[Support]: Record only when detect object

See original GitHub issue

Describe the problem you are having

I upgraded to the latest version of Frigate 0.9.1. I also upgraded the add-on in my HA. Everything works fine, but looks recording is always on. I used the config below from the docs as I do not want 24x7 recording.

record: enabled: True retain_days: 0 events: retain: default: 10

I noticed recording always happens, only difference is 5 min of recording is retained. This is a deal breaker for me as it reduces the life span of my hard disk and I do not want any recording with out motion/object detection.

Is there any way to avoid this unwanted writing to hard disk?. I believe the previous version ( where clips are enabled ) writes to hard disk only when object is detected. Can any one please confirm?

Probably in one of the first few 0.9.x releases unless I run into something unexpected.

I have to say, this is a MAJOR issue that is really understated in the change log. For a traditional NVR setup with proper hardware (disks designed for 24/7 recording), this may be okay.

Frigate is appealing precisely because it can run on a variety of hardware that’s not necessarily designed as an NVR.

@blakeblackshear please, please prioritize this fix.
