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

+# 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
+npm run prettier:write                               # Format

-title: Generative AI
---
-
-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.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Generative AI can be enabled for all cameras or only for specific cameras. If GenAI is disabled for a camera, you can still manually generate descriptions for events using the HTTP API. There are currently 3 native providers available to integrate with Frigate. Other providers that support the OpenAI standard API can also be used. See the OpenAI section below.
-
-To use Generative AI, you must define a single provider at the global level of your Frigate configuration. If the provider you choose requires an API key, you may either directly paste it in your configuration, or store it in an environment variable prefixed with `FRIGATE_`.
-
-```yaml
-genai:
-  provider: gemini
-  api_key: "{FRIGATE_GEMINI_API_KEY}"
-  model: gemini-2.0-flash
-
-cameras:
-  front_camera:
-    genai:
-      enabled: True # <- enable GenAI for your front camera
-      use_snapshot: True
-      objects:
-        - person
-      required_zones:
-        - steps
-  indoor_camera:
-    objects:
-      genai:
-        enabled: False # <- disable GenAI for your indoor camera
-```
-
-By default, descriptions will be generated for all tracked objects and all zones. But you can also optionally specify `objects` and `required_zones` to only generate descriptions for certain tracked objects or zones.
-
-Optionally, you can generate the description using a snapshot (if enabled) by setting `use_snapshot` to `True`. By default, this is set to `False`, which sends the uncompressed images from the `detect` stream collected over the object's lifetime to the model. Once the object lifecycle ends, only a single compressed and cropped thumbnail is saved with the tracked object. Using a snapshot might be useful when you want to _regenerate_ a tracked object's description as it will provide the AI with a higher-quality image (typically downscaled by the AI itself) than the cropped/compressed thumbnail. Using a snapshot otherwise has a trade-off in that only a single image is sent to your provider, which will limit the model's ability to determine object movement or direction.
-
-Generative AI can also be toggled dynamically for a camera via MQTT with the topic `frigate/<camera_name>/object_descriptions/set`. See the [MQTT documentation](/integrations/mqtt/#frigatecamera_nameobjectdescriptionsset).
-
-## Ollama
-
-:::warning
-
-Using Ollama on CPU is not recommended, high inference times make using Generative AI impractical.
-
-:::
-
-[Ollama](https://ollama.com/) allows you to self-host large language models and keep everything running locally. It provides a nice API over [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). It is highly recommended to host this server on a machine with an Nvidia graphics card, or on a Apple silicon Mac for best performance.
-
-Most of the 7b parameter 4-bit vision models will fit inside 8GB of VRAM. There is also a [Docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama) available.
-
-Parallel requests also come with some caveats. You will need to set `OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=1` and choose a `OLLAMA_MAX_QUEUE` and `OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS` values that are appropriate for your hardware and preferences. See the [Ollama documentation](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#how-does-ollama-handle-concurrent-requests).
-
-### Supported Models
-
-You must use a vision capable model with Frigate. Current model variants can be found [in their model library](https://ollama.com/library). Note that Frigate will not automatically download the model you specify in your config, you must download the model to your local instance of Ollama first i.e. by running `ollama pull llava:7b` on your Ollama server/Docker container. Note that the model specified in Frigate's config must match the downloaded model tag.
-
-:::note
-
-You should have at least 8 GB of RAM available (or VRAM if running on GPU) to run the 7B models, 16 GB to run the 13B models, and 32 GB to run the 33B models.
-
-:::
-
-#### Ollama Cloud models
-
-Ollama also supports [cloud models](https://ollama.com/cloud), where your local Ollama instance handles requests from Frigate, but model inference is performed in the cloud. Set up Ollama locally, sign in with your Ollama account, and specify the cloud model name in your Frigate config. For more details, see the Ollama cloud model [docs](https://docs.ollama.com/cloud).

