likely to ignore large amounts of motion, such as a person approaching a doorbell camera.
 
 Note that `lightning_threshold` does **not** stop motion-based recordings from being saved — it only prevents additional motion analysis after the threshold is exceeded, reducing false positive object detections during high-motion periods (e.g. storms or PTZ sweeps) without interfering with recordings.

 There are several types of object filters that can be used to reduce false positive rates.

 In frame 2, the score is below the `min_score` value, so Frigate ignores it and it becomes a 0.0. The computed score is the median of the score history (padding to at least 3 values), and only when that computed score crosses the `threshold` is the object marked as a true positive. That happens in frame 4 in the example.
 
+The **top score** is the highest computed score the tracked object has ever reached during its lifetime. Because the computed score rises and falls as new frames come in, the top score can be thought of as the peak confidence Frigate had in the object. In Frigate's UI (such as the Tracking Details pane in Explore), you may see all three values:
+
+- **Score** — the raw detector score for that single frame.
+- **Computed Score** — the median of the most recent score history at that moment. This is the value compared against `threshold`.
+- **Top Score** — the highest computed score reached so far for the tracked object.
+
 ### Minimum Score
 
 Any detection below `min_score` will be immediately thrown out and never tracked because it is considered a false positive. If `min_score` is too low then false positives may be detected and tracked which can confuse the object tracker and may lead to wasted resources. If `min_score` is too high then lower scoring true positives like objects that are further away or partially occluded may be thrown out which can also confuse the tracker and cause valid tracked objects to be lost or disjointed.

 `threshold` is used to determine that the object is a true positive. Once an object is detected with a score >= `threshold` object is considered a true positive. If `threshold` is too low then some higher scoring false positives may create an tracked object. If `threshold` is too high then true positive tracked objects may be missed due to the object never scoring high enough.

+Profiles allow you to define named sets of camera configuration overrides that can be activated and deactivated at runtime without restarting Frigate. This is useful for scenarios like switching between "Home" and "Away" modes, daytime and nighttime configurations, or any situation where you want to quickly change how multiple cameras behave.
+
+## How Profiles Work
+
+Profiles operate as a two-level system:
+
+1. **Profile definitions** are declared at the top level of your config under `profiles`. Each definition has a machine name (the key) and a `friendly_name` for display in the UI.
+2. **Camera profile overrides** are declared under each camera's `profiles` section, keyed by the profile name. Only the settings you want to change need to be specified — everything else is inherited from the camera's base configuration.
+
+When a profile is activated, Frigate merges each camera's profile overrides on top of its base config. When the profile is deactivated, all cameras revert to their original settings. Only one profile can be active at a time.
+
+:::info
+
+Profile changes are applied in-memory and take effect immediately — no restart is required. The active profile is persisted across Frigate restarts (stored in the `/config/.profiles` file).
+
+:::
+
+## Configuration
+
+The easiest way to define profiles is to use the Frigate UI. Profiles can also be configured manually in your configuration file.
+
+### Creating and Managing Profiles
+
+<ConfigTabs>
+<TabItem value="ui">
+
+1. **Create a profile** — Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Camera configuration > Profiles" />. Click the **Add Profile** button, enter a name (and optionally a profile ID).
+2. **Configure overrides** — Navigate to a camera configuration section (e.g. Motion detection, Record, Notifications). In the top right, two buttons will appear - choose a camera and a profile from the profile selector to edit overrides for that camera and section. Only the fields you change will be stored as overrides — fields that require a restart are hidden since profiles are applied at runtime. You can click the **Remove Profile Override** button to clear overrides.
+3. **Activate a profile** — Use the **Profiles** option in Frigate's main menu to choose a profile. Alternatively, in Settings, navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Camera configuration > Profiles" />, then choose a profile in the Active Profile dropdown to activate it. The active profile is also shown in the status bar at the bottom of the screen on desktop browsers.
+4. **Delete a profile** — Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Camera configuration > Profiles" />, then click the trash icon for a profile. This removes the profile definition and all camera overrides associated with it.
+
+</TabItem>
+<TabItem value="yaml">
+
+First, define your profiles at the top level of your Frigate config. Every profile name referenced by a camera must be defined here.
+
+```yaml
+profiles:
+  home:
+    friendly_name: Home
+  away:
+    friendly_name: Away
+  night:
+    friendly_name: Night Mode

+
+Under each camera, add a `profiles` section with overrides for each profile. You only need to include the settings you want to change.

