+- **Compatibility:** To indicate that your product or project works with the software (e.g., _"MyPlugin for Frigate NVR"_ or _"Compatible with Frigate"_).
+- **Commentary:** In news articles, blog posts, or tutorials discussing the software.
+
+## 4. Prohibited Use
+
+You may **NOT** use the Marks in the following ways:
+
+- **Commercial Products:** You may not use "Frigate" in the name of a commercial product, service, or app (e.g., selling an app named _"Frigate Viewer"_ is prohibited).
+- **Implying Affiliation:** You may not use the Marks in a way that suggests your project is official, sponsored by, or endorsed by Frigate LLC.
+- **Confusing Forks:** If you fork this repository to create a derivative work, you **must** remove the Frigate logo and rename your project to avoid user confusion. You cannot distribute a modified version of the software under the name "Frigate".
+- **Domain Names:** You may not register domain names containing "Frigate" that are likely to confuse users (e.g., `frigate-official-support.com`).
+
+## 5. The Logo
+
+The Frigate logo (the bird icon) is a visual trademark.
+
+- You generally **cannot** use the logo on your own website or product packaging without permission.
+- If you are building a dashboard or integration that interfaces with Frigate, you may use the logo only to represent the Frigate node/service, provided it does not imply you _are_ Frigate.
+
+## 6. Questions & Permissions
+
+If you are unsure if your intended use violates this policy, or if you wish to request a specific license to use the Marks (e.g., for a partnership), please contact us at:

 ### Audio Transcription
 
-Frigate supports fully local audio transcription using either `sherpa-onnx` or OpenAI’s open-source Whisper models via `faster-whisper`. To enable transcription, it is recommended to only configure the features at the global level, and enable it at the individual camera level.
+Frigate supports fully local audio transcription using either `sherpa-onnx` or OpenAI’s open-source Whisper models via `faster-whisper`. The goal of this feature is to support Semantic Search for `speech` audio events. Frigate is not intended to act as a continuous, fully-automatic speech transcription service — automatically transcribing all speech (or queuing many audio events for transcription) requires substantial CPU (or GPU) resources and is impractical on most systems. For this reason, transcriptions for events are initiated manually from the UI or the API rather than being run continuously in the background.
+
+Transcription accuracy also depends heavily on the quality of your camera's microphone and recording conditions. Many cameras use inexpensive microphones, and distance to the speaker, low audio bitrate, or background noise can significantly reduce transcription quality. If you need higher accuracy, more robust long-running queues, or large-scale automatic transcription, consider using the HTTP API in combination with an automation platform and a cloud transcription service.
+
+#### Configuration
+
+To enable transcription, enable it in your config. Note that audio detection must also be enabled as described above in order to use audio transcription features.
 
 ```yaml
 audio_transcription:
-  enabled: False
+  enabled: True
   device: ...

+
+#### FAQ
+
+1. Why doesn't Frigate automatically transcribe all `speech` events?
+
+   Frigate does not implement a queue mechanism for speech transcription, and adding one is not trivial. A proper queue would need backpressure, prioritization, memory/disk buffering, retry logic, crash recovery, and safeguards to prevent unbounded growth when events outpace processing. That’s a significant amount of complexity for a feature that, in most real-world environments, would mostly just churn through low-value noise.
+
+   Because transcription is **serialized (one event at a time)** and speech events can be generated far faster than they can be processed, an auto-transcribe toggle would very quickly create an ever-growing backlog and degrade core functionality. For the amount of engineering and risk involved, it adds **very little practical value** for the majority of deployments, which are often on low-powered, edge hardware.
+
+   If you hear speech that’s actually important and worth saving/indexing for the future, **just press the transcribe button in Explore** on that specific `speech` event - that keeps things explicit, reliable, and under your control.
+
+   Other options are being considered for future versions of Frigate to add transcription options that support external `whisper` Docker containers. A single transcription service could then be shared by Frigate and other applications (for example, Home Assistant Voice), and run on more powerful machines when available.
+
+2. Why don't you save live transcription text and use that for `speech` events?
+
+   There’s no guarantee that a `speech` event is even created from the exact audio that went through the transcription model. Live transcription and `speech` event creation are **separate, asynchronous processes**. Even when both are correctly configured, trying to align the **precise start and end time of a speech event** with whatever audio the model happened to be processing at that moment is unreliable.
+
+   Automatically persisting that data would often result in **misaligned, partial, or irrelevant transcripts**, while still incurring all of the CPU, storage, and privacy costs of transcription. That’s why Frigate treats transcription as an **explicit, user-initiated action** rather than an automatic side-effect of every `speech` event.

+Classes are the categories your model will learn to distinguish between. Each class represents a distinct visual category that the model will predict.

+- Define classes that represent different types or attributes of the detected object
+- Examples: For `person` objects, classes might be `delivery_person`, `resident`, `stranger`

+Creating and training the model is done within the Frigate UI using the `Classification` page. The process consists of two steps:
 
-### Getting Started
+### Step 1: Name and Define
+
+Enter a name for your model, select the object label to classify (e.g., `person`, `dog`, `car`), choose the classification type (sub label or attribute), and define your classes. Include a `none` class for objects that don't fit any specific category.
+
+### Step 2: Assign Training Examples
+
+The system will automatically generate example images from detected objects matching your selected label.

+- **Selecting training images**: Images scoring below 100% due to new conditions (e.g., first snow of the year, seasonal changes) or variations (e.g., objects temporarily in view, insects at night) are good candidates for training, as they represent scenarios different from the default state. Training these lower-scoring images that differ from existing training data helps prevent overfitting.

 The Frigate considers the recognition scores across all recognition attempts for each person object.

 Review summaries provide structured JSON responses that are saved for each review item:
 