-You must use a vision capable model with Frigate. Current model variants can be found [in their documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models).
-
-### Create Resource and Get API Key
-
-To start using Azure OpenAI, you must first [create a resource](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/openai/how-to/create-resource?pivots=web-portal#create-a-resource). You'll need your API key, model name, and resource URL, which must include the `api-version` parameter (see the example below).
-
-### Configuration
-
-```yaml
-genai:
-  provider: azure_openai
-  base_url: https://instance.cognitiveservices.azure.com/openai/responses?api-version=2025-04-01-preview
-  model: gpt-5-mini
-  api_key: "{FRIGATE_OPENAI_API_KEY}"
-```
-
-## 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.
-
-### Using GenAI for notifications
-
-Frigate provides an [MQTT topic](/integrations/mqtt), `frigate/tracked_object_update`, that is updated with a JSON payload containing `event_id` and `description` when your AI provider returns a description for a tracked object. This description could be used directly in notifications, such as sending alerts to your phone or making audio announcements. If additional details from the tracked object are needed, you can query the [HTTP API](/integrations/api/event-events-event-id-get) using the `event_id`, eg: `http://frigate_ip:5000/api/events/<event_id>`.
-
-If looking to get notifications earlier than when an object ceases to be tracked, an additional send trigger can be configured of `after_significant_updates`.
-
-```yaml
-genai:
-  send_triggers:
-    tracked_object_end: true # default
-    after_significant_updates: 3 # how many updates to a tracked object before we should send an image
-```
-
-## Custom Prompts
-
-Frigate sends multiple frames from the tracked object along with a prompt to your Generative AI provider asking it to generate a description. The default prompt is as follows:
-
-```
-Analyze the sequence of images containing the {label}. Focus on the likely intent or behavior of the {label} based on its actions and movement, rather than describing its appearance or the surroundings. Consider what the {label} is doing, why, and what it might do next.
-```
-
-:::tip
-
-Prompts can use variable replacements `{label}`, `{sub_label}`, and `{camera}` to substitute information from the tracked object as part of the prompt.
-
-:::
-
-You are also able to define custom prompts in your configuration.
-
-```yaml
-genai:
-  provider: ollama
-  base_url: http://localhost:11434
-  model: llava
-
-objects:
-  prompt: "Analyze the {label} in these images from the {camera} security camera. Focus on the actions, behavior, and potential intent of the {label}, rather than just describing its appearance."
-  object_prompts:
-    person: "Examine the main person in these images. What are they doing and what might their actions suggest about their intent (e.g., approaching a door, leaving an area, standing still)? Do not describe the surroundings or static details."
-    car: "Observe the primary vehicle in these images. Focus on its movement, direction, or purpose (e.g., parking, approaching, circling). If it's a delivery vehicle, mention the company."
-```
-
-Prompts can also be overridden at the camera level to provide a more detailed prompt to the model about your specific camera, if you desire.
-
-```yaml
-cameras:
-  front_door:
-    objects:
-      genai:
-        enabled: True
-        use_snapshot: True
-        prompt: "Analyze the {label} in these images from the {camera} security camera at the front door. Focus on the actions and potential intent of the {label}."
-        object_prompts:
-          person: "Examine the person in these images. What are they doing, and how might their actions suggest their purpose (e.g., delivering something, approaching, leaving)? If they are carrying or interacting with a package, include details about its source or destination."
-          cat: "Observe the cat in these images. Focus on its movement and intent (e.g., wandering, hunting, interacting with objects). If the cat is near the flower pots or engaging in any specific actions, mention it."
-        objects:
-          - person
-          - cat
-        required_zones:
-          - steps
-```
-
-### Experiment with prompts
-
-Many providers also have a public facing chat interface for their models. Download a couple of different thumbnails or snapshots from Frigate and try new things in the playground to get descriptions to your liking before updating the prompt in Frigate.

+
+- **Instruct models** are always recommended for use with Frigate. These models generate direct, relevant, actionable descriptions that best fit Frigate's object and event summary use case.
+- **Reasoning / Thinking models** are fine-tuned for more free-form, open-ended, and speculative outputs, which are typically not concise and may not provide the practical summaries Frigate expects. For this reason, Frigate does **not** recommend or support using thinking models.
+
+Some models are labeled as **hybrid** (capable of both thinking and instruct tasks). In these cases, it is recommended to disable reasoning / thinking, which is generally model specific (see your models documentation).
+
+**Recommendation:**
+Always select the `-instruct` or documented instruct/tagged variant of any model you use in your Frigate configuration. If in doubt, refer to your model provider's documentation or model library for guidance on the correct model variant to use.

 Optionally, you can generate the description using a snapshot (if enabled) by setting `use_snapshot` to `True`. By default, this is set to `False`, which sends the uncompressed images from the `detect` stream collected over the object's lifetime to the model. Once the object lifecycle ends, only a single compressed and cropped thumbnail is saved with the tracked object. Using a snapshot might be useful when you want to _regenerate_ a tracked object's description as it will provide the AI with a higher-quality image (typically downscaled by the AI itself) than the cropped/compressed thumbnail. Using a snapshot otherwise has a trade-off in that only a single image is sent to your provider, which will limit the model's ability to determine object movement or direction.

