+  Every new feature adds scope that maintainers must test, maintain, and support long-term.

+# 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

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

+This section can be used to set environment variables for those unable to modify the environment of the container, like within Home Assistant OS. Docker users should set environment variables in their `docker run` command (`-e FRIGATE_MQTT_PASSWORD=secret`) or `docker-compose.yml` file (`environment:` section) instead. Note that values set here are stored in plain text in your config file, so if the goal is to keep credentials out of your configuration, use Docker environment variables or Docker secrets instead.

+Variables prefixed with `FRIGATE_` can be referenced in config fields that support environment variable substitution (such as MQTT host and credentials, camera stream URLs, and ONVIF host and credentials) using the `{FRIGATE_VARIABLE_NAME}` syntax.
 
 Example:
 
 ```yaml
 environment_vars:
-  VARIABLE_NAME: variable_value

+IPv6 is disabled by default, to enable IPv6 modify your Frigate configuration as follows:
 
-```
-{{ if not .enabled }}
-# intended for external traffic, protected by auth
-listen 8971;
-{{ else }}
-# intended for external traffic, protected by auth
-listen 8971 ssl;

-# intended for external traffic, protected by auth
-listen [::]:8971 ipv6only=off;
-{{ else }}
-# intended for external traffic, protected by auth
-listen [::]:8971 ipv6only=off ssl;
+You can change the ports Nginx uses for listening using Frigate's configuration file. The internal port (unauthenticated) and external port (authenticated) can be changed independently. You can also specify an IP address using the format `ip:port` if you wish to bind the port to a specific interface. This may be useful for example to prevent exposing the internal port outside the container.
 
-# intended for internal traffic, not protected by auth
-listen [::]:5000 ipv6only=off;

+    external: 8971
 ```
 
+:::warning
+
+This setting is for advanced users. For the majority of use cases it's recommended to change the `ports` section of your Docker compose file or use the Docker `run` `--publish` option instead, e.g. `-p 443:8971`. Changing Frigate's ports may break some integrations.

 By default, Frigate runs at the root path (`/`). However some setups require to run Frigate under a custom path prefix (e.g. `/frigate`), especially when Frigate is located behind a reverse proxy that requires path-based routing.

-### Model Types: Instruct vs Thinking
-
-Most vision-language models are available as **instruct** models, which are fine-tuned to follow instructions and respond concisely to prompts. However, some models (such as certain Qwen-VL or minigpt variants) offer both **instruct** and **thinking** versions.
-
-- **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.
-- **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, Frigate will always use instruct-style prompts and specifically disables thinking-mode behaviors to ensure concise, useful responses.
-
-**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.
-
-### 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, Ollama will try to download the model but it may take longer than the timeout, it is recommended to pull the model beforehand by running `ollama pull your_model` on your Ollama server/Docker container.

 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).

 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.

-
    - 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.

 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)).
    - Check go2rtc configuration for transcoding (e.g., audio to AAC/OPUS).

+
+Both motion masks and object filter masks can be toggled on or off without removing them from the configuration. Disabled masks are completely ignored at runtime - they will not affect motion detection or object filtering. This is useful for temporarily disabling a mask during certain seasons or times of day without modifying the configuration.

+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.
+
 :::warning
 
-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.

+```yaml
+motion:
+  # Optional: Fraction of the frame that must change in a single update
+  #           before Frigate will completely ignore any motion in that frame.
+  #           Values range between 0.0 and 1.0, leave unset (null) to disable.
+  #           Setting this to 0.7 would cause Frigate to **skip** reporting
+  #           motion boxes when more than 70% of the image appears to change
+  #           (e.g. during lightning storms, IR/color mode switches, or other
+  #           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.

+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

+| `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
+
+cameras:
+  front_door:
+    ffmpeg:
+      inputs:
+        - path: rtsp://camera:554/stream
+          roles:
+            - detect
+            - record
+    detect:
+      enabled: true
+    record:
+      enabled: true
+    notifications:
+      enabled: false
+    profiles:
+      away:
+        notifications:
+          enabled: true
+        review:
+          alerts:
+            labels:
+              - person
+              - car
+      home:
+        notifications:
+          enabled: false
+
+  indoor_cam:
+    ffmpeg:
+      inputs:
+        - path: rtsp://camera:554/indoor
+          roles:
+            - detect
+            - record
+    detect:
+      enabled: false
+    record:
+      enabled: false
+    profiles:
+      away:
+        enabled: true
+        detect:
+          enabled: true
+        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.
+- **No profile active**: All cameras use their base configuration values.

+## 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.
 
 :::warning
 
-The sync operation uses considerable CPU resources and in most cases is not needed, only enable when necessary.
+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.

+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:
+
+```yaml
+genai:
+  default:
+    provider: llamacpp
+    base_url: http://localhost:8080
+    model: your-model-name
+    roles:
+      - embeddings
+      - vision
+      - tools
+
+semantic_search:
+  enabled: True
+  model: default
+```
+
+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.
+
+:::note
+
+Switching between Jina models and a GenAI provider requires reindexing. Embeddings from different backends are incompatible.

 ### GPU Acceleration
 
 The CLIP models are downloaded in ONNX format, and the `large` model can be accelerated using GPU hardware, when available. This depends on the Docker build that is used. You can also target a specific device in a multi-GPU installation.

+## Frame Selection
+
+Frigate does not save every frame. It picks a single "best" frame for each tracked object based on detection confidence, object size, and the presence of key attributes like faces or license plates. Frames where the object touches the edge of the frame are deprioritized. That best frame is written to disk once tracking ends.
+
+MQTT snapshots are published more frequently — each time a better thumbnail frame is found during tracking, or when the current best image is older than `best_image_timeout` (default: 60s). These use their own annotation settings configured under `cameras -> your_camera -> mqtt`.

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

 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.

 #### SSDs (Solid State Drives)
 
 SSDs are an excellent choice for Frigate, offering high speed and responsiveness. The older concern that SSDs would quickly "wear out" from constant video recording is largely no longer valid for modern consumer and enterprise-grade SSDs.

 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`:

-## Steps
+### Steps
 
 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.

-## 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.