 ```
-- `scene` (string): A full description including setting, entities, actions, and any plausible supported inferences.
-- `confidence` (float): 0-1 confidence in the analysis.
+- `title` (string): A concise, direct title that describes the purpose or overall action (e.g., "Person taking out trash", "Joe walking dog").
+- `scene` (string): A narrative description of what happens across the sequence from start to finish, including setting, detected objects, and their observable actions.
+- `confidence` (float): 0-1 confidence in the analysis. Higher confidence when objects/actions are clearly visible and context is unambiguous.
 - `other_concerns` (list): List of user-defined concerns that may need additional investigation.
 - `potential_threat_level` (integer): 0, 1, or 2 as defined below.
-
-Threat-level definitions:
-- 0 — Typical or expected activity for this location/time (includes residents, guests, or known animals engaged in normal activities, even if they glance around or scan surroundings).
-- 1 — Unusual or suspicious activity: At least one security-relevant behavior is present **and not explainable by a normal residential activity**.
-- 2 — Active or immediate threat: Breaking in, vandalism, aggression, weapon display.
 ```
 
-This will show in the UI as a list of concerns that each review item has along with the general description.
+This will show in multiple places in the UI to give additional context about each activity, and allow viewing more details when extra attention is required. Frigate's built in notifications will also automatically show the title and description when the data is available.
+
+### Defining Typical Activity
+
+Each installation and even camera can have different parameters for what is considered suspicious activity. Frigate allows the `activity_context_prompt` to be defined globally and at the camera level, which allows you to define more specifically what should be considered normal activity. It is important that this is not overly specific as it can sway the output of the response.
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Default Activity Context Prompt</summary>
+
+```
+### Normal Activity Indicators (Level 0)
+- Known/verified people in any zone at any time
+- People with pets in residential areas
+- Deliveries or services during daytime/evening (6 AM - 10 PM): carrying packages to doors/porches, placing items, leaving
+- Services/maintenance workers with visible tools, uniforms, or service vehicles during daytime
+- Activity confined to public areas only (sidewalks, streets) without entering property at any time
+
+### Suspicious Activity Indicators (Level 1)
+- **Testing or attempting to open doors/windows/handles on vehicles or buildings** — ALWAYS Level 1 regardless of time or duration
+- **Unidentified person in private areas (driveways, near vehicles/buildings) during late night/early morning (11 PM - 5 AM)** — ALWAYS Level 1 regardless of activity or duration
+- Taking items that don't belong to them (packages, objects from porches/driveways)
+- Climbing or jumping fences/barriers to access property
+- Attempting to conceal actions or items from view
+- Prolonged loitering: remaining in same area without visible purpose throughout most of the sequence
+
+### Critical Threat Indicators (Level 2)
+- Holding break-in tools (crowbars, pry bars, bolt cutters)
+- Weapons visible (guns, knives, bats used aggressively)
+- Forced entry in progress
+- Physical aggression or violence
+- Active property damage or theft in progress
+
+### Assessment Guidance
+Evaluate in this order:
+
+1. **If person is verified/known** → Level 0 regardless of time or activity
+2. **If person is unidentified:**
+   - Check time: If late night/early morning (11 PM - 5 AM) AND in private areas (driveways, near vehicles/buildings) → Level 1
+   - Check actions: If testing doors/handles, taking items, climbing → Level 1
+   - Otherwise, if daytime/evening (6 AM - 10 PM) with clear legitimate purpose (delivery, service worker) → Level 0
+3. **Escalate to Level 2 if:** Weapons, break-in tools, forced entry in progress, violence, or active property damage visible (escalates from Level 0 or 1)
+
+The mere presence of an unidentified person in private areas during late night hours is inherently suspicious and warrants human review, regardless of what activity they appear to be doing or how brief the sequence is.
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Image Source
+
+By default, review summaries use preview images (cached preview frames) which have a lower resolution but use fewer tokens per image. For better image quality and more detailed analysis, you can configure Frigate to extract frames directly from recordings at a higher resolution:
+
+```yaml
+review:
+  genai:
+    enabled: true
+    image_source: recordings # Options: "preview" (default) or "recordings"
+```
+
+When using `recordings`, frames are extracted at 480px height while maintaining the camera's original aspect ratio, providing better detail for the LLM while being mindful of context window size. This is particularly useful for scenarios where fine details matter, such as identifying license plates, reading text, or analyzing distant objects.
+
+The number of frames sent to the LLM is dynamically calculated based on:
+
+- Your LLM provider's context window size
+- The camera's resolution and aspect ratio (ultrawide cameras like 32:9 use more tokens per image)
+- The image source (recordings use more tokens than preview images)
+
