-#### Embedding models
 
 The `embeddings` role needs a different kind of model. Text queries are matched against the stored image embeddings, so the model must be trained to place images and text into the same vector space. A chat or description model will still return vectors when asked, but those vectors are not trained for retrieval and text searches will return poor matches with no error to indicate why.

 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.

 - `front_door` stream is used by Frigate for viewing, recording, and detection. The `#backchannel=0` parameter prevents go2rtc from establishing the audio output backchannel, so it won't block two-way talk access.
 - `front_door_twoway` stream is used for two-way talk functionality. This stream can be used by Frigate's WebRTC viewer when two-way talk is enabled, or by other applications (like Home Assistant Advanced Camera Card) that need access to the camera's audio output channel.
 
-Any `#` parameter on a bare `rtsp://` source disables the backchannel unless the URL explicitly contains `#backchannel=1`. A two-way talk stream with something like `#video=h264` on it silently loses two-way audio, and Frigate will report that two-way talk is unavailable for that stream.

-### 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.

+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.
-
-## Understanding Frigate's Reported CPU Usage
-
-Frigate's CPU percentages often look much higher than what the host reports. Usually both numbers are correct and are simply measured against different denominators, so confirm you actually have a problem before tuning anything.
-
-### Per-process values are relative to a single core
-
-The values Frigate reports for FFmpeg, capture, detect, detector, and other processes follow the same convention as `top`: 100% means one CPU core is fully saturated, not that the whole system is saturated. A multithreaded process such as FFmpeg can legitimately report well over 100%.
-
-Host and hypervisor tools instead report a percentage of the machine's total capacity across all cores. This includes `docker stats`, the `htop` summary, the Proxmox summary graph, the Unraid dashboard, Synology Resource Monitor, and Home Assistant's system monitor sensors. To reconcile the two:
-
-```
-host percentage ≈ (sum of Frigate's process percentages) / (number of cores)
-```
-
-On a 4 core system, an FFmpeg process reporting 100% is consuming one quarter of the machine, so the host will show roughly 25 to 30% once the remaining Frigate processes are included. That same 100% on a 16 core system is about 6%. Frigate's own warning thresholds use the per-core convention as well, so an FFmpeg process is flagged at 20% of a single core, not 20% of the system.
-
-### Instantaneous samples and averages measure different things
-
-Frigate collects stats every 15 seconds, and the `cpu` value covers only the interval since the previous collection. The `cpu_average` value in the stats API and MQTT payload is the average across the entire life of the process, and it is what the high CPU usage warnings are based on. Host dashboards generally plot data averaged over a longer window, so a single Frigate sample can show a peak that a host graph never displays. A process that has just started, such as FFmpeg after a camera reconnect, reports 0 until it has been sampled twice.
-
-### The system-wide value depends on what the container can see
-
-The system CPU value is read from `/proc/stat`. Under Docker that file belongs to the host, so the value covers the entire machine including workloads unrelated to Frigate, and it will not match `docker stats` for the Frigate container. Under an LXC container, lxcfs virtualizes `/proc/stat` and the value reflects only the cores assigned to the container. In a virtual machine, the guest sees only its assigned vCPUs while the hypervisor divides by every physical thread on the node, so guest and host percentages will not agree even when both are accurate.

-## 3. Reducing Detector CPU Usage
-
-**Priority: High**
-
-The **Detector CPU Usage** metric measures the CPU spent converting frames into the tensor format the model expects and post-processing the model's output. It does not include inference, so this value can be high even when you've configured a GPU, NPU, or Coral for object detection.
-
-This metric scales with how many detections per second Frigate runs and how expensive each one is to prepare. Tuning [motion detection](../configuration/motion_detection) is usually the first recommendation to reduce the number of detections. Additionally, you can:
-
-- **Lower `detect -> fps`.** 5 is the recommended value for nearly all cameras. Running at 10 doubles the frames eligible for detection and is one of the largest contributors to this metric.
-- **Use a 320x320 model.** A 640x640 model has 4 times as many pixels to transpose, convert, and copy on every inference.
-- **Prefer a model that takes integer input.** Models configured with `input_dtype: float` require each frame to be converted to float32 and normalized on the CPU first. Models taking `int` input, such as the tflite models used by the Edge TPU, skip that step.
-- **Do not match the detect resolution to the model resolution.** The detect stream should match your camera's aspect ratio, for example `1280x720`, not the model's input size. Frigate crops and scales regions of motion itself, so an oversized detect stream only adds work.
-- **Tune stationary object behavior.** Objects that never settle into a stationary state are re-detected continuously. Raising `detect -> stationary -> interval` reduces how often detection runs on objects that are already parked. See [stationary objects](../configuration/stationary_objects).
-
-Adding [more detector instances](#multiple-detector-instances) spreads this work across more CPU cores, but does not reduce the total CPU used.

-### How can I rotate my camera's video feed?
-
-Rotation is best done in the camera's firmware settings (usually called rotate, flip, or corridor mode) so the video arrives already rotated and no extra processing is needed. Check there first.
-
-If your camera does not support rotation, go2rtc's ffmpeg module can rotate the stream with the `#rotate` parameter (`90`, `180`, `270`, or `-90`), but this is not recommended: rotation requires transcoding (re-encoding) the video, which significantly increases CPU usage, especially for high resolution streams.

