* fix record status never returning online after a record ffmpeg restart

The record ffmpeg restart paths sent `offline` directly, so the cached record status still read `online` and the recovery was never published. Detect and record also shared one resend timestamp, and detect's resend always ran first, so record's periodic resend never fired either. Record's offline now goes through the cache and each status has its own timestamp.

* don't publish record online when the record process has exited

Download a pre-compiled YOLO `.dxnn` model from the [DEEPX ModelZoo](https://developer.deepx.ai/modelzoo) or compile your own with DX-COM, then bind-mount it into the container and point the model's `path` at it. The recommended model is `yolox-s_640x640_ppu.dxnn`. Its Post-Processing Unit (PPU) compile moves candidate selection onto the NPU, which makes it the fastest ModelZoo model measured through Frigate (about 13 ms on a DX-M1). The output layout is read from the compiled model, so anchor-based, anchor-free, NMS-in-head and PPU models (anchor-based or anchor-free) all need no extra configuration; prefer a `PPU` variant whenever the ModelZoo offers one. PPU models must be compiled with DX-COM 2.4.0 or later, which writes the head layout Frigate reads into the file.

-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.

+#### GenAI Provider
+
+Frigate can send audio to a GenAI provider for transcription when that provider has the `transcribe` role. This is useful if you already run a GenAI provider, or if you do not have the CPU/GPU headroom for a local whisper model. Supported providers are **OpenAI**, **Azure OpenAI**, **Gemini**, and **llama.cpp** with an audio-capable model (a dedicated ASR model such as Qwen3-ASR, or a general multimodal model that accepts audio). Ollama is not supported as it has no audio input.
+
+To use a GenAI provider for audio transcription:
+
+1. Configure a GenAI provider with `transcribe` in its `roles`.
+2. Set the audio transcription model to that GenAI config key (e.g. `whisper_cloud`).

+
+:::
+
+:::warning
+
+**Live transcription against a metered provider is billed continuously.** In live mode Frigate uploads an overlapping ~2 second window of audio roughly once per second, per camera, for as long as audio stays above that camera's `audio.min_volume`. Windows below that threshold are never uploaded, which is what keeps a quiet camera near zero requests, but a camera pointed at a busy street will keep sending.
+
+Three things keep this opt-in: `transcribe` is not one of the default roles, live transcription is off by default, and the volume gate suppresses silence. Transcription of recorded `speech` events is unaffected - it remains a manual, one-request-per-event action.

+`device` and `model_size` have no effect on this path and no local model is ever downloaded.
+
+`language` defaults to `auto`, which sends no language hint and lets the model detect it. Most audio models detect language well, so leave it on `auto` unless detection is picking the wrong one.
+
+When set explicitly, it is sent as the transcription endpoint's native `language` parameter for OpenAI, Azure, and llama.cpp, and as part of the prompt for Gemini. This matters for dedicated ASR models such as Qwen3-ASR: they read the prompt as contextual biasing rather than as an instruction, so a language named in the prompt is ignored, while the endpoint parameter is honored.

 For speech sources close to the camera with minimal background noise, use the `small` model.
 
+A [GenAI provider](#genai-provider) is generally the most accurate option for live transcription, at the cost of a network round trip per window. That round trip has to stay under about a second to keep up with the audio; if it does not, Frigate drops the oldest buffered audio rather than letting the backlog grow.

 If you have CUDA hardware, you can experiment with the `large` `whisper` model on GPU. Performance is not quite as fast as the `sherpa-onnx` `small` model, but live transcription is far more accurate. Using the `large` model with CPU will likely be too slow for real-time transcription.

+## Review items
+
+When a model's state changes while its camera has an active review item, the change is recorded on that review item. This includes changes in the few seconds before the item starts, such as a garage door opening just before the car is detected. State changes never create or extend review items on their own, and the first state reported after Frigate starts is not recorded as a change.
+
+Recorded changes appear in the review item's data as `classification_state_changes` (see the [`frigate/reviews`](/integrations/mqtt#frigatereviews) MQTT topic) and are passed to [GenAI review summaries](/configuration/genai/genai_review) as facts, so a description can note that a gate was opened during the activity.
+
+Change times are most accurate with `motion: true`. A model that only runs on an `interval` notices a change at its next run, so the change may be recorded late or attached to a later review item.

 Each model is available in multiple parameter sizes (3b, 4b, 8b, etc.). Larger sizes are more capable of complex tasks and understanding of situations, but requires more memory and computational resources. It is recommended to try multiple models and experiment to see which performs best.

