Local realtime person detection for RTSP cameras

I’ve tried all possible combinations of restarting, rebuilding, unplugging… but no joy. I’ll keep on trying until someone smarter than I finds a more structured approach. :wink:

Did you turn off protection mode?

Anyone have any thoughts on how to monitor and free the media disc from the oldest recording files as it fills up? Currently Frigate only allows to set the number of retention days, but it’s hard to predict how much camera recordings will take up space.


I have 5 HD cams and retain_days: 4 for recording. Media partition 700GB

It found the TPU straight away! Thanks Blake.

Disabled protection mode, unplugged coral and restarted a few times (had network issues with camera) but I’m up and running again.

Really appreciate the support.

Does protection mode need to be turned off due to the new config being outside the addon?

@blakeblackshear I dont see a donate button here or on GitHub nor the docs?

found it… well something I never saw before…:

I think in his next version he is working on showing disk usage stats (among many more cool things!): https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/pull/686

This is great news. Based on your post and previous posts of yours, I removed the mask, added in zones in the hope that object detections would speed up but I was getting flooded with clips/snapshots form away up the street.

Great News! Thanks

PS. The delay is 2 seconds on my front camera and 4 seconds on my garden camera.

Cant wait for 0.8.2 … All the commits I’ve seen on github are impressive!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try passing it as a variable to the script: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/#passing-variables-to-scripts

I have been reading that for an hour now but I don’t understand how to do it if the {{trigger.payload_json["after"]["label"]}} is in multiple parts of the script - and not just a simple message:

Installed addon but not getting option to add config via addon as described i step 3 here:

What am I missing?

This would have been nice to see in the changelog. Thankfully notepad++ autosaves and I had copied/pasted the config into there when moving from the beta to stable or I’d have lost my entire config.

Well so much for consistency…see what happens when you think! :upside_down_face:

It was in the addon changelog.

The supervisor changes from homeassistant would have caused your entire config to be deleted anyway. Nothing I could do about it.

Edit: I switched from beta to stable and when doing so did not turn off protection mode. I swear it was working with it on earlier, but I doubt it. Working now.

Having a tough time recently on the Odroid N2+. Recently it fails ffmpeg and then loses the usb. Any ideas?

Here’s logs after unplug/restart:

It’s not valid since the last supervisor update. Create a file named frigate.yml with your configuration , save it in your home assistant folder.

Your USB coral wasn’t available at start time

Is protection on or off?
It needs to be off.

Then restart addon.

If that fails.

Remove addon

Reboot host machine

Reimstall addon and disable protection