-### What is the `version` key in my config file?
-
-`version` records the config format that your config was last migrated to. On startup Frigate compares it against the format the running version expects, and if it is older it copies your config to `/config/backup_config.yaml`, rewrites it to the new format, and updates `version` as the final step. A config with no `version` key is assumed to predate 0.14 and is migrated from there.
-
-Frigate manages this key for you, so do not set or edit it. Raising it makes Frigate skip migrations your config still needs, and lowering it re-runs migrations against config that has already been converted. Either can leave you with a config that no longer validates.
-
 ### Why does Frigate keep creating new tracked objects for my parked car?
 
 Stationary tracking is designed to _prevent_ this: a parked car should remain a single tracked object rather than generating new ones. If you're repeatedly getting new tracked objects for the same car, it's likely that Frigate is losing the object and re-detecting it as a new one.

-
-Every recording segment is validated before it leaves the cache. Frigate probes each finished `.mp4` in `/tmp/cache` and requires a readable video stream and a valid duration before moving to storage. A segment that fails is deleted, so those ~10 seconds of footage are lost. Three messages come from this check:
-
-- `Invalid or missing video stream in segment <path>. Discarding.` The segment holds no video, or could not be read at all.
-- `Failed to probe corrupt segment <path>` followed by `Discarding a corrupt recording segment: <path>`. The segment was read, but its length could not be determined.
-- `Discarding a corrupt recording segment: <path>` on its own. The segment's length is impossible (empty, or longer than ten minutes), which points at broken timestamps coming from the camera.
-
-For each one, the camera watchdog also logs `Invalid recording segment detected for <camera> at <timestamp>`.
-
-:::warning
-
-This is almost always a **camera or network problem**, not a Frigate one. A segment is only complete once ffmpeg has finished writing it, so anything that interrupts the stream partway through leaves behind a file that cannot be saved. Frigate is reporting the interruption, not causing it.
-
-:::
-
-#### Start with the camera and the network
-
-- **The camera dropped the connection.** Cameras reboot, reinitialize their stream when switching to night mode, and cut clients off when they are overloaded or out of simultaneous connections. Count everything pulling from the camera at once: Frigate's detect and record streams, go2rtc, a phone app, and any other NVR each use one. Routing all roles through a single [RTSP restream](/configuration/restream#reduce-connections-to-camera) so the camera only ever sees one connection often resolves this by itself.
-- **The link to the camera is unreliable.** WiFi cameras, powerline adapters, a saturated uplink, a failing switch port, or a marginal cable all produce this pattern, and usually only on one camera at a time. WiFi cameras are [not recommended](https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/multiple-cameras-high-bandwidth.77100/#post-861110).
-- **The camera cannot reliably send what it is being asked for.** A high bitrate 4K stream can be more than the camera's own hardware can encode and push out under load. Lower the bitrate, or record a lower-resolution profile.
-- **The camera is using a "Smart Codec", H.264+, or H.265+ mode.** These change encoding parameters mid-stream and produce the broken timestamps behind the corrupt-segment variant. Turn the mode off and set the camera's keyframe interval equal to its frame rate. See [Segments are only ~1 second long](#segments-are-only-1-second-long).
-
-Read the rest of the Frigate and/or go2rtc log around the **first** occurrence. When the camera or the network is at fault, other messages show up with it, such as `No frames received from <camera> in 20 seconds`, `Non-monotonic DTS`, `RTP: PT=xx: bad cseq`, `error while decoding MB`, or a connection timeout. Each of those is explained in [Common error messages](/troubleshooting/common_errors). To confirm the camera is the source, open its stream in the [go2rtc web interface](/troubleshooting/go2rtc) on port `1984` or play the same URL in VLC, and leave it running long enough for the failures to happen again.
-
-#### If the camera and network check out
-
-- **Audio the recording cannot store.** Some cameras send G.711 audio, which cannot be saved in an MP4 and stops segments from finalizing. See [Incompatible audio codec](#incompatible-audio-codec-recordings-silently-fail-to-save).
-- **Frigate itself was stopped or restarted.** A single warning per camera around a restart is expected and needs no action.
-- **The system ran out of room or memory.** A full `/tmp/cache`, or the host killing Frigate for using too much memory, cuts off the segment being written. Both leave other errors in the log alongside this one. See [No space left on device](#errno-28-no-space-left-on-device).

-
-When a camera stops producing usable recordings for two minutes, Frigate restarts that camera's record process to try to recover. The wording tells you how far the recordings got:
-
-- **`No new recording segments were created`**: no new segment file showed up in the cache at all, so ffmpeg isn't getting video out of the record stream. The camera is unreachable or refusing the connection, the stream URL, path, or credentials are wrong, or the camera accepted the connection and then sent nothing. See [The record stream isn't connecting](#the-record-stream-isnt-connecting).
-- **`No new valid recording segments were created`** and **`No valid segments created since last invalid segment`**: recordings are arriving, but they keep failing validation, so the camera is sending video that cannot be saved. See [Invalid or missing video stream in segment](#invalid-or-missing-video-stream-in-segment) above.
-
-The restart is Frigate recovering from a problem, not causing one. One of these after a camera reboot or a brief network drop is normal. Seeing them repeat every couple of minutes means the camera or the network is still failing, and the restarts can extend the damage, because each one cuts off the segment that was being written. Work from the earliest failure in that camera's log rather than from the restarts.