+### Frame Mode
+
+Review items are sent to the model as a sequence of still frames. Some models follow that sequence well on their own; others lose track of activity that repeats or reverses, and describe a single trip when the subject actually made several. The `frame_mode` option controls how those frames are presented.
+
+- `frames` (default): the prompt followed by the frames, exactly as earlier versions of Frigate sent them.
+- `annotated_frames`: each frame is preceded by its frame number and elapsed time, along with notes describing what the object tracker recorded at that moment, such as an object being first detected, starting to move, turning around, stopping, or no longer being detected.
+
+The notes come from tracking data rather than from the images, so they describe activity the model may not have picked up on its own. In testing with a person carrying three waste bins to the curb one at a time, `gemma4` described a single trip on every attempt with `frames`, and consistently described multiple trips with `annotated_frames`. Models that already handle these sequences well, such as the `qwen3-vl` family, gain little and should stay on `frames`.
+
+Changes reported by [state classification](/configuration/custom_classification/state_classification#review-items) models during the review item are listed in the prompt in both modes. `annotated_frames` also notes each change before the frame where it happened.
+
+Annotated mode also caps the number of frames, since the notes already establish the order of events and extra near-duplicate frames tend to crowd out the middle of a clip. Longer review items are sampled more sparsely as a result, and typically use fewer tokens than `frames` mode for the same item.

 ### Response Style
 
 Different models respond to the built-in prompt with very different writing styles: some produce natural narration while others sound short and mechanical. The `response_style` option selects a writing style preset that rewords the prompt's instructions for the user-facing fields (the title, short summary, and scene description). Presets replace those instructions rather than adding extra ones, so the model never receives competing style directions.

+## Apple Silicon Mac (lighter)
+
+[lighter](https://github.com/fieldwork-ai/lighter) is an open-source container runtime for macOS. It gives a container the Mac's media engine as a standard V4L2 decoder, backed by VideoToolbox, so Frigate decodes H.264 and H.265 streams in hardware with the ffmpeg it already ships. It works on M1 and newer Macs with lighter 0.9.2 or newer.
+
+Give the container the video device. With Docker Compose:
+
+```yaml {4-5}

+  frigate:
+    ...
+    devices:
+      - lighter.sh/video=all
+```
+
+Or with `docker run`, add `--device lighter.sh/video=all`.
+
+Then set the preset for the codec your cameras stream. The decoder is specific to the codec, so if your cameras mix H.264 and H.265, set the preset for the most common codec globally and override it on the other cameras:
+
+```yaml
+ffmpeg:
+  hwaccel_args: preset-apple-silicon-h264
+
+cameras:
+  garage: # an H.265 camera
+    ffmpeg:

+```
+
+The presets decode on the media engine and encode the Birdseye restream and timelapses there too. Scaling to the detect resolution runs on the CPU, as ffmpeg's V4L2 decoders cannot scale.
+
+lighter can also run object detection on the Mac's Neural Engine; see [Apple Neural Engine (lighter)](object_detectors.md#apple-neural-engine-lighter).

Three related controls work together:
+
+- **Stream**: _what_ to play. This lists the [streams you've configured](#setting-streams-for-live-ui) (for example `Main Stream` and `Sub Stream`).
+- **Force low-bandwidth mode**: a switch that always plays Frigate's built-in low-bandwidth feed (the stream assigned the `detect` role, using JSMpeg) instead of the selected stream. It works anywhere without go2rtc and is useful on slow or metered connections. While it is enabled, the stream and streaming technology selectors are disabled; your stream and technology choices are restored when you turn it off.
+- **Streaming Technology**: _how_ to play the selected stream, listing **MSE** and **WebRTC**. It is only shown for a restreamed stream.
+
+- The choices are saved **per device, per camera** in your browser's local storage.
+- **WebRTC is only selectable when it can actually work for that stream.** When it can't, the option is shown disabled with the reason inline, and a more detailed reason (the failing codecs, or why the connectivity check failed) is logged to your browser's console. Common reasons:
+  - **Not configured**: no `candidates` or `ice_servers` are set under `go2rtc.webrtc` (see [WebRTC extra configuration](#webrtc-extra-configuration)).
+  - **Could not connect**: e.g. port `8555` isn't reachable, or a STUN/TURN server is misconfigured. Frigate runs a one-time WebRTC connectivity check when the Live view opens; the option may briefly show as "checking" while it runs.
+  - **Unsupported video codec**: the stream's video codec can't be played over WebRTC in your browser, most commonly H.265/HEVC in Firefox or Edge.
+  - **Unsupported audio codec**: WebRTC needs opus or G.711 audio, so a stream whose playback audio is only AAC (without an added opus/G.711 track) can't carry audio over WebRTC. See [Audio Support](#audio-support) for how to add one.
+  - **Unsupported browser**: the browser doesn't support WebRTC.
+
+When WebRTC isn't available, Frigate automatically uses MSE (or falls back to JSMpeg), so live view keeps working regardless of the selection.