+
+Only the fields you explicitly set in a profile override are applied. All other fields retain their base configuration values.

+## Example: Home / Away Setup
+
+A common use case is having different detection and notification settings based on whether you are home or away. This example below is for a system with two cameras, `front_door` and `indoor_cam`.
+
+<ConfigTabs>
+<TabItem value="ui">
+
+1. Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Camera configuration > Profiles" /> and create two profiles: **Home** and **Away**.
+2. From to the Camera configuration section in Settings, choose the **front_door** camera, and select the **Away** profile from the profile dropdown. Then, enable notifications from the Notifications pane, and set alert labels to `person` and `car` from the Review pane. Then, from the profile dropdown choose **Home** profile, then navigate to Notifications to disable notifications.
+3. For the **indoor_cam** camera, perform similar steps - configure the **Away** profile to enable the camera, detection, and recording. Configure the **Home** profile to disable the camera entirely for privacy.
+4. Activate the desired profile from <NavPath path="Settings > Camera configuration > Profiles" /> or from the **Profiles** option in Frigate's main menu.

+- **Default**: 5 seconds for both pre and post capture.
+- **Pre-capture maximum**: 60 seconds.
+- These settings apply per review category (alerts and detections), not per object type.
+
+### How pre/post capture interacts with retention mode
+
+The `pre_capture` and `post_capture` values define the **time window** around a review item, but only recording segments that also match the configured **retention mode** are actually kept on disk.
+
+- **`mode: all`** — Retains every segment within the capture window, regardless of whether motion was detected.
+- **`mode: motion`** (default) — Only retains segments within the capture window that contain motion. This includes segments with active tracked objects, since object motion implies motion. Segments without any motion are discarded even if they fall within the pre/post capture range.
+- **`mode: active_objects`** — Only retains segments within the capture window where tracked objects were actively moving. Segments with general motion but no active objects are discarded.
+
+This means that with the default `motion` mode, you may see less footage than the configured pre/post capture duration if parts of the capture window had no motion.
+
+To guarantee the full pre/post capture duration is always retained:
+
+```yaml
+record:
+  enabled: True
+  alerts:
+    pre_capture: 10
+    post_capture: 10
+    retain:
+      days: 30
+      mode: all # retains all segments within the capture window
+```
+
+:::note
+
+Because recording segments are written in 10 second chunks, pre-capture timing depends on segment boundaries. The actual pre-capture footage may be slightly shorter or longer than the exact configured value.
+
+:::
+
+### Where to view pre/post capture footage
+
+Pre and post capture footage is included in the **recording timeline**, visible in the History view. Note that pre/post capture settings only affect which recording segments are **retained on disk** — they do not change the start and end points shown in the UI. The History view will still center on the review item's actual time range, but you can scrub backward and forward through the retained pre/post capture footage on the timeline. The Explore view shows object-specific clips that are trimmed to when the tracked object was actually visible, so pre/post capture time will not be reflected there.

-### Time-lapse export
+### Custom export with FFmpeg arguments
 
-Time lapse exporting is available only via the [HTTP API](../integrations/api/export-recording-export-camera-name-start-start-time-end-end-time-post.api.mdx).
+For advanced use cases, the [custom export HTTP API](../integrations/api/export-recording-custom-export-custom-camera-name-start-start-time-end-end-time-post.api.mdx) lets you pass custom FFmpeg arguments when exporting a recording:
 
