Describe the problem you are having

Hello all,

I'll admit I'm brand new to this NVR software. I'm working on configuring object (person) detection. I have my threshold set to 0.75 but I'm still getting events with person: 71%. Maybe I'm missing something silly (entirely possible) but I'm trying to understand why my camera setting is being ignored. See full config below. Here is a screenshot showing the 71% detection:

Thanks,
Dan

You set the filter on the zone not the camera, and you didn't make the zone required

lol I'm going to display my noobness here, but I cannot apply a filter to each zone? I likely will want to tweak it individually.

Also, I don't know what you mean by making the zone required. :/

OK Now I'm confused. I was looking at the full config here https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/reference

Which shows that filters go with zones (about 3/4 of the way down). So do I have something all wrong? I don't even have the record events specified per camera but it is recording on events (and as mentioned not honoring the threshold).

You can set filters on a camera or on a zone. If you don't make the zones required for events then the event will still be created even when the object is not considered in the zone.

So you should either apply the filter to the camera or make your zones required for events.

Cool ok, I think I get it now. So to circle back to that camera in question I just need to drop this bit into the camera config, correct?

You need to apply to snapshots too