+Frame counts are automatically optimized to use ~98% of the available context window while capping at 20 frames maximum to ensure reasonable inference times. Note that using recordings will:
+
+- Provide higher quality images to the LLM (480p vs 180p preview images)
+- Use more tokens per image due to higher resolution
+- Result in fewer frames being sent for ultrawide cameras due to larger image size
+- Require that recordings are enabled for the camera
+
+If recordings are not available for a given time period, the system will automatically fall back to using preview frames.

 As a starting point to check compatibility for your camera, view the list of cameras supported for two-way talk on the [go2rtc repository](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#two-way-audio). For cameras in the category `ONVIF Profile T`, you can use the [ONVIF Conformant Products Database](https://www.onvif.org/conformant-products/)'s FeatureList to check for the presence of `AudioOutput`. A camera that supports `ONVIF Profile T` _usually_ supports this, but due to inconsistent support, a camera that explicitly lists this feature may still not work. If no entry for your camera exists on the database, it is recommended not to buy it or to consult with the manufacturer's support on the feature availability.

+### Live player error messages
+
+When your browser runs into problems playing back your camera streams, it will log short error messages to the browser console. They indicate playback, codec, or network issues on the client/browser side, not something server side with Frigate itself. Below are the common messages you may see and simple actions you can take to try to resolve them.
+
+- **startup**
+
+  - What it means: The player failed to initialize or connect to the live stream (network or startup error).
+  - What to try: Reload the Live view or click _Reset_. Verify `go2rtc` is running and the camera stream is reachable. Try switching to a different stream from the Live UI dropdown (if available) or use a different browser.
+
+  - Possible console messages from the player code:
+
+    - `Error opening MediaSource.`
+    - `Browser reported a network error.`
+    - `Max error count ${errorCount} exceeded.` (the numeric value will vary)
+
+- **mse-decode**
+
+  - What it means: The browser reported a decoding error while trying to play the stream, which usually is a result of a codec incompatibility or corrupted frames.
+  - What to try: Check the browser console for the supported and negotiated codecs. Ensure your camera/restream is using H.264 video and AAC audio (these are the most compatible). If your camera uses a non-standard audio codec, configure `go2rtc` to transcode the stream to AAC. Try another browser (some browsers have stricter MSE/codec support) and, for iPhone, ensure you're on iOS 17.1 or newer.
+
+  - Possible console messages from the player code:
+
+    - `Safari cannot open MediaSource.`
+    - `Safari reported InvalidStateError.`
+    - `Safari reported decoding errors.`
+
+- **stalled**
+
+  - What it means: Playback has stalled because the player has fallen too far behind live (extended buffering or no data arriving).
+  - What to try: This is usually indicative of the browser struggling to decode too many high-resolution streams at once. Try selecting a lower-bandwidth stream (substream), reduce the number of live streams open, improve the network connection, or lower the camera resolution. Also check your camera's keyframe (I-frame) interval — shorter intervals make playback start and recover faster. You can also try increasing the timeout value in the UI pane of Frigate's settings.
+
+  - Possible console messages from the player code:
+
+    - `Buffer time (10 seconds) exceeded, browser may not be playing media correctly.`

 7. **My camera streams have lots of visual artifacts / distortion.**
 
    Some cameras don't include the hardware to support multiple connections to the high resolution stream, and this can cause unexpected behavior. In this case it is recommended to [restream](./restream.md) the high resolution stream so that it can be used for live view and recordings.
+
+8. **Why does my camera stream switch aspect ratios on the Live dashboard?**
+
+   Your camera may change aspect ratios on the dashboard because Frigate uses different streams for different purposes. With go2rtc and Smart Streaming, Frigate shows a static image from the `detect` stream when no activity is present, and switches to the live stream when motion is detected. The camera image will change size if your streams use different aspect ratios.
+
+   To prevent this, make the `detect` stream match the go2rtc live stream's aspect ratio (resolution does not need to match, just the aspect ratio). You can either adjust the camera's output resolution or set the `width` and `height` values in your config's `detect` section to a resolution with an aspect ratio that matches.
+
+   Example: Resolutions from two streams
+
+   - Mismatched (may cause aspect ratio switching on the dashboard):
+
+     - Live/go2rtc stream: 1920x1080 (16:9)
+     - Detect stream: 640x352 (~1.82:1, not 16:9)
+
+   - Matched (prevents switching):
+     - Live/go2rtc stream: 1920x1080 (16:9)
+     - Detect stream: 640x360 (16:9)
+
+   You can update the detect settings in your camera config to match the aspect ratio of your go2rtc live stream. For example:
+
+   ```yaml
+   cameras:
+     front_door:
+       detect:
+         width: 640
+         height: 360 # set this to 360 instead of 352
+       ffmpeg:
+         inputs:

You can also connect directly to DeGirum's AI Hub to run inferences. **Please Note:** This detector _cannot_ be used for commercial purposes.
 
 ### Configuration
 
 #### AI Server Inference
 
 Before starting with the config file for this section, you must first launch an AI server. DeGirum has an AI server ready to use as a docker container. Add this to your `docker-compose.yml` to get started:
+
 ```yaml
 degirum_detector:
-    container_name: degirum
-    image: degirum/aiserver:latest
-    privileged: true
-    ports:
-      - "8778:8778"
+  container_name: degirum
+  image: degirum/aiserver:latest
+  privileged: true
+  ports:
+    - "8778:8778"
 ```
+
 All supported hardware will automatically be found on your AI server host as long as relevant runtimes and drivers are properly installed on your machine. Refer to [DeGirum's docs site](https://docs.degirum.com/pysdk/runtimes-and-drivers) if you have any trouble.
 
 Once completed, changing the `config.yml` file is simple.
+
 ```yaml
 degirum_detector:
-    type: degirum
-    location: degirum # Set to service name (degirum_detector), container_name (degirum), or a host:port (192.168.29.4:8778)
-    zoo: degirum/public # DeGirum's public model zoo. Zoo name should be in format "workspace/zoo_name". degirum/public is available to everyone, so feel free to use it if you don't know where to start. If you aren't pulling a model from the AI Hub, leave this and 'token' blank.
-    token: dg_example_token # For authentication with the AI Hub. Get this token through the "tokens" section on the main page of the [AI Hub](https://hub.degirum.com). This can be left blank if you're pulling a model from the public zoo and running inferences on your local hardware using @local or a local DeGirum AI Server
-```
-Setting up a model in the `config.yml` is similar to setting up an AI server.
-You can set it to:
-- A model listed on the [AI Hub](https://hub.degirum.com), given that the correct zoo name is listed in your detector
-    - If this is what you choose to do, the correct model will be downloaded onto your machine before running.
-- A local directory acting as a zoo. See DeGirum's docs site [for more information](https://docs.degirum.com/pysdk/user-guide-pysdk/organizing-models#model-zoo-directory-structure).
-- A path to some model.json.
-```yaml