-When exporting a time-lapse the default speed-up is 25x with 30 FPS. This means that every 25 seconds of (real-time) recording is condensed into 1 second of time-lapse video (always without audio) with a smoothness of 30 FPS.
-
-To configure the speed-up factor, the frame rate and further custom settings, the configuration parameter `timelapse_args` can be used. The below configuration example would change the time-lapse speed to 60x (for fitting 1 hour of recording into 1 minute of time-lapse) with 25 FPS:
-
-```yaml
-record:
-  enabled: True
-  export:
-    timelapse_args: "-vf setpts=PTS/60 -r 25"
+```
+POST /export/custom/{camera_name}/start/{start_time}/end/{end_time}
 ```
 
-:::tip
+The request body accepts `ffmpeg_input_args` and `ffmpeg_output_args` to control encoding, frame rate, filters, and other FFmpeg options. If neither is provided, Frigate defaults to time-lapse output settings (25x speed, 30 FPS).
 
-When using `hwaccel_args`, hardware encoding is used for timelapse generation. This setting can be overridden for a specific camera (e.g., when camera resolution exceeds hardware encoder limits); set `cameras.<camera>.record.export.hwaccel_args` with the appropriate settings. Using an unrecognized value or empty string will fall back to software encoding (libx264).
+The following example exports a time-lapse at 60x speed with 25 FPS:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Front Door Time-lapse",
+  "ffmpeg_output_args": "-vf setpts=PTS/60 -r 25"
+}
+```
+
+#### CPU fallback
+
+If hardware acceleration is configured and the export fails (e.g., the GPU is unavailable), set `cpu_fallback: true` in the request body to automatically retry using software encoding.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "My Export",
+  "ffmpeg_output_args": "-c:v libx264 -crf 23",
+  "cpu_fallback": true
+}
+```
+
+:::note
+
+Non-admin users are restricted from using FFmpeg arguments that can access the filesystem (e.g., `-filter_complex`, file paths, and protocol references). Admin users have full control over FFmpeg arguments.

-The encoder determines its own behavior so the resulting file size may be undesirably large.
-To reduce the output file size the ffmpeg parameter `-qp n` can be utilized (where `n` stands for the value of the quantisation parameter). The value can be adjusted to get an acceptable tradeoff between quality and file size for the given scenario.
+When `hwaccel_args` is configured, hardware encoding is used for exports.

 Semantic Search in Frigate allows you to find tracked objects within your review items using either the image itself, a user-defined text description, or an automatically generated one. This feature works by creating _embeddings_ — numerical vector representations — for both the images and text descriptions of your tracked objects. By comparing these embeddings, Frigate assesses their similarities to deliver relevant search results.
 
 Frigate uses models from [Jina AI](https://huggingface.co/jinaai) to create and save embeddings to Frigate's database. All of this runs locally.
 
 Semantic Search is accessed via the _Explore_ view in the Frigate UI.
 
+:::info
+
+Semantic search requires a one-time internet connection to download embedding models from HuggingFace. Once cached, models work fully offline. See [Network Requirements](/frigate/network_requirements#one-time-model-downloads) for details.
+
+:::
+
 ## Minimum System Requirements
 
 Semantic Search works by running a large AI model locally on your system. Small or underpowered systems like a Raspberry Pi will not run Semantic Search reliably or at all.
 
-A minimum of 8GB of RAM is required to use Semantic Search. A GPU is not strictly required but will provide a significant performance increase over CPU-only systems.
+A minimum of 8GB of RAM is required to use Semantic Search. A CPU with AVX + AVX2 instructions is required to run Semantic Search. A GPU is not strictly required but will provide a significant performance increase over CPU-only systems.

-Text-to-image triggers are not supported due to fundamental limitations of CLIP-based similarity search. While CLIP works well for exploratory, manual queries, it is unreliable for automated triggers based on a threshold. Issues include embedding drift (the same text–image pair can yield different cosine distances over time), lack of true semantic grounding (visually similar but incorrect matches), and unstable thresholding (distance distributions are dataset-dependent and often too tightly clustered to separate relevant from irrelevant results). Instead, it is recommended to set up a workflow with thumbnail triggers: first use text search to manually select 3–5 representative reference tracked objects, then configure thumbnail triggers based on that visual similarity.

 ## 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.

-MQTT snapshots are configured separately under `cameras -> your_camera -> mqtt` and are unrelated to the clean copy.
-
-The clean copy is required for submitting events to [Frigate+](/plus/first_model) — if you plan to use Frigate+, keep `clean_copy` enabled regardless of your other snapshot settings.
-
-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.

 # Stationary Objects

+