+### Transcoded streams
+
+When a camera has no suitable sub stream, Frigate can add lower-quality streams that go2rtc transcodes to H.264 while someone is watching.

+          - height: 480
+            bitrate: 500
+```
+
+Each quality becomes a go2rtc stream named `<camera>_transcode_<height>p`. go2rtc picks a hardware encoder automatically and falls back to the CPU, which costs CPU for each transcode while it is being watched. Check go2rtc's `api/ffmpeg/hardware` page to see which encoder it found. Using a sub stream as the `source` lowers the cost.

+### Configuration {#configuration-deepx}
+
+<ModelConfigDropdown detectorTitle="DEEPX" models={objectDetectorsModels.deepx.models} />
+
+Frigate does not bundle a model for this detector. Models must be compiled to DEEPX's `.dxnn` format. Two model types are supported:
+
+- `yolo-generic` for YOLO object detection models, the recommended default. The detector reads the model's output layout from the compiled file, so anchor-based, anchor-free and NMS-in-head models all work with the same configuration, as do models compiled with DEEPX's Post-Processing Unit (PPU) support.
+- `yolox` for YOLOX models compiled without PPU support, whose raw head needs Frigate's YOLOX decoder. A YOLOX model compiled with PPU support works under either `yolox` or `yolo-generic`.
+
+The quickest way to get one is the [DEEPX ModelZoo](https://developer.deepx.ai/modelzoo), which publishes pre-compiled `.dxnn` files for a range of YOLO object detection models. Download the `.dxnn`, bind-mount it into the container, and point the model's `path` at it. Alternatively, compile your own model with the DX-COM compiler. The recommended starting point is `yolox-s_640x640_ppu.dxnn`, the fastest ModelZoo model measured through Frigate:
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  - devices:
+      - deepx:PCIe:0
+    path: /config/model_cache/deepx/yolox-s_640x640_ppu.dxnn
+    labelmap_path: /labelmap/coco-80.txt
+    model_type: yolo-generic
+    width: 640
+    height: 640
+```
+
+For PPU models, use a `.dxnn` compiled with DX-COM 2.4.0 or later. Frigate reads the PPU head layout the compiler writes into the file and refuses to load a PPU model without it.
+
+`model_type` must be set to `yolo-generic` or `yolox` to match the model; `yolo-generic` is the recommended default unless the model is a raw YOLOX export. Frigate defaults it to `ssd`, which this detector does not support, so the detector refuses to start on a model that leaves it unset.
+
+`width` and `height` must match the resolution the model was compiled for. Quantization parameters are baked into the `.dxnn` file at compile time, so no normalization is applied on the host and Frigate's default `input_tensor`, `input_pixel_format`, and `input_dtype` values do not need to be overridden.
+
+A DEEPX device is `PCIe:<index>`, as reported on the detector settings page. The NPU daemon multiplexes across processes, so the same device may be listed more than once to run additional inference processes against it:
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  - devices:
+      - deepx:PCIe:0
+      - deepx:PCIe:0
+```
+
+#### Label maps
+
+The object detection models in the DEEPX ModelZoo are trained on the standard 80-class COCO label set, so `labelmap_path` must be set to `/labelmap/coco-80.txt`. Frigate's default label map uses an extended 91-class COCO scheme, and leaving it in place will cause detections to be reported as the wrong object type. For `yolo-generic` models the label map is also what the detector uses to tell the output layout, so a label map with the wrong number of classes is reported as an error at startup.

Due to the size of the additional libraries, this detector is only provided in images with the `-tensorrt-jp6` tag suffix, e.g. `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-tensorrt-jp6`. This detector is designed to work with Yolo models for object detection.

 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.
 
+### Why can't a profile enable recording when it's disabled in the base config?
+
+Frigate only sets up a camera's recording stream at startup when recording is enabled in the base config, so enabling it later from a profile has no effect. The same applies to turning recording on from the UI or MQTT.
+
+To keep recording off by default, leave `record.enabled: true` in the base config and create a profile that sets `record.enabled: false`. Activate that profile and it will be restored automatically when Frigate starts.
+
 ### Can I schedule profiles to be enabled or disabled at certain times?
 