 Object detection and enrichments (like Semantic Search, Face Recognition, and License Plate Recognition) are independent features. To use a GPU / NPU for object detection, see the [Object Detectors](/configuration/object_detectors.md) documentation. If you want to use your GPU for any supported enrichments, you must choose the appropriate Frigate Docker image for your GPU / NPU and configure the enrichment according to its specific documentation.

 - **AMD**
-
  - ROCm support in the `-rocm` Frigate image is automatically detected for enrichments, but only some enrichment models are available due to ROCm's focus on LLMs and limited stability with certain neural network models. Frigate disables models that perform poorly or are unstable to ensure reliable operation, so only compatible enrichments may be active.

 - **Intel**
-
  - OpenVINO will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the default Frigate image.
  - **Note:** Intel NPUs have limited model support for enrichments. GPU is recommended for enrichments when available.

 - **Nvidia**
-
  - Nvidia GPUs will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the `-tensorrt` Frigate image.
  - Jetson devices will automatically be detected and used for enrichments in the `-tensorrt-jp6` Frigate image.

 - **RockChip**
  - RockChip NPU will automatically be detected and used for semantic search v1 and face recognition in the `-rk` Frigate image.

-Utilizing a GPU for enrichments does not require you to use the same GPU for object detection. For example, you can run the `tensorrt` Docker image for enrichments and still use other dedicated hardware like a Coral or Hailo for object detection. However, one combination that is not supported is TensorRT for object detection and OpenVINO for enrichments.

+Some types of hardware acceleration are detected and used automatically, but you may need to update your configuration to enable hardware accelerated decoding in ffmpeg. To verify that hardware acceleration is working:

+- Check the logs: A message will either say that hardware acceleration was automatically detected, or there will be a warning that no hardware acceleration was automatically detected
+- If hardware acceleration is specified in the config, verification can be done by ensuring the logs are free from errors. There is no CPU fallback for hardware acceleration.

-Ensure you increase the allocated RAM for your GPU to at least 128 (`raspi-config` > Performance Options > GPU Memory).
-If you are using the HA Add-on, you may need to use the full access variant and turn off _Protection mode_ for hardware acceleration.
+Frigate supports presets for optimal hardware accelerated video decoding:

 Start with ["Why isn't my license plate being detected and recognized?"](#why-isnt-my-license-plate-being-detected-and-recognized). If you are still having issues, work through these steps.

 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.

 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.

 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)).

+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.

-Some cameras like doorbell cameras may have missed detections when someone walks directly in front of the camera and the lightning_threshold causes motion detection to be re-calibrated. In this case, it may be desirable to increase the `lightning_threshold` to ensure these objects are not missed.

+  #           sudden lighting events).
+  skip_motion_threshold: 0.7
+```
+
+This option is handy when you want to prevent large transient changes from triggering recordings or object detection. It differs from `lightning_threshold` because it completely suppresses motion instead of just forcing a recalibration.
+
+:::warning
+
+When the skip threshold is exceeded, **no motion is reported** for that frame, meaning **nothing is recorded** for that frame. That means you can miss something important, like a PTZ camera auto-tracking an object or activity while the camera is moving. If you prefer to guarantee that every frame is saved, leave this unset and accept occasional recordings containing scene noise — they typically only take up a few megabytes and are quick to scan in the timeline UI.

 :::
-
-Large changes in motion like PTZ moves and camera switches between Color and IR mode should result in a pause in object detection. This is done via the `lightning_threshold` configuration. It is defined as the percentage of the image used to detect lightning or other substantial changes where motion detection needs to recalibrate. Increasing this value will make motion detection more likely to consider lightning or IR mode changes as valid motion. Decreasing this value will make motion detection more likely to ignore large amounts of motion such as a person approaching a doorbell camera.