 An object is considered stationary when it is being tracked and has been in a very similar position for a certain number of frames. This number is defined in the configuration under `detect -> stationary -> threshold`, and is 10x the frame rate (or 10 seconds) by default. Once an object is considered stationary, it will remain stationary until motion occurs within the object at which point object detection will start running again. If the object changes location, it will be considered active.
 
 ## Why does it matter if an object is stationary?
 
-Once an object becomes stationary, object detection will not be continually run on that object. This serves to reduce resource usage and redundant detections when there has been no motion near the tracked object. This also means that Frigate is contextually aware, and can for example [filter out recording segments](record.md#what-do-the-different-retain-modes-mean) to only when the object is considered active. Motion alone does not determine if an object is "active" for active_objects segment retention. Lighting changes for a parked car won't make an object active.

 # TLS
 
 Frigate's integrated NGINX server supports TLS certificates. By default Frigate will generate a self signed certificate that will be used for port 8971. Frigate is designed to make it easy to use whatever tool you prefer to manage certificates.
 
 Frigate is often running behind a reverse proxy that manages TLS certificates for multiple services. You will likely need to set your reverse proxy to allow self signed certificates or you can disable TLS in Frigate's config. However, if you are running on a dedicated device that's separate from your proxy or if you expose Frigate directly to the internet, you may want to configure TLS with valid certificates.
 
-In many deployments, TLS will be unnecessary. It can be disabled in the config with the following yaml:

+# Network Requirements
+
+Frigate is designed to run locally and does not require a persistent internet connection for core functionality. However, certain features need internet access for initial setup or ongoing operation. This page describes what connects to the internet, when, and how to control it.
+
+## How Frigate Uses the Internet
+
+Frigate's internet usage falls into three categories:
+
+1. **One-time model downloads** — ML models are downloaded the first time a feature is enabled, then cached locally. No internet is needed on subsequent startups.
+2. **Optional cloud services** — Features like Frigate+ and Generative AI connect to external APIs only when explicitly configured.
+3. **Build-time dependencies** — Components bundled into the Docker image during the build process. These require no internet at runtime.
+
+:::tip
+
+After initial setup, Frigate can run fully offline as long as all required models have been downloaded and no cloud-dependent features are enabled.
+
+:::
+
+## One-Time Model Downloads
+
+The following models are downloaded automatically the first time their associated feature is enabled. Once cached in `/config/model_cache/`, they do not require internet again.

+
+### Preventing Model Downloads
+
+If you have already downloaded all required models and want to prevent Frigate from attempting any outbound connections to HuggingFace or the Transformers library, set the following environment variables on your Frigate container:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  HF_HUB_OFFLINE: "1"
+  TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE: "1"
+```
+
+:::warning
+
+Setting these variables without having the correct model files already cached in `/config/model_cache/` will cause failures. Only use these after a successful initial setup with internet access.
+
+:::
+
+### Mirror Support
+
+If your Frigate instance has restricted internet access, you can point model downloads at internal mirrors using environment variables:
+
+| Environment Variable                | Default                             | Used By                                       |

+
+## Optional Cloud Services
+
+These features connect to external services during normal operation and require internet whenever they are active.
+
+### Frigate+
+
+When a Frigate+ API key is configured, Frigate communicates with `https://api.frigate.video` to download models, upload snapshots for training, submit annotations, and report false positives. Remove the API key to disable all Frigate+ network activity.
+
+See [Frigate+](/integrations/plus) for details.
+
+### Generative AI
+
+When a Generative AI provider is configured, Frigate sends images and prompts to the configured provider for event descriptions, chat, and camera monitoring. Available providers:
+
+| Provider      | Internet Required                                                |
+| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| OpenAI        | Yes — connects to OpenAI API (or custom base URL)                |
+| Google Gemini | Yes — connects to Google Generative AI API                       |
+| Azure OpenAI  | Yes — connects to your Azure endpoint                            |
+| Ollama        | Depends — typically local (`localhost:11434`), but can be remote |
+| llama.cpp     | No — runs entirely locally                                       |
+
