Frigate Config

MDLefevere · July 13, 2022, 12:11pm

Hello,

Can someone explain me what’s wrong with my code?. De identation looks correct to me, but for some reason frigate stops working when i apply this:

cameras:
  Voortuin:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/102/ # <-- 102 Substream
          roles:
            - detect
        - path: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101/ # <-- 101 Mainstream
          roles:
            - clips
    detect:
      width: 640
      height: 480
      fps: 5
    objects:
      track:
        - person
    snapshots:
      enabled: true
      timestamp: false
      bounding_box: true
      retain:
        default: 2
    clips:
      enabled: false
      retain:
        default: 2
      pre_capture: 3
    motion:
      mask:
        - 0,2160,602,2160,820,2035,820,1976,528,1907,304,1740,155,1662,0,1740
        - 2088,692,2210,769,2088,836,1941,851,1944,729

Personally I would drop the capital ‘V’ on the camera name as capitals are generally not a good idea.

But from what I can see you need to remove this section:

OR at least change to this:

   record:
      enabled: false
      retain:
        default: 2
      pre_capture: 3

And then change the 2nd camera path roles from ‘clips’ to ‘record’

Clips is not a valid input at all (think it may have been a while ago - but not any more)

If in doubt check out the full frigate config example here:

Strange. After editing, still nothing.
The clips might be from an older video perhaps.

So far i’ve got this, and a loading page which will give me an error at the end.

cameras:
  voortuin:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:

            - detect
        - path: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101/ # <-- 101 mainstream
          roles:
            - record
    detect:
      width: 640
      height: 480
      fps: 5
    objects:

rossk · July 13, 2022, 2:01pm

OK, can you post up the error logs from frigate as that will be the key to what it is not happy about?

Try this:

MDLefevere · July 13, 2022, 2:30pm

Still no luck
It doesn’t like the snapshots part with the retain: default: 2

rossk · July 13, 2022, 2:33pm

TYPO on my behalf, this section should be:

    record:
      enabled: false
      retain:
        default: 2 
	  events:
		pre_capture: 3

rossk · July 13, 2022, 2:35pm

I see no issues with the section of yaml, you have now posted, can you correct the above as per my typo, reload frigate and post up your full frigate.yaml and the current error logs once restarted?

Ok well look at the configuration on the page I linked for you, it appears that under record, retain you list days and under event retain you list default.

That’s your issue

tmjpugh · July 13, 2022, 4:27pm

Not sure if it matters but you didn’t double space default under recordings

EDIT

“extra fields not permitted” Usually means you have have something that does not belong or indent/punctuation error I believe

MDLefevere · July 13, 2022, 6:02pm

I think it’s working now:

cameras:
  voortuin:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/102/ # <-- 102 substream

      timestamp: false

Still don’t know exactly were it went wrong, but the feed’s are what they supposed to be

MDLefevere · July 13, 2022, 9:10pm

So apparently i was wrong.
In a strange way it now doesn’t record or snapshot anythiny.

Any advise on what could be wrong in my last config post?

tmjpugh · July 14, 2022, 1:15am

Are there errors still?

If yes, must fix error cause

If no, verify the global record settings in config allow recording as you desire. 24/7 or motion only. Then verify any specific record config for each camera. If nothing set it will use global.

Regarding snapshot that could be related to detect settings. If it not detect it not snapshot if I remember correctly.

MDLefevere · July 14, 2022, 6:17am

Hi tmjpugh,

There are no errors anymore.
Late night i cheched the masks once more, and saw after changing detect from my 4k mainstream to my 640 substream the full screen was masked

Recording seems to work good now, as i was recorded leaving the house in full 4k.

The only thing i struggling with now is the fact that the “Snapshots” are also taken in 640x480

tmjpugh · July 14, 2022, 6:36am

Yeah
It uses detect role and the low res is horrible. I think I tried high res detect and ran into issues(inference speed) but really cant remember

MDLefevere · July 14, 2022, 6:46am

Ah that’s to bad.
My inference speed is now at around a constant 8, but those snaptshots are awefull… Almost useless… Would be nice if the snapshots could be taken from the record stream.

crzynik · July 14, 2022, 9:30pm

This is difficult since the streams can be out of sync and it won’t be the same moment. Also taking snapshots requires decoding the stream which will require a lot of CPU resources to decode both streams for every camera.

The middle solution is to use the 4k stream for detect but to set the resolution in

detect:
  width: half-4k
  height: half-4k

this will use more CPU but inference speeds shouldn’t be affected and the snapshots will be higher quality

tmjpugh · July 14, 2022, 11:06pm

I did not realize it was possible to scale down detect input. I thought this was actual resolution not just preferred. Amazing!!!