+id: profiles
+title: Profiles
+---
+
+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/.active_profile` file).
+
+:::
+
+## Configuration
+
+The easiest way to define profiles is to use the Frigate UI. Profiles can also be configured manually in your configuration file.
+
+### Using the UI
+
+To create and manage profiles from the UI, open **Settings**. From there you can:
+
+1. **Create a profile** — Navigate to **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
+3. **Activate a profile** — Use the **Profiles** option in Frigate's main menu to choose a profile. Alternatively, in Settings, navigate to **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 **Profiles**, then click the trash icon for a profile. This removes the profile definition and all camera overrides associated with it.
+
+### Defining Profiles in 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
+```
+
+### Camera Profile Overrides
+
+Under each camera, add a `profiles` section with overrides for each profile. You only need to include the settings you want to change.
+
+```yaml
+cameras:
+  front_door:
+    ffmpeg:
+      inputs:
+        - path: rtsp://camera:554/stream
+          roles:
+            - detect
+            - record
+    detect:
+      enabled: true
+    record:
+      enabled: true
+    profiles:
+      away:
+        detect:
+          enabled: true
+        notifications:
+          enabled: true
+        objects:
+          track:
+            - person
+            - car
+            - package
+        review:
+          alerts:
+            labels:
+              - person
+              - car
+              - package
+      home:
+        detect:
+          enabled: true
+        notifications:
+          enabled: false
+        objects:
+          track:
+            - person
+```
+
+### Supported Override Sections
+
+The following camera configuration sections can be overridden in a profile:
+
+| Section            | Description                               |
+| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `enabled`          | Enable or disable the camera entirely     |
+| `audio`            | Audio detection settings                  |
+| `birdseye`         | Birdseye view settings                    |
+| `detect`           | Object detection settings                 |
+| `face_recognition` | Face recognition settings                 |
+| `lpr`              | License plate recognition settings        |
+| `motion`           | Motion detection settings                 |
+| `notifications`    | Notification settings                     |
+| `objects`          | Object tracking and filter settings       |
+| `record`           | Recording settings                        |
+| `review`           | Review alert and detection settings       |
+| `snapshots`        | Snapshot settings                         |
+| `zones`            | Zone definitions (merged with base zones) |
+
+:::note
+
+Only the fields you explicitly set in a profile override are applied. All other fields retain their base configuration values. For zones, profile zones are merged with the camera's base zones — any zone defined in the profile will override or add to the base zones.
+
+:::
+
+## Activating Profiles
+
+Profiles can be activated and deactivated from the Frigate UI. Open the Settings cog and select **Profiles** from the submenu to see all defined profiles. From there you can activate any profile or deactivate the current one. The active profile is indicated in the UI so you always know which profile is in effect.
+
+## Example: Home / Away Setup
+
+A common use case is having different detection and notification settings based on whether you are home or away.
+
+```yaml
+profiles:
+  home:
+    friendly_name: Home
+  away:
+    friendly_name: Away
+

+          alerts:
+            labels:
+              - person
+              - car
+      home:
+        notifications:
+          enabled: false
+
+  indoor_cam:
+    ffmpeg:
+      inputs:
+        - path: rtsp://camera:554/indoor
+          roles:
+            - detect

+        record:
+          enabled: true
+      home:
+        enabled: false
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- **Away profile**: The front door camera enables notifications and tracks specific alert labels. The indoor camera is fully enabled with detection and recording.
+- **Home profile**: The front door camera disables notifications. The indoor camera is completely disabled for privacy.

-## Syncing Recordings With Disk
+## Syncing Media Files With Disk

-In some cases the recordings files may be deleted but Frigate will not know this has happened. Recordings sync can be enabled which will tell Frigate to check the file system and delete any db entries for files which don't exist.
+Media files (event snapshots, event thumbnails, review thumbnails, previews, exports, and recordings) can become orphaned when database entries are deleted but the corresponding files remain on disk.

-```yaml
-record:
-  sync_recordings: True
-```
+Normal operation may leave small numbers of orphaned files until Frigate's scheduled cleanup, but crashes, configuration changes, or upgrades may cause more orphaned files that Frigate does not clean up. This feature checks the file system for media files and removes any that are not referenced in the database.

-This feature is meant to fix variations in files, not completely delete entries in the database. If you delete all of your media, don't use `sync_recordings`, just stop Frigate, delete the `frigate.db` database, and restart.
+The Maintenance pane in the Frigate UI or an API endpoint `POST /api/media/sync` can be used to trigger a media sync. When using the API, a job ID is returned and the operation continues on the server. Status can be checked with the `/api/media/sync/status/{job_id}` endpoint.
+
+Setting `verbose: true` writes a detailed report of every orphaned file and database entry to `/config/media_sync/<job_id>.txt`. For recordings, the report separates orphaned database entries (DB records whose files are missing from disk) from orphaned files (files on disk with no corresponding database record).