+Disable Generative AI by removing the `genai` configuration from your cameras. See [Generative AI](/configuration/genai/genai_config) for details.
+
+### Version Check
+
+Frigate checks GitHub for the latest release version on startup by querying `https://api.github.com`. This can be disabled:
+
+```yaml
+telemetry:
+  version_check: false
+```
+
+### Push Notifications
+
+When [notifications](/configuration/notifications) are enabled and users have registered for push notifications in the web UI, Frigate sends push messages through the browser vendor's push service (e.g., Google FCM, Mozilla autopush). This requires internet access from the Frigate server to these push endpoints.
+
+### MQTT
+
+If an [MQTT broker](/integrations/mqtt) is configured, Frigate maintains a connection to the broker's host and port. This is typically a local network connection, but will require internet if you use a cloud-hosted MQTT broker.
+
+### DeepStack / CodeProject.AI
+
+When using the [DeepStack detector plugin](/configuration/object_detectors), Frigate sends images to the configured API endpoint for inference. This is typically local but depends on where the service is hosted.
+
+## WebRTC (STUN)
+
+For [WebRTC live streaming](/configuration/live), Frigate uses STUN for NAT traversal:
+
+- **go2rtc** defaults to a local STUN listener (`stun:8555`) — no internet required.
+- **The web UI's WebRTC player** includes a fallback to Google's public STUN server (`stun:stun.l.google.com:19302`), which requires internet.
+
+## Home Assistant Supervisor
+
+When running as a Home Assistant add-on, the go2rtc startup script queries the local Supervisor API (`http://supervisor/`) to discover the host IP address and WebRTC port. This is a local network call to the Home Assistant host, not an internet connection.
+
+## What Does NOT Require Internet
+
+- **Object detection** — CPU, EdgeTPU, OpenVINO, and other bundled detector models are included in the Docker image.
+- **Recording and playback** — All video is stored and served locally.
+- **Live streaming** — Camera streams are pulled over your local network. MSE and HLS streaming work without any external connections.
+- **The web interface** — Fully self-contained with no external fonts, scripts, analytics, or CDN dependencies. All translations are bundled locally.
+- **Custom classification inference** — After training, custom models run entirely locally.
+- **Audio detection** — The YAMNet audio classification model is bundled in the Docker image.
+
+## Running Frigate Offline
+
+To run Frigate in an air-gapped or offline environment:
+
+1. **Pre-download models** — Start Frigate with internet access once with all desired features enabled. Models will be cached in `/config/model_cache/`.
+2. **Disable version check** — Set `telemetry.version_check: false` in your configuration.
+3. **Block outbound model requests** — Set the `HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1` and `TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE=1` environment variables to prevent HuggingFace and Transformers from attempting any network requests.
+4. **Avoid cloud features** — Do not configure Frigate+, Generative AI providers that require internet, or cloud MQTT brokers.
+5. **Use local model mirrors** — If limited internet is available, set the `HF_ENDPOINT`, `GITHUB_ENDPOINT`, and `GITHUB_RAW_ENDPOINT` environment variables to point to local mirrors.
+
+After these steps, Frigate will operate with no outbound internet connections.

+
+Frigate requires a CPU with AVX + AVX2 instructions. 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.

 TCP ensures that all data packets arrive in the correct order. This is crucial for video recording, decoding, and stream processing, which is why Frigate enforces a TCP connection. UDP is faster but less reliable, as it does not guarantee packet delivery or order, and VLC does not have the same requirements as Frigate.

+
+### Frigate is slow to start up with a "probing detect stream" message in the logs
+
+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.
+
+To skip the probe entirely and make startup instant, set `detect.width` and `detect.height` explicitly in your camera config:

 If the storage is working quickly then this error may be caused by CPU load on the machine being too high for Frigate to have the resources to keep up. Try temporarily shutting down other services to see if the issue improves.
+
+## I see the message: WARNING : Too many unprocessed recording segments in cache for camera. This likely indicates an issue with the detect stream...
+
+This warning means that the detect stream for the affected camera has fallen behind or stopped processing frames. Frigate's recording cache holds segments waiting to be analyzed by the detector — when more than 6 segments pile up without being processed, Frigate discards the oldest ones to prevent the cache from filling up.
+
+:::warning
+
+This error is a **symptom**, not the root cause. The actual cause is always logged **before** these messages start appearing. You must review the full logs from Frigate startup through the first occurrence of this warning to identify the real issue.
+
+:::
+
+### Step 1: Get the full logs
+
