Fix persisted runtime camera toggles (#23734)
* preserve runtime camera toggles across config saves

Runtime toggles (camera on/off, detect, recordings, snapshots, audio) mutate the in-memory config and persist an override to .runtime_state.json. /api/config/set re-parses yaml into a fresh FrigateConfig and swaps it in, re-applying the yaml and profile layers but dropping the runtime layer, so a camera turned off from the dashboard came back on when an unrelated camera was saved. The workers were never notified, so it only appeared to come back: the UI streamed go2rtc while ffmpeg stayed stopped.

Extract the startup replay into Dispatcher.apply_runtime_state() and call it from config_set after the swap, re-layering the overrides and republishing them so workers and the UI reconverge.

Remove the broad clear_runtime_state() from ProfileManager.update_config, which is only ever reached from config_set: with a profile active, every save wiped every camera's overrides from disk. The broad wipe stays in activate_profile, where a real profile switch does invalidate the steady state. Saves still clear the keys they rewrote via clear_runtime_state_for_yaml_keys, so yaml wins where the two disagree.

* sync runtime config on camera delete and prune its overrides

Deleting a camera re-parsed yaml into a fresh FrigateConfig but only rebound app.frigate_config and genai_manager, never dispatcher.config (nor profile_manager, stats_emitter, or the runtime overrides). The API and the dispatcher then drifted onto different config objects until the next config save re-synced them, so the API reported surviving cameras with their yaml enabled state while the dispatcher still acted on their real runtime state.

Extract the config swap that config_set already does into a shared swap_runtime_config helper and call it from both sites, so every collaborator is rebound and the surviving cameras' runtime toggles are re-layered. Also drop the deleted camera's persisted overrides via a new clear_camera so a camera later added under the same name does not inherit them.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status
English

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