 Not within Frigate itself. Frigate is an NVR, not an automation platform, so it intentionally does not include a scheduler for activating profiles. Instead, activate profiles from an automation platform that already handles time- and event-based triggers well, such as [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) or [Node-RED](https://nodered.org/). These integrate with Frigate and give you far more robust and flexible scheduling than a built-in scheduler could.

 Inference speeds may vary depending on the host platform. The above data was measured on an **Intel 13700 CPU**. Platforms like Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and other ARM-based SBCs have different levels of processing capability, which may limit total FPS.
 
+### DEEPX NPU
+
+Frigate supports the DEEPX NPU in both of its form factors: the **DX-M1** M.2 module, which works on x86 (Intel/AMD) and ARM-based SBCs such as the Raspberry Pi 5, and the **DX-M1M** on the [Sixfab AI HAT+](https://docs.sixfab.com/docs/ai-hat-plus-raspberry-pi-5-quickstart) for the Raspberry Pi 5. Both use the same driver and runtime, so the configuration is identical for either one. DEEPX NPU support in Frigate is developed and maintained by [Sixfab](https://sixfab.com).
+
+The DEEPX driver and runtime run on the Docker host rather than inside the Frigate container and must be installed before the NPU can be used. See the [installation docs](installation.md#deepx-npu) for the setup steps and [the detector docs](/configuration/object_detectors#deepx-npu) for the configuration.
+
+Frigate does not bundle a model for this detector. Models use DEEPX's `.dxnn` format, and pre-compiled YOLO models can be downloaded from the [DEEPX ModelZoo](https://developer.deepx.ai/modelzoo). Prefer a model with a `_ppu` suffix whenever one is available for the architecture you want: these run part of the post-processing on the NPU itself and are considerably faster, roughly 2.5x for the same architecture and input size. **YOLOX-S with PPU is the recommended starting point.**
+
+Inference times for a few recommended models, measured through Frigate's own stats on a DX-M1:
+
+| Model             | Input Size | DX-M1 Inference Time |
+| ----------------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
+| YOLOX-S (PPU)     | 640        | ~ 13 ms              |
+| YOLOv9-t (PPU)    | 640        | ~ 18 ms              |
+| YOLOv4 (PPU)      | 512        | ~ 20 ms              |
+| YOLOX-S           | 640        | ~ 34 ms              |
+| YOLOv9-s          | 640        | ~ 39 ms              |
+
+Other ModelZoo YOLO variants are also supported but have not been measured. Inference speeds vary with the host platform, so a slower host such as a Raspberry Pi 5 will report higher times than those above.
+
+:::note
+
+A few ModelZoo models can not be used with Frigate: SSD models (they are trained on Pascal VOC, so their labels do not match Frigate's), DAMO-YOLO models, face and pose models, and the PPU builds of YOLOv7.