+Collect complete Frigate logs from startup through the first occurrence of the error. Look for errors or warnings that appear **before** the "Too many unprocessed" messages begin — that is where the root cause will be found.
+
+### Step 2: Check the cache directory
+
+Exec into the Frigate container and inspect the recording cache:
+
+```
+docker exec -it frigate ls -la /tmp/cache
+```
+
+Each camera should have a small number of `.mp4` segment files. If one camera has significantly more files than others, that camera is the source of the problem. A problem with a single camera can cascade and cause all cameras to show this error.
+
+### Step 3: Verify segment duration
+
+Recording segments should be approximately 10 seconds long. Run `ffprobe` on segments in the cache to check:
+
+```
+docker exec -it frigate ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1 /tmp/cache/<camera>@<segment>.mp4
+```
+
+If segments are only ~1 second instead of ~10 seconds, the camera is sending corrupt timestamp data, causing segments to be split too frequently and filling the cache 10x faster than expected.
+
+**Common causes of short segments:**
+
+- **"Smart Codec" or "Smart+" enabled on the camera** — These features dynamically change encoding parameters mid-stream, which corrupts timestamps. Disable them in your camera's settings.
+- **Changing codec, bitrate, or resolution mid-stream** — Any encoding changes during an active stream can cause unpredictable segment splitting.
+- **Camera firmware bugs** — Check for firmware updates from your camera manufacturer.
+
+### Step 4: Check for a stuck detector
+
+If the detect stream is not processing frames, segments will accumulate. Common causes:
+
+- **Detection resolution too high** — Use a substream for detection, not the full resolution main stream.
+- **Detection FPS too high** — 5 fps is the recommended maximum for detection.
+- **Model too large** — Use smaller model variants (e.g., YOLO `s` or `t` size, not `e` or `x`). Use 320x320 input size rather than 640x640 unless you have a powerful dedicated detector.
+- **Virtualization** — Running Frigate in a VM (especially Proxmox) can cause the detector to hang or stall. This is a known issue with GPU/TPU passthrough in virtualized environments and is not something Frigate can fix. Running Frigate in Docker on bare metal is recommended.
+
+### Step 5: Check for GPU hangs
+
+On the host machine, check `dmesg` for GPU-related errors:
+
+```
+dmesg | grep -i -E "gpu|drm|reset|hang"
+```
+
+Messages like `trying reset from guc_exec_queue_timedout_job` or similar GPU reset/hang messages indicate a driver or hardware issue. Ensure your kernel and GPU drivers (especially Intel) are up to date.
+
+### Step 6: Verify hardware acceleration configuration
+
+An incorrect `hwaccel_args` preset can cause ffmpeg to fail silently or consume excessive CPU, starving the detector of resources.
+
+- After upgrading Frigate, verify your preset matches your hardware (e.g., `preset-intel-qsv-h264` instead of the deprecated `preset-vaapi`).
+- For h265 cameras, use the corresponding h265 preset (e.g., `preset-intel-qsv-h265`).
+- Note that `hwaccel_args` are only relevant for the detect stream — Frigate does not decode the record stream.
+
+### Step 7: Verify go2rtc stream configuration
+
+Ensure that the ffmpeg source names in your go2rtc configuration match the correct camera stream. A misconfigured stream name (e.g., copying a config from one camera to another without updating the stream reference) will cause the wrong stream to be used or the stream to fail entirely.
+
+### Step 8: Check system resources
+
+If none of the above apply, the issue may be a general resource constraint. Monitor the following on your host:
+
+- **CPU usage** — An overloaded CPU can prevent the detector from keeping up.
+- **RAM and swap** — Excessive swapping dramatically slows all I/O operations.
+- **Disk I/O** — Use `iotop` or `iostat` to check for saturation.
+- **Storage space** — Verify you have free space on the Frigate storage volume (check the Storage page in the Frigate UI).
+
+Try temporarily disabling resource-intensive features like `genai` and `face_recognition` to see if the issue resolves. This can help isolate whether the detector is being starved of resources.

+
+## generate_ui_tabs.py
+
+Automatically generates "Frigate UI" tab content for documentation files based on the YAML config examples already in the docs.
+
+Instead of manually writing UI instructions for every YAML block, this script reads three data sources from the codebase and generates the UI tabs:
+
+1. **JSON Schema** (from Pydantic config models) -- field names, types, defaults
+2. **i18n translation files** -- the exact labels shown in the Settings UI
+3. **Section mappings** (from Settings.tsx) -- config key to UI navigation path
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Run from the repository root. The script imports Frigate's Python config models directly, so the `frigate` package must be importable:
+
+```bash
+# From repo root -- no extra install needed if your environment can import frigate
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --help
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+#### Preview (default)
+
+Shows what would be generated for each bare YAML block, without modifying any files:
+
+```bash
+# Single file
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py docs/docs/configuration/record.md
+
+# All config docs
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py docs/docs/configuration/
+```
+
+#### Inject
+
+Wraps bare YAML blocks with `<ConfigTabs>` and inserts the generated UI tab. Also adds the required imports (`ConfigTabs`, `TabItem`, `NavPath`) after the frontmatter if missing.
+
+Already-wrapped blocks are skipped (idempotent).
+
+```bash
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --inject docs/docs/configuration/record.md
+```
+
+#### Check
+
+Compares existing UI tabs against what the script would generate from the current schema and i18n files. Prints a unified diff for each drifted block and exits with code 1 if any drift is found.
+
+Use this in CI to catch stale docs after schema or i18n changes.
+
+```bash
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --check docs/docs/configuration/
+```
+
+#### Regenerate

+Replaces the UI tab content in existing `<ConfigTabs>` blocks with freshly generated content. The YAML tab is preserved exactly as-is. Only blocks that have actually changed are rewritten.
+
+```bash
+# Preview changes without writing
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --regenerate --dry-run docs/docs/configuration/
+
+# Apply changes
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --regenerate docs/docs/configuration/
+```
+
+#### Output to directory (`--outdir`)
+
+Write generated files to a separate directory instead of modifying the originals. The source directory structure is mirrored. Files without changes are copied as-is so the output is a complete snapshot suitable for diffing.
+
+Works with `--inject` and `--regenerate`.
+
+```bash
+# Generate into a named directory
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --inject --outdir /tmp/generated docs/docs/configuration/
+
+# Then diff original vs generated
+diff -rq docs/docs/configuration/ /tmp/generated/
+
+# Or let an AI agent compare them
+diff -ru docs/docs/configuration/record.md /tmp/generated/record.md
+```
+
+This is useful for AI agents that need to review the generated output before applying it, or for previewing what `--inject` or `--regenerate` would do across an entire directory.
+
+#### Verbose mode
+
+Add `-v` to any mode for detailed diagnostics (skipped blocks, reasons, unchanged blocks):
+
+```bash
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py -v docs/docs/configuration/
+```
+
+### Typical workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Preview what would be generated (output to temp dir, originals untouched)
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --inject --outdir /tmp/ui-preview docs/docs/configuration/
+# Compare: diff -ru docs/docs/configuration/ /tmp/ui-preview/
+
+# 2. Apply: inject UI tabs into the actual docs
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --inject docs/docs/configuration/
+
+# 3. Review and hand-edit where needed (the script gets you 90% there)
+
+# 4. Later, after schema or i18n changes, check for drift
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --check docs/docs/configuration/
+
+# 5. If drifted, preview then regenerate
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --regenerate --outdir /tmp/ui-regen docs/docs/configuration/
+# Compare: diff -ru docs/docs/configuration/ /tmp/ui-regen/
+
+# 6. Apply regeneration
+python3 docs/scripts/generate_ui_tabs.py --regenerate docs/docs/configuration/
+```
+
+### How it decides what to generate
+
+The script detects two patterns from the YAML block content:
+
+**Pattern A -- Field table.** When the YAML has inline comments (e.g., `# <- description`), the script generates a markdown table with field names and descriptions:
+
+```markdown
+Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Global configuration > Recording" />.
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| **Continuous retention > Retention days** | Days to retain recordings. |
+| **Motion retention > Retention days** | Days to retain recordings. |
+```
+
+**Pattern B -- Set instructions.** When the YAML has concrete values without comments, the script generates step-by-step instructions:
+
+```markdown
+Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Global configuration > Recording" />.
+
+- Set **Enable recording** to on
+- Set **Continuous retention > Retention days** to `3`
+- Set **Alert retention > Event retention > Retention days** to `30`
+- Set **Alert retention > Event retention > Retention mode** to `all`
+```
+
+**Camera-level config** is auto-detected when the YAML is nested under `cameras:`. The output uses a generic camera reference rather than the example camera name from the YAML:
+
+```markdown
+1. Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Camera configuration > Recording" /> and select your camera.
+   - Set **Enable recording** to on
+   - Set **Continuous retention > Retention days** to `5`
+```
+
+### What gets skipped
+
+- YAML blocks already inside `<ConfigTabs>` (for `--inject`)
+- YAML blocks whose top-level key is not a known config section (e.g., `go2rtc`, `docker-compose`, `scrape_configs`)
+- Fields listed in `hiddenFields` in the section configs (e.g., `enabled_in_config`)