+This operation uses considerable CPU resources and includes a safety threshold that aborts if more than 50% of files would be deleted. Only run when necessary. If you set `force: true` the safety threshold will be bypassed; do not use `force` unless you are certain the deletions are intended.

+### GenAI Provider
+
+Frigate can use a GenAI provider for semantic search embeddings when that provider has the `embeddings` role. Currently, only **llama.cpp** supports multimodal embeddings (both text and images).
+
+To use llama.cpp for semantic search:
+
+1. Configure a GenAI provider in your config with `embeddings` in its `roles`.
+2. Set `semantic_search.model` to the GenAI config key (e.g. `default`).
+3. Start the llama.cpp server with `--embeddings` and `--mmproj` for image support:

+      - tools
+
+semantic_search:

+
+The llama.cpp server must be started with `--embeddings` for the embeddings API, and a multi-modal embeddings model. See the [llama.cpp server documentation](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/server/README.md) for details.

+
+For the best experience in Frigate's UI, configure your camera so that the detection and recording streams use the same aspect ratio. For example, if your main stream is 3840x2160 (16:9), set your substream to 640x360 (also 16:9) instead of 640x480 (4:3). While not strictly required, matching aspect ratios helps ensure seamless live stream display and preview/recordings playback.

 ### Choosing a detect resolution

 The ideal resolution for detection is one where the objects you want to detect fit inside the dimensions of the model used by Frigate (320x320). Frigate does not pass the entire camera frame to object detection. It will crop an area of motion from the full frame and look in that portion of the frame. If the area being inspected is larger than 320x320, Frigate must resize it before running object detection. Higher resolutions do not improve the detection accuracy because the additional detail is lost in the resize. Below you can see a reference for how large a 320x320 area is against common resolutions.

 A single Coral can handle many cameras using the default model and will be sufficient for the majority of users. You can calculate the maximum performance of your Coral based on the inference speed reported by Frigate. With an inference speed of 10, your Coral will top out at `1000/10=100`, or 100 frames per second.

 #### Installation

-For Raspberry Pi 5 users with the AI Kit, installation is straightforward. Simply follow this [guide](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/ai-kit.html#ai-kit-installation) to install the driver and software.
+:::warning

-For other installations, follow these steps for installation:
+On Raspberry Pi OS **Bookworm**, the kernel includes an older version of the Hailo driver that is incompatible with Frigate. You **must** follow the installation steps below to install the correct driver version, and you **must** disable the built-in kernel driver as described in step 1.