 ```
 
+Setting up a model in the `config.yml` is similar to setting up an AI server.
+You can set it to:
+
+- A model listed on the [AI Hub](https://hub.degirum.com), given that the correct zoo name is listed in your detector
+  - If this is what you choose to do, the correct model will be downloaded onto your machine before running.
+- A local directory acting as a zoo. See DeGirum's docs site [for more information](https://docs.degirum.com/pysdk/user-guide-pysdk/organizing-models#model-zoo-directory-structure).
+- A path to some model.json.
+
+```yaml
+model:
+  path: ./mobilenet_v2_ssd_coco--300x300_quant_n2x_orca1_1 # directory to model .json and file
+  width: 300 # width is in the model name as the first number in the "int"x"int" section
+  height: 300 # height is in the model name as the second number in the "int"x"int" section
+  input_pixel_format: rgb/bgr # look at the model.json to figure out which to put here
+```
 
 #### Local Inference
 
 It is also possible to eliminate the need for an AI server and run the hardware directly. The benefit of this approach is that you eliminate any bottlenecks that occur when transferring prediction results from the AI server docker container to the frigate one. However, the method of implementing local inference is different for every device and hardware combination, so it's usually more trouble than it's worth. A general guideline to achieve this would be:
+
 1. Ensuring that the frigate docker container has the runtime you want to use. So for instance, running `@local` for Hailo means making sure the container you're using has the Hailo runtime installed.
 2. To double check the runtime is detected by the DeGirum detector, make sure the `degirum sys-info` command properly shows whatever runtimes you mean to install.
 3. Create a DeGirum detector in your `config.yml` file.
 
 ```yaml
 degirum_detector:
-    type: degirum
-    location: "@local" # For accessing AI Hub devices and models
-    zoo: degirum/public # DeGirum's public model zoo. Zoo name should be in format "workspace/zoo_name". degirum/public is available to everyone, so feel free to use it if you don't know where to start.
-    token: dg_example_token # For authentication with the AI Hub. Get this token through the "tokens" section on the main page of the [AI Hub](https://hub.degirum.com). This can be left blank if you're pulling a model from the public zoo and running inferences on your local hardware using @local or a local DeGirum AI Server
-
+  type: degirum
+  location: "@local" # For accessing AI Hub devices and models
+  zoo: degirum/public # DeGirum's public model zoo. Zoo name should be in format "workspace/zoo_name". degirum/public is available to everyone, so feel free to use it if you don't know where to start.
+  token: dg_example_token # For authentication with the AI Hub. Get this token through the "tokens" section on the main page of the [AI Hub](https://hub.degirum.com). This can be left blank if you're pulling a model from the public zoo and running inferences on your local hardware using @local or a local DeGirum AI Server
 ```
 
 Once `degirum_detector` is setup, you can choose a model through 'model' section in the `config.yml` file.
 
 ```yaml
 model:
-    path: mobilenet_v2_ssd_coco--300x300_quant_n2x_orca1_1
-    width: 300 # width is in the model name as the first number in the "int"x"int" section
-    height: 300 # height is in the model name as the second number in the "int"x"int" section
-    input_pixel_format: rgb/bgr # look at the model.json to figure out which to put here
+  path: mobilenet_v2_ssd_coco--300x300_quant_n2x_orca1_1
+  width: 300 # width is in the model name as the first number in the "int"x"int" section
+  height: 300 # height is in the model name as the second number in the "int"x"int" section
+  input_pixel_format: rgb/bgr # look at the model.json to figure out which to put here
 ```

