Unifi Camera no Detections

[strawgate]

Hi,

I have a relatively simple config:

mqtt:
  enabled: false

database:
  path: /config/frigate.db

objects:
  track:
    - person
      car

go2rtc:
  streams:
    unifi-street-railing:
      - rtspx://192.168.0.1:7441/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

cameras:
  unifi-street-railing:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://localhost:8554/unifi-street-railing
          roles:
            - record
            - detect
      output_args:
        record: preset-record-ubiquiti
    detect:
      enabled: true
    motion:
      threshold: 60
    record:
      enabled: True
    snapshots:
      enabled: True

And I see motion boxes on objects of interest

But I cannot for the life of me get a single event to be created for a detected object

The default model is trained on the COCO dataset which does not look like camera images. It is known to not work well from high vantage points like this or looking down at people, so most likely it is just not detecting them well.

Here's another example with bird detection enabled:

There is a bird every couple minutes at the feeder and I get zero detections with the below config

mqtt:
  enabled: false

database:
  path: /config/frigate.db

objects:
  track:
    - person
      car
      bird

cameras:
  unifi-street-railing:
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsps://192.168.0.1:7441/toh4FBjjjWrPkYIf
        #- path: rtsp://localhost:8554/unifi-street-railing
          roles:
            - record
            - detect
      output_args:
        record: preset-record-ubiquiti

    detect:
      enabled: true
    motion:
      threshold: 60
    objects:
      track:
        - car
          person
          bird
    record:
      enabled: True
    snapshots:
      enabled: True

    objects:
      track:
        - car
          person
          bird

this is not formatted correctly, there needs to be a - for each item

That was exactly the problem, thank you!
