Need help for configuration frigate

Hello,

I’m having some issues with Frigate that make its use unpleasant for me. I’m getting multiple false positives with the “in progress” status, which spam me with messages. How can I avoid these false positives? Additionally, I’d like to add a visible timestamp on the photo when sending. How can I display it? (I’ve already managed to display the boxes).

Thank you.

Firstly put motion masks over those areas.

add

 timestamp: true 

to your camera conifg.

I already have :

CAM-SALON:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://xxxx@xxx:554/ch0_0.h264
          roles:
            - detect
            - rtmp
    objects:
      filters:
        person:
           mask:
             - 275,923,656,928,770,687,789,653,580,474,229,658
             - 1601,425,1822,481,1800,734,1574,605
      track:
        - person
        #- dog
        
    detect:
      width: 1920
      height: 1080
  
    snapshots:
      enabled: true
      clean_copy: True
      retain:
        default: 15
      timestamp: true
      bounding_box: true

    timestamp_style: 
      position: "tl"
      format: "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"
      thickness: 2

    mqtt:
      enabled: True
      timestamp: True
      bounding_box: True

motion masks are not meant to be used for this, this is highly discouraged in the docs

The default model is trained on the COCO dataset which does not look like security camera examples. Here are a few examples

Frigate offers many filters for reducing false positives and on this camera unfortunately these are similar size and shape to that of a person. You may find better results increasing the threshold a bit for this camera

How can I use it so ?

I don’t understand the question

How should i use it?

motion masks are meant to be used to block out areas that will have motion not due to detectable objects, like clouds in the sky, timestamps, large trees, etc.