 #### AI Hub Cloud Inference
 
 If you do not possess whatever hardware you want to run, there's also the option to run cloud inferences. Do note that your detection fps might need to be lowered as network latency does significantly slow down this method of detection. For use with Frigate, we highly recommend using a local AI server as described above. To set up cloud inferences,
+
 1. Sign up at [DeGirum's AI Hub](https://hub.degirum.com).
 2. Get an access token.
 3. Create a DeGirum detector in your `config.yml` file.
 
 ```yaml
 degirum_detector:
-    type: degirum
-    location: "@cloud" # For accessing AI Hub devices and models
-    zoo: degirum/public # DeGirum's public model zoo. Zoo name should be in format "workspace/zoo_name". degirum/public is available to everyone, so feel free to use it if you don't know where to start.
-    token: dg_example_token # For authentication with the AI Hub. Get this token through the "tokens" section on the main page of the (AI Hub)[https://hub.degirum.com).
-
+  type: degirum
+  location: "@cloud" # For accessing AI Hub devices and models
+  zoo: degirum/public # DeGirum's public model zoo. Zoo name should be in format "workspace/zoo_name". degirum/public is available to everyone, so feel free to use it if you don't know where to start.
+  token: dg_example_token # For authentication with the AI Hub. Get this token through the "tokens" section on the main page of the (AI Hub)[https://hub.degirum.com).
 ```
 