-1. Install the driver from the [Hailo GitHub repository](https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailort-drivers). A convenient script for Linux is available to clone the repository, build the driver, and install it.
-2. Copy or download [this script](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/blob/dev/docker/hailo8l/user_installation.sh).
-3. Ensure it has execution permissions with `sudo chmod +x user_installation.sh`
-4. Run the script with `./user_installation.sh`
+On Raspberry Pi OS **Trixie**, the Hailo driver is no longer shipped with the kernel. It is installed via DKMS, and the conflict described below does not apply. You can simply run the installation script.
+
+:::
+
+1. **Disable the built-in Hailo driver (Raspberry Pi Bookworm OS only)**:
+
+   :::note
+
+   If you are **not** using a Raspberry Pi with **Bookworm OS**, skip this step and proceed directly to step 2.
+
+   If you are using Raspberry Pi with **Trixie OS**, also skip this step and proceed directly to step 2.
+
+   :::
+
+   First, check if the driver is currently loaded:
+
+   ```bash
+   lsmod | grep hailo
+   ```
+
+   If it shows `hailo_pci`, unload it:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo modprobe -r hailo_pci
+   ```
+
+   Then locate the built-in kernel driver and rename it so it cannot be loaded.
+   Renaming allows the original driver to be restored later if needed.
+   First, locate the currently installed kernel module:
+
+   ```bash
+   modinfo -n hailo_pci
+   ```
+
+   Example output:
+
+   ```
+   /lib/modules/6.6.31+rpt-rpi-2712/kernel/drivers/media/pci/hailo/hailo_pci.ko.xz
+   ```
+
+   Save the module path to a variable:
+
+   ```bash
+   BUILTIN=$(modinfo -n hailo_pci)
+   ```
+
+   And rename the module by appending .bak:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo mv "$BUILTIN" "${BUILTIN}.bak"
+   ```
+
+   Now refresh the kernel module map so the system recognizes the change:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo depmod -a
+   ```
+
+   Reboot your Raspberry Pi:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo reboot
+   ```
+
+   After rebooting, verify the built-in driver is not loaded:
+
+   ```bash
+   lsmod | grep hailo
+   ```
+
+   This command should return no results.
+
+2. **Run the installation script**:
+
+   Download the installation script:
+
+   ```bash
+   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/dev/docker/hailo8l/user_installation.sh
+   ```
+
+   Make it executable:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo chmod +x user_installation.sh
+   ```
+
+   Run the script:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./user_installation.sh
+   ```
+
+   The script will:
+   - Install necessary build dependencies
+   - Clone and build the Hailo driver from the official repository
+   - Install the driver
+   - Download and install the required firmware
+   - Set up udev rules
+
+3. **Reboot your system**:
+
+   After the script completes successfully, reboot to load the firmware:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo reboot
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify the installation**:
+
+   After rebooting, verify that the Hailo device is available:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls -l /dev/hailo0
+   ```
+
+   You should see the device listed. You can also verify the driver is loaded:
+
+   ```bash
+   lsmod | grep hailo_pci
+   ```
+
+   Verify the driver version:
+
+   ```bash
+   cat /sys/module/hailo_pci/version
+   ```
+
+   Verify that the firmware was installed correctly:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls -l /lib/firmware/hailo/hailo8_fw.bin
+   ```
+
+   **Optional: Fix PCIe descriptor page size error**
+
+   If you encounter the following error:
+
+   ```
+   [HailoRT] [error] CHECK failed - max_desc_page_size given 16384 is bigger than hw max desc page size 4096

 There are many different hardware options for object detection depending on priorities and available hardware. See [the recommended hardware page](./hardware.md#detectors) for more specifics on what hardware is recommended for object detection.

+### CPU
+
+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. Specifically, Intel Celeron and Pentium models prior to the 2020 Tiger Lake generation typically lack AVX. Older Intel Xeon models may have AVX, but may lack AVX2.

 ### Storage

 Storage is an important consideration when planning a new installation. To get a more precise estimate of your storage requirements, you can use an IP camera storage calculator. Websites like [IPConfigure Storage Calculator](https://calculator.ipconfigure.com/) can help you determine the necessary disk space based on your camera settings.

-
  - Navigate to port 1984 in your browser to access go2rtc's web interface.
    - If using Frigate through Home Assistant, enable the web interface at port 1984.
    - If using Docker, forward port 1984 before accessing the web interface.
  - Click `stream` for the specific camera to see if the camera's stream is being received.

 - Check Video Codec:
-
  - If the camera stream works in go2rtc but not in your browser, the video codec might be unsupported.
-  - If using H265, switch to H264. Refer to [video codec compatibility](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/tree/v1.9.10#codecs-madness) in go2rtc documentation.
-  - If unable to switch from H265 to H264, or if the stream format is different (e.g., MJPEG), re-encode the video using [FFmpeg parameters](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/tree/v1.9.10#source-ffmpeg).

+title: High CPU Usage
+---
+
+High CPU usage can impact Frigate's performance and responsiveness. This guide outlines the most effective configuration changes to help reduce CPU consumption and optimize resource usage.
+
+## 1. Hardware Acceleration for Video Decoding
+
+**Priority: Critical**
+
