Unable to switch off `detect`

Describe the bug I am unable to turn off detect role. I was looking for an NVR to perform a 24/7 recording with seamless option to manage recordings/clips, archive the important ones etc. I’m not really looking into any motion detection, AI recognition etc. Perhaps Frigate is not the tool I’m looking for, nonetheless, I was wondering if that’s perhaps not intended to force detect, provided I don’t have any TPU thus my poor raspberry CPU would be quickly overwhelmed.

Version of frigate 0.8.4-5043040

Well, that makes a lot more sense than it being a global level setting! I was misled because record/enabled/false actually worked at the global level for me!

Thanks, cheers!

That’s one of the first things I tried, but:

Error parsing config: extra keys not allowed @ data['detect']['enabled']

I’m using a fresh blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64, which I just now realize is seven months old. I’ll give one of the latest a shot, which will probably be easier than checking your commit log 😉

Have u put that detect block within the camera block? You have to specify that in each camera block you have in the frigate.yaml.