 Once `degirum_detector` is setup, you can choose a model through 'model' section in the `config.yml` file.
 
 ```yaml
 model:
-    path: mobilenet_v2_ssd_coco--300x300_quant_n2x_orca1_1
-    width: 300 # width is in the model name as the first number in the "int"x"int" section

+## Preventing go2rtc from blocking two-way audio {#two-way-talk-restream}
+
+For cameras that support two-way talk, go2rtc will automatically establish an audio output backchannel when connecting to an RTSP stream. This backchannel blocks access to the camera's audio output for two-way talk functionality, preventing both Frigate and other applications from using it.
+
+To prevent this, you must configure two separate stream instances:
+
+1. One stream instance with `#backchannel=0` for Frigate's viewing, recording, and detection (prevents go2rtc from establishing the blocking backchannel)
+2. A second stream instance without `#backchannel=0` for two-way talk functionality (can be used by Frigate's WebRTC viewer or other applications)
+
+Configuration example:
+
+```yaml
+go2rtc:
+  streams:
+    front_door:
+      - rtsp://user:password@10.0.10.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2#backchannel=0
+    front_door_twoway:
+      - rtsp://user:password@10.0.10.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2
+```
+
+In this configuration:
+
+- `front_door` stream is used by Frigate for viewing, recording, and detection. The `#backchannel=0` parameter prevents go2rtc from establishing the audio output backchannel, so it won't block two-way talk access.
+- `front_door_twoway` stream is used for two-way talk functionality. This stream can be used by Frigate's WebRTC viewer when two-way talk is enabled, or by other applications (like Home Assistant Advanced Camera Card) that need access to the camera's audio output channel.

 3. Click **Add Trigger** to create a new trigger or use the pencil icon to edit an existing one.

+   - Enter a **Name** for the trigger (e.g., "Red Car Alert").
+   - Enter a descriptive **Friendly Name** for the trigger (e.g., "Red car on the driveway camera").
    - Select the **Type** (`Thumbnail` or `Description`).
    - For `Thumbnail`, select an image to trigger this action when a similar thumbnail image is detected, based on the threshold.
    - For `Description`, enter text to trigger this action when a similar tracked object description is detected.
    - Set the **Threshold** for similarity matching.
    - Select **Actions** to perform when the trigger fires.
+     If native webpush notifications are enabled, check the `Send Notification` box to send a notification.
+     Check the `Add Sub Label` box to add the trigger's friendly name as a sub label to any triggering tracked objects.
+     Check the `Add Attribute` box to add the trigger's internal ID (e.g., "red_car_alert") to a data attribute on the tracked object that can be processed via the API or MQTT.
 5. Save the trigger to update the configuration and store the embedding in the database.

-TL;DR: Text-to-image triggers aren’t supported because CLIP can confuse similar images and give inconsistent scores, making automation unreliable.
+TL;DR: Text-to-image triggers aren’t supported because CLIP can confuse similar images and give inconsistent scores, making automation unreliable. The same word–image pair can give different scores and the score ranges can be too close together to set a clear cutoff.
 
 Text-to-image triggers are not supported due to fundamental limitations of CLIP-based similarity search. While CLIP works well for exploratory, manual queries, it is unreliable for automated triggers based on a threshold. Issues include embedding drift (the same text–image pair can yield different cosine distances over time), lack of true semantic grounding (visually similar but incorrect matches), and unstable thresholding (distance distributions are dataset-dependent and often too tightly clustered to separate relevant from irrelevant results). Instead, it is recommended to set up a workflow with thumbnail triggers: first use text search to manually select 3–5 representative reference tracked objects, then configure thumbnail triggers based on that visual similarity. This provides robust automation without the semantic ambiguity of text to image matching.

 Use of the bundled go2rtc is optional. You can still configure FFmpeg to connect directly to your cameras. However, adding go2rtc to your configuration is required for the following features:
 
 - WebRTC or MSE for live viewing with audio, higher resolutions and frame rates than the jsmpeg stream which is limited to the detect stream and does not support audio
 - Live stream support for cameras in Home Assistant Integration
 - RTSP relay for use with other consumers to reduce the number of connections to your camera streams

 1. If the stream you added to go2rtc is also used by Frigate for the `record` or `detect` role, you can migrate your config to pull from the RTSP restream to reduce the number of connections to your camera as shown [here](/configuration/restream#reduce-connections-to-camera).
 2. You can [set up WebRTC](/configuration/live#webrtc-extra-configuration) if your camera supports two-way talk. Note that WebRTC only supports specific audio formats and may require opening ports on your router.
+3. If your camera supports two-way talk, you must configure your stream with `#backchannel=0` to prevent go2rtc from blocking other applications from accessing the camera's audio output. See [preventing go2rtc from blocking two-way audio](/configuration/restream#two-way-talk-restream) in the restream documentation.
 
-## Important considerations
+## Homekit Configuration
 
-If you are configuring go2rtc to publish HomeKit camera streams, on pairing the configuration is written to the `/dev/shm/go2rtc.yaml` file inside the container. These changes must be manually copied across to the `go2rtc` section of your Frigate configuration in order to persist through restarts.
+To add camera streams to Homekit Frigate must be configured in docker to use `host` networking mode. Once that is done, you can use the go2rtc WebUI (accessed via port 1984, which is disabled by default) to share export a camera to Homekit. Any changes made will automatically be saved to `/config/go2rtc_homekit.yml`.

+
+Frigate cameras can be integrated with Apple HomeKit through go2rtc. This allows you to view your camera streams directly in the Apple Home app on your iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS devices.
+
+## Overview
+