+Video decoding is one of the most CPU-intensive tasks in Frigate. While an AI accelerator handles object detection, it does not assist with decoding video streams. Hardware acceleration (hwaccel) offloads this work to your GPU or specialized video decode hardware, significantly reducing CPU usage and enabling you to support more cameras on the same hardware.
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+**Resolution & FPS Impact:** The decoding burden grows exponentially with resolution and frame rate. A 4K stream at 30 FPS requires roughly 4 times the processing power of a 1080p stream at the same frame rate, and doubling the frame rate doubles the decode workload. This is why hardware acceleration becomes critical when working with multiple high-resolution cameras.
+
+**Hardware Acceleration Benefits:** By using dedicated video decode hardware, you can:
+
+- Significantly reduce CPU usage per camera stream
+- Support 2-3x more cameras on the same hardware
+- Free up CPU resources for motion detection and other Frigate processes
+- Reduce system heat and power consumption
+
+### Configuration
+
+Frigate provides preset configurations for common hardware acceleration scenarios. Set up `hwaccel_args` based on your hardware in your [configuration](../configuration/reference) as described in the [getting started guide](../guides/getting_started).
+
+### Troubleshooting Hardware Acceleration
+
+If hardware acceleration isn't working:
+
+1. Check Frigate logs for FFmpeg errors related to hwaccel
+2. Verify the hardware device is accessible inside the container
+3. Ensure your camera streams use H.264 or H.265 codecs (most common)
+4. Try different presets if the automatic detection fails
+5. Check that your GPU drivers are properly installed on the host system
+
+## 2. Detector Selection and Configuration
+
+**Priority: Critical**
+
+Choosing the right detector for your hardware is the single most important factor for detection performance. The detector is responsible for running the AI model that identifies objects in video frames. Different detector types have vastly different performance characteristics and hardware requirements, as detailed in the [hardware documentation](../frigate/hardware).
+
+### Understanding Detector Performance
+
+Frigate uses motion detection as a first-line check before running expensive object detection, as explained in the [motion detection documentation](../configuration/motion_detection). When motion is detected, Frigate creates a "region" (the green boxes in the debug viewer) and sends it to the detector. The detector's inference speed determines how many detections per second your system can handle.
+
+**Calculating Detector Capacity:** Your detector has a finite capacity measured in detections per second. With an inference speed of 10ms, your detector can handle approximately 100 detections per second (1000ms / 10ms = 100).If your cameras collectively require more than this capacity, you'll experience delays, missed detections, or the system will fall behind.
+
+### Choosing the Right Detector
+
+Different detectors have vastly different performance characteristics, see the expected performance for object detectors in [the hardware docs](../frigate/hardware)
+
+### Multiple Detector Instances
+
+When a single detector cannot keep up with your camera count, some detector types (`openvino`, `onnx`) allow you to define multiple detector instances to share the workload. This is particularly useful with GPU-based detectors that have sufficient VRAM to run multiple inference processes.
+
+For detailed instructions on configuring multiple detectors, see the [Object Detectors documentation](../configuration/object_detectors).
+
+
+**When to add a second detector:**
+
+- Skipped FPS is consistently > 0 even during normal activity
+
+### Model Selection and Optimization
+
+The model you use significantly impacts detector performance. Frigate provides default models optimized for each detector type, but you can customize them as described in the [detector documentation](../configuration/object_detectors).
+
+**Model Size Trade-offs:**
+
+- Smaller models (320x320): Faster inference, Frigate is specifically optimized for a 320x320 size model.
+- Larger models (640x640): Slower inference, can sometimes have higher accuracy on very large objects that take up a majority of the frame.

-title: Troubleshooting Detection
+title: Analyzing Object Detection

-When investigating object detection or tracking problems, it can be helpful to replay an exported video as a temporary "dummy" camera. This lets you reproduce issues locally, iterate on configuration (detections, zones, enrichment settings), and capture logs and clips for analysis.
+Frigate provides several tools for investigating object detection and tracking behavior: reviewing recorded detections through the UI, using the built-in Debug Replay feature, and manually setting up a dummy camera for advanced scenarios.

-## When to use
+## Reviewing Detections in the UI

- Replaying an exported clip to reproduce incorrect detections
- Testing configuration changes (model settings, trackers, filters) against a known clip
- Gathering deterministic logs and recordings for debugging or issue reports
+Before setting up a replay, you can often diagnose detection issues by reviewing existing recordings directly in the Frigate UI.

-## Example Config
+### Detail View (History)

-Place the clip you want to replay in a location accessible to Frigate (for example `/media/frigate/` or the repository `debug/` folder when developing). Then add a temporary camera to your `config/config.yml` like this:
+The **Detail Stream** view in History shows recorded video with detection overlays (bounding boxes, path points, and zone highlights) drawn on top. Select a review item to see its tracked objects and lifecycle events. Clicking a lifecycle event seeks the video to that point so you can see exactly what the detector saw.
+
+### Tracking Details (Explore)
+
