Describe the problem you are having

I was on 0.16.3 before upgrade, running on an Intel N150 16gb ram based minipc (beelink Eq14), in docker.
After the upgrade, directly to 17b2 I noticed a big amount of lost frames in the recorded clips, never happened before.
This with the same configuration, large amount of cameras (unfortunately all by wifi, some of these with low signal): 11 ip cameras (reolink, imou, flureon, yi with yihack fw, crap Chinese...) with active object detection (Yolo model).
Cpu stay normally between 20 and 45% with peaks of 60-70 (but rare).
Detectors inference 25-35ms.
Detectors cpu usage is around 5%, memory lower than 1%.
Cpu usage for recording lower than 5% (most of the time lower than 2%).
Recorded clips and db located in the secondary disk, not the system one.
Live streaming works flawlessy with no significant drops or lag. Sometime signal lost in some cameras, but this ever happened.
Host os Debian trixie headless.
Large amount of errors in logs due to the signal stability (and yihack fw in some cases), anyway the same as with 0.16.x

Unfortunately I don't know if it's something that can be reproduced.

Any other information that may be helpful

As I said, issue started with 0.17b2 (I installed directly the b2 from 0.16.3)

Your logs are indicative of network issues typical of wifi cameras. It's possible that the combination of changes between 0.16 and 0.17 could cause network behavior changes, but there's no way to know for sure, especially without a consistent way to reproduce it.

See this note about wifi cameras and why we don't recommend them: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/multiple-cameras-high-bandwidth.77100/#post-861110

I am well aware that Wi-Fi cameras, especially on the 2.4GHz band, are far from an "optimal" choice. However, given my specific constraints—a large property with no available cable conduits—my only alternative would be Powerline adapters, which are often less reliable and would fail during power outages.
That being said, I wanted to report a noticeable change in stability. With version 0.16.x (and earlier), I never experienced issues of this magnitude; any occasional drops were well within acceptable limits.
Currently, I am seeing these issues even on:
Cameras with full signal strength that historically never dropped a frame.
High-quality Reolink outdoor units connected to a dedicated Access Point.
I fully understand how difficult (if not impossible) it is to debug these issues remotely. I decided to open this issue primarily to check if other users—perhaps even those with hardwired configurations—are experiencing similar regressions after updating.
I will continue to experiment on my end to isolate the root cause and will update this thread if I find any relevant logs or potential triggers, firstly reducing active cameras.

Oh, I forgot.. Great work!! 💪

I'd start by reducing the number of cameras temporarily. That will dramatically reduce wifi packet collision/retransmission issues and should give you a good indicator of network saturation issues.

Let us know if you figure it out!

I had the same issue after updating to Frigate 17. For me, changing hwaccel_args to preset-intel-qsv-h264 fixed the problem.
