Describe the problem you are having

not sure what to do at the point. without completely disabling all recording. I have 3 cameras and they are all recording multiple files per minute, it's pushing my server into overdrive, using all my ram to do so and then filling up my drive.

I can't keep deleting 50 gigs of data a day sometimes twice a day just to keep it alive. I've tried editing my config but nothing seems to help

Steps to reproduce

unsure

right, well an 8MP camera does use a lot of space to save its recordings, that is not a bug.

your car camera is configured to record 3 days of motion

    record:
      enabled: true
      retain:
        days: 3
        mode: motion

so presumably it is seeing motion from wind or other things (note that motion does not require any objects to be detected). The docs have a guide that walks through how to tune motion detection https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/motion_detection

What resolution are your cameras? Can you show a screenshot of the storage metrics page

okay.. will be good to see this again in a few hours after recordings have accumulated.

we're up to 14.5GB in 6 hours. almost all of it from my relink 810a. I've been struggling to get frigate to stop triggering a detection every time the wind blows a tree in the frame. I've set masks, zones, required zones, object specific detection, stationary config, not sure what else to do

it's been set to this change all day

I've read that doc and all the available doc about 100 times over at this point and have played with my config countless more times. it either gives me multiple triggers a minute or none at all, ive found no tolerable middle ground. I'm just confused because even reolinks shit app client doesn't think the tree moving is a vehicle detection. it makes no sense

you have the mode set to motion so this has nothing to do with object detection. Motion simply means pixels changing

when I put the mode active_objects I get zero recordings even when a person or car clearly enters the zone. there isnt an option to set the recordings to detection based only

there isnt an option to set the recordings to detection based only

there is, you just don't configure continuous recording and you only do event based recording.