+HomeKit integration is handled entirely through go2rtc, which is embedded in Frigate. go2rtc provides the necessary HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) server to expose your cameras to HomeKit.
+
+## Setup
+
+All HomeKit configuration and pairing should be done through the **go2rtc WebUI**.
+
+### Accessing the go2rtc WebUI
+
+The go2rtc WebUI is available at:
+
+```
+http://<frigate_host>:1984
+```
+
+Replace `<frigate_host>` with the IP address or hostname of your Frigate server.
+
+### Pairing Cameras
+
+1. Navigate to the go2rtc WebUI at `http://<frigate_host>:1984`
+2. Use the `add` section to add a new camera to HomeKit
+3. Follow the on-screen instructions to generate pairing codes for your cameras
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Frigate must be accessible on your local network using host network_mode
+- Your iOS device must be on the same network as Frigate
+- Port 1984 must be accessible for the go2rtc WebUI
+- For detailed go2rtc configuration options, refer to the [go2rtc documentation](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc)

+title: Memory Troubleshooting
+---
+
+Frigate includes built-in memory profiling using [memray](https://bloomberg.github.io/memray/) to help diagnose memory issues. This feature allows you to profile specific Frigate modules to identify memory leaks, excessive allocations, or other memory-related problems.
+
+## Enabling Memory Profiling
+
+Memory profiling is controlled via the `FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES` environment variable. Set it to a comma-separated list of module names you want to profile:
+
+```bash
+export FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES="frigate.review_segment_manager,frigate.capture"
+```
+
+### Module Names
+
+Frigate processes are named using a module-based naming scheme. Common module names include:
+
+- `frigate.review_segment_manager` - Review segment processing
+- `frigate.recording_manager` - Recording management
+- `frigate.capture` - Camera capture processes (all cameras with this module name)
+- `frigate.process` - Camera processing/tracking (all cameras with this module name)
+- `frigate.output` - Output processing
+- `frigate.audio_manager` - Audio processing
+- `frigate.embeddings` - Embeddings processing
+
+You can also specify the full process name (including camera-specific identifiers) if you want to profile a specific camera:
+
+```bash
+export FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES="frigate.capture:front_door"
+```
+
+When you specify a module name (e.g., `frigate.capture`), all processes with that module prefix will be profiled. For example, `frigate.capture` will profile all camera capture processes.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Binary File Creation**: When profiling is enabled, memray creates a binary file (`.bin`) in `/config/memray_reports/` that is updated continuously in real-time as the process runs.
+
+2. **Automatic HTML Generation**: On normal process exit, Frigate automatically:
+
+   - Stops memray tracking
+   - Generates an HTML flamegraph report
+   - Saves it to `/config/memray_reports/<module_name>.html`
+
+3. **Crash Recovery**: If a process crashes (SIGKILL, segfault, etc.), the binary file is preserved with all data up to the crash point. You can manually generate the HTML report from the binary file.
+
+## Viewing Reports
+
+### Automatic Reports
+
+After a process exits normally, you'll find HTML reports in `/config/memray_reports/`. Open these files in a web browser to view interactive flamegraphs showing memory usage patterns.
+
+### Manual Report Generation
+
+If a process crashes or you want to generate a report from an existing binary file, you can manually create the HTML report:
+
+```bash
+memray flamegraph /config/memray_reports/<module_name>.bin
+```
+
+This will generate an HTML file that you can open in your browser.
+
+## Understanding the Reports
+
+Memray flamegraphs show:
+
+- **Memory allocations over time**: See where memory is being allocated in your code
+- **Call stacks**: Understand the full call chain leading to allocations
+- **Memory hotspots**: Identify functions or code paths that allocate the most memory
+- **Memory leaks**: Spot patterns where memory is allocated but not freed
+
+The interactive HTML reports allow you to:
+
+- Zoom into specific time ranges
+- Filter by function names
+- View detailed allocation information
+- Export data for further analysis
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Profile During Issues**: Enable profiling when you're experiencing memory issues, not all the time, as it adds some overhead.
+
+2. **Profile Specific Modules**: Instead of profiling everything, focus on the modules you suspect are causing issues.
+
+3. **Let Processes Run**: Allow processes to run for a meaningful duration to capture representative memory usage patterns.
+
+4. **Check Binary Files**: If HTML reports aren't generated automatically (e.g., after a crash), check for `.bin` files in `/config/memray_reports/` and generate reports manually.
+
+5. **Compare Reports**: Generate reports at different times to compare memory usage patterns and identify trends.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Reports Generated
+
+- Check that the environment variable is set correctly
+- Verify the module name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
+- Check logs for memray-related errors
+- Ensure `/config/memray_reports/` directory exists and is writable
+
+### Process Crashed Before Report Generation
+
+- Look for `.bin` files in `/config/memray_reports/`
+- Manually generate HTML reports using: `memray flamegraph <file>.bin`
+- The binary file contains all data up to the crash point
+
+### Reports Show No Data
+
+- Ensure the process ran long enough to generate meaningful data
+- Check that memray is properly installed (included by default in Frigate)
+- Verify the process actually started and ran (check process logs)
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# Enable profiling for review and capture modules
+export FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES="frigate.review_segment_manager,frigate.capture"
+
+# Start Frigate
+# ... let it run for a while ...
+
+# Check for reports
+ls -lh /config/memray_reports/
+
+# If a process crashed, manually generate report
+memray flamegraph /config/memray_reports/frigate_capture_front_door.bin
+```
+
+For more information about memray and interpreting reports, see the [official memray documentation](https://bloomberg.github.io/memray/).
