did you ever figure this out? also couldnt find the issue if you made one. i am also seeing memory issues.
Yes, it was fixed. Please see: [Support]: RAM Usage Increases Linearly Over Time · Issue #4006 · blakeblackshear/frigate · GitHub
Even though I have an 8th generation Intel CPU, the fix is changing the hardware acceleration to “Intel-based CPUs (>=10th Generation) via Quicksync”:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: -c:v h264_qsv
you put that in config.yaml correct?
No, it goes in frigate.yml file, specific to each camera, not the main conguration.yaml file. I posted my original frigate.yml in the GitHub issue (though not after making the change).
I enabled GPU decoding on my Intel i5 (5th gen) after a lot of tests, it works only with Frigate standard (“full access” don’t work with any configuration):
I put this code in frigate.yml:
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args:
- -hwaccel
- vaapi
- -hwaccel_device
- /dev/dri/renderD128
- -hwaccel_output_format
- yuv420p
output_args:
detect: -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -filter:v fps=fps=5

Hello everyone,
If there is a definite guide on how to successfully run and use it on Nvidia Jetson Nano 4GB and use GPU - I am eager to hear it.
Thanks
I run HAOS and have now moved over to running Frigate in Docker on a separate machine, using the Frigate Proxy add-on, to get around the limitation of not being able to use a separate HDD with the regular add-on.
Works great but, is there a way to connect the HA Studio Code Server add-on to the remote machine running Frigate, in order to more easily edit the frigate.yml file?
Also, is there an easy way to restart Frigate on the remote machine (after changing the config file) from HA rather than SSHing into the remote machine to do it?
Thanks!
Frigate UI has 3 dots at upper right of screen. There you will find “Restart Frigate”.
Not sure if it works as advertised but worth a try.
A month or so ago I tried very hard to do this without success. I think it’s possible but requires some deeper knowledge.
You can restart from frigate itself. I find it works most of the time. Occasionally it hangs or shits down instead of restarting
Have you upgraded your firmware recently for your Reolink-810a?
I see Reolink has released firmware v 8.1.x this year. Do you know if the newer versions include the ‘fix’ you mention to downgrade the quality to h264? Or are you still on the v3.0.0.236_21040831
Hey,
nope, that was very old post. Reolink was amazing in developing and implementing the requests from the communicty.
I’m on the latest firmware version which automatically change the codec from h.265 to h.264 when you lower the resolution:
- Firmware Version: v3.1.0.956_22041503
I wrote it here: Local realtime person detection for RTSP cameras - #6085 by palito
Any advice for getting them to offer a toggle for the duo 2? it only does h.265 currently on the higher res stream
I have remote mount of SMB and frigate addon is storing all the data to network storage
Glad to know I can turn on dog and cat for cyote and bobcat. But I do wish we could find deer and racoons and coyotes too.
I’m now using blue iris with 2x4MP and 4x 8MP cams on a dedicated i7 windows PC. Working fine but thinking of changing this to Frigate with the objective to get person/face recognition, better integration in HASS and lastly to save energy.
After reading many many posts still not sure about the best way forward when it comes to setup.
I’m now running HASOSS on an intel NUC 6cayh (Celeron 3455) with a 128gb m.2 ssd. I’m getting my Coral next week. I don’t use a NAS and as far as I understand I can’t add an extra drive in HASSOS. My main questions:
- With 6 cams (2x4MP, 4x 8MP): Can this run well together with HASS?
- If so, storage seems my biggest concern; I want to store few weeks of clips which is not possible on 128GB.
- In that case can I best a) replace my m.2 SSD with a 2TB one and then run all on the existing NUC? or b) get another dedicated NUC (eg a J4125 based machine) with a decent 2TB 2.5” drive that only runs frigate and then integrates with the frigate proxy on my existing NUC (basically not changing anything on my current HASSOS machine) .
Money is not the biggest issue. Just want the best stable setup.
Any other recommendations are welcome.
I think SSD will be killed fast when you have recording 24/7.
I would suggest NAS as i am doing it at my 2 instances. All of them have NAS for media storage
Has anyone been able to successfully upload clips from events to the cloud for backup ?
In the current version, clips are not separate files
I notice using the frigate-proxy, I can see all the clips in the Media browser, but unsure how to get them out and uploaded in an automated fashion

For your DS220+, did you have the add the
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
…environment variable to your docker compose? I tried adding it and removing it and didn’t notice much of a difference. Looking up the CPU on the 220+, I’m fairly certain we’re 9th gen…?
I did add it, and its working fine, haven’t run tests to see what the differences are though yet
I use the sub for detection and main for recording, but only certain browsers will play back the H265 video.