+In **Explore**, clicking a thumbnail opens the **Tracking Details** pane, which shows the full lifecycle of a single tracked object: every detection, zone entry/exit, and attribute change. The video plays back with the bounding box overlaid, letting you step through the object's entire lifecycle.
+
+### Annotation Offset
+
+Both views support an **Annotation Offset** setting (`detect.annotation_offset` in your camera config) that shifts the detection overlay in time relative to the recorded video. This compensates for the timing drift between the `detect` and `record` pipelines.
+
+These streams use fundamentally different clocks with different buffering and latency characteristics, so the detection data and the recorded video are never perfectly synchronized. The annotation offset shifts the overlay to visually align the bounding boxes with the objects in the recorded video.
+
+#### Why the offset varies between clips
+
+The base timing drift between detect and record is roughly constant for a given camera, so a single offset value works well on average. However, you may notice the alignment is not pixel-perfect in every clip. This is normal and caused by several factors:
+
+- **Keyframe-constrained seeking**: When the browser seeks to a timestamp, it can only land on the nearest keyframe. Each recording segment has keyframes at different positions relative to the detection timestamps, so the same offset may land slightly early in one clip and slightly late in another.
+- **Segment boundary trimming**: When a recording range starts mid-segment, the video is trimmed to the requested start point. This trim may not align with a keyframe, shifting the effective reference point.
+- **Capture-time jitter**: Network buffering, camera buffer flushes, and ffmpeg's own buffering mean the system-clock timestamp and the corresponding recorded frame are not always offset by exactly the same amount.
+
+The per-clip variation is typically quite low and is mostly an artifact of keyframe granularity rather than a change in the true drift. A "perfect" alignment would require per-frame, keyframe-aware offset compensation, which is not practical. Treat the annotation offset as a best-effort average for your camera.
+
+## Debug Replay
+
+Debug Replay lets you re-run Frigate's detection pipeline against a section of recorded video without manually configuring a dummy camera. It automatically extracts the recording, creates a temporary camera with the same detection settings as the original, and loops the clip through the pipeline so you can observe detections in real time.
+
+### When to use
+
+- Reproducing a detection or tracking issue from a specific time range
+- Testing configuration changes (model settings, zones, filters, motion) against a known clip
+- Gathering logs and debug overlays for a bug report
+
+:::note
+
+Only one replay session can be active at a time. If a session is already running, you will be prompted to navigate to it or stop it first.
+
+:::
+
+### Variables to consider
+
+- The replay will not always produce identical results to the original run. Different frames may be selected on replay, which can change detections and tracking.
+- Motion detection depends on the exact frames used; small frame shifts can change motion regions and therefore what gets passed to the detector.
+- Object detection is not fully deterministic: models and post-processing can yield slightly different results across runs.
+
+Treat the replay as a close approximation rather than an exact reproduction. Run multiple loops and examine the debug overlays and logs to understand the behavior.
+
+## Manual Dummy Camera
+
+For advanced scenarios — such as testing with a clip from a different source, debugging ffmpeg behavior, or running a clip through a completely custom configuration — you can set up a dummy camera manually.
+
+### Example config
+
+Place the clip you want to replay in a location accessible to Frigate (for example `/media/frigate/` or the repository `debug/` folder when developing). Then add a temporary camera to your `config/config.yml`:

+1. Export or copy the clip you want to replay to the Frigate host (e.g., `/media/frigate/` or `debug/clips/`). Depending on what you are looking to debug, it is often helpful to add some "pre-capture" time (where the tracked object is not yet visible) to the clip when exporting.
 2. Add the temporary camera to `config/config.yml` (example above). Use a unique name such as `test` or `replay_camera` so it's easy to remove later.
   - If you're debugging a specific camera, copy the settings from that camera (frame rate, model/enrichment settings, zones, etc.) into the temporary camera so the replay closely matches the original environment.

-## Variables to consider in object tracking
+### Troubleshooting

- The exported video will not always line up exactly with how it originally ran through Frigate (or even with the last loop). Different frames may be used on replay, which can change detections and tracking.
- Motion detection depends on the frames used; small frame shifts can change motion regions and therefore what gets passed to the detector.
- Object detection is not deterministic: models and post-processing can yield different results across runs, so you may not get identical detections or track IDs every time.
-
-When debugging, treat the replay as a close approximation rather than a byte-for-byte replay. Capture multiple runs, enable recording if helpful, and examine logs and saved event clips to understand variability.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
- No video: verify the path is correct and accessible from the Frigate process/container.
- FFmpeg errors: check the log output for ffmpeg-specific flags and adjust `input_args` accordingly for your file/container. You may also need to disable hardware acceleration (`hwaccel_args: ""`) for the dummy camera.
- No detections: confirm the camera `roles` include `detect`, and model/detector configuration is enabled.