+### DEEPX NPU
+
+The DEEPX NPU is available in two form factors, and Frigate supports both:
+
+- **DX-M1** in the M.2 2280 form factor (like an NVMe SSD), for x86 (Intel/AMD) PCs, the Raspberry Pi 5, and other ARM SBCs with an exposed PCIe M.2 slot.
+- **DX-M1M** on the [Sixfab AI HAT+](https://docs.sixfab.com/docs/ai-hat-plus-raspberry-pi-5-quickstart), a HAT+ board that connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 over PCIe Gen 3 x1.
+
+Both present the NPU through the same PCIe driver and DX-RT runtime, so the setup below and the detector configuration are identical for either one. Nothing needs to change when moving between them.
+
+DEEPX NPU support in Frigate is developed and maintained by [Sixfab](https://sixfab.com).
+
+#### Versions
+
+A DEEPX install has several separately versioned pieces, and they all have to agree. The driver, the runtime, and the daemon live on the Docker host; Frigate itself carries only the Python bindings, which it downloads on first start:
+
+| Component      | Version  | Installed on | Installed by              |
+| -------------- | -------- | ------------ | ------------------------- |
+| Kernel driver  | `v2.6.0` | Host  | `user_installation.sh`    |
+| DX-RT runtime  | `v3.4.0` | Host  | `user_installation.sh`    |
+| NPU firmware   | `v2.7.4` | The module   | Flashed from the host     |
+| DX-RT bindings | `v3.4.0` | Frigate      | Downloaded at first start |
+
+:::warning
+
+A version mismatch does not produce a startup error. It typically shows up as inference requests that are accepted but never return a result, so detections simply stop appearing while Frigate looks healthy. If that happens after a Frigate upgrade, check every version in the table before anything else.
+
+:::
+
+The installation script installs the DX-RT runtime on the host and enables `dxrt.service`, so the daemon starts at boot and any other program on the host can share the NPU with Frigate. Check the firmware version with `dxrt-cli --status` and update the module if it does not match the table above.
+
+#### Installation
+
+The DEEPX kernel driver must be installed on the host rather than in the container, because containers share the host kernel and cannot load kernel modules. Installing it creates the `/dev/dxrt*` device nodes that are passed through to Frigate. The same script installs the DX-RT runtime and enables `dxrt.service`, the daemon that owns the NPU and hands work to it on behalf of Frigate and anything else on the host.
+
+1. Copy or download [this script](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/blob/dev/docker/deepx/user_installation.sh).
+2. Ensure it has execution permissions with `sudo chmod +x user_installation.sh`
+3. Run the script with `./user_installation.sh`
+4. **Restart your computer** to complete driver installation.
+
+Confirm the NPU is visible before continuing:
+
+```bash
+ls /dev/dxrt*
+```
+
+Then confirm the daemon is running and listening in `/run/dxrt`:
+
+```bash
+systemctl is-active dxrt.service
+ls /run/dxrt/
+```
+
+#### Setup
+
+To set up Frigate, follow the default installation instructions, for example: `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable`
+
+#### Docker configuration
+
+Frigate needs the NPU device node and the directory holding the daemon's socket:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  frigate:
+    devices:
+      - /dev/dxrt0:/dev/dxrt0
+    volumes:
+      - /run/dxrt:/run/dxrt
+```
+
+If you can't use Docker Compose, add `--device /dev/dxrt0:/dev/dxrt0 -v /run/dxrt:/run/dxrt` to your `docker run` command.
+
+Add one `--device` per NPU, contiguously from `/dev/dxrt0`, since the client stops enumerating at the first gap.
+
+The installation script configures `dxrt.service` to place its socket in `/run/dxrt` through a systemd drop-in. Mounting the directory rather than the socket file means the container sees the new socket after `dxrt.service` is restarted, rather than holding on to a deleted one.
+
+`dxrtd` listens on an abstract socket as well, but that one does not cross into a container, so Frigate names the filesystem socket through `DXRT_DYNAMIC_IPC_ENDPOINT` on your behalf. Set that variable on the container yourself only if the daemon listens somewhere else, which means you also set it for `dxrtd` through its own systemd drop-in. The script writes `/etc/systemd/system/dxrt.service.d/frigate.conf` for exactly that, and has `dxrt.service` link the socket to `/tmp/dxrt_dynamic_ipc.sock` when it starts, so the host's own `dxrt-cli` and `dxtop` keep finding it at the default path they fall back to.
+
+:::note
+
+The DX-RT client exits when `dxrt.service` stops, so restart the Frigate container after restarting `dxrt.service`.
+
+:::
+
+The device node is needed as well as the socket, because the client opens the NPU directly even though the daemon arbitrates access. Without it, inference fails with `Device not found`.
+
+`/dev/shm` does not need sharing.
+
+The DX-RT python bindings are not shipped in the Frigate image. Frigate downloads them on first start when a DEEPX detector is configured, and caches them under `/config`.
+
+#### Configuration
+

 ### Can I keep using my Frigate+ models even if I do not renew my subscription?
 
-Yes. Subscriptions to Frigate+ provide access to the infrastructure used to train the models. Models trained with your subscription are yours to keep and use forever. However, do note that the terms and conditions prohibit you from sharing, reselling, or creating derivative products from the models.
+Yes. Subscriptions to Frigate+ provide access to the infrastructure used to train the models. Models you train during an active subscription remain licensed for your continued use even after your subscription ends — models already in your model cache will keep working indefinitely. An active subscription is required to train new models and download new versions.
+
+### Can I use Frigate+ models commercially?
+
+A standard subscription covers use on camera systems you own or operate, including for your business. A shop, restaurant, warehouse, or office running Frigate+ at its own locations (including multiple locations) is exactly the kind of use the subscription is for.
+What the standard subscription does not cover is using Frigate+ models to provide a product or service to others. If you're deploying models at your customers' sites, bundling them with hardware you sell, or running them as part of a hosted or managed service, even if your customers never receive the model files themselves, you'll need a commercial license.
+Note that professional installers are fine under standard subscriptions when each customer holds their own Frigate+ subscription. The commercial license is for cases where your license powers your customers' sites.

+- The ``api-version`` parsed from ``base_url`` must be 2024-06-01 or later;
