Spoke with chatgpt5. Here's a interesting camera detection health enum:
Operational (detections meaningful),
Offline (detections…
@NickM-27 commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2025):
When ffmpeg crashes, the detection is not cleared out
at its base level I would not agree that the sensor should be cleared out / immediately it…
@NickM-27 commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2025):
Also, to be clear, while a health metric will be useful in terms of clear meaning, I don't think the behavior will be any different than what you…
@markfrancisonly commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
Think about it. Home assistant has a state for this condition; unavailable, and technically true. The sensors are down when the camera is…
@NickM-27 commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
Yeah, like I said I agree with the home assistant behavior, it's just something we have to consider will cause a behavior change. Users often have a…
@markfrancisonly commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
from an api persepctive, I really dig the idea of having both last observed timestamp and camera offline state. Knowing whether or not frigate…
@NickM-27 commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
The frigate ui definitely should timeout the detection icon overlay.
I don't agree. Just because my camera went offline for 5 seconds doesn't mean…

just because my camera went offline for 5 seconds doesn't mean my parked car isn't there anymore.
haha, I guess we'll have to agree to…
@NickM-27 commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
If the stream is offline, nothing regarding object tracking happens, frigate will wait until the next frame comes in to update the objects, tracking…
@markfrancisonly commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
Blurred doesn't immediately say a camera image is offline or that there is an immediate problem.
- Blurring doesn't let you know the camera…
@NickM-27 commented on GitHub (Jul 25, 2025):
With that said, another status similar to the overall Frigate status topic for detection and recording would likely make sense
@bonjour81 commented on GitHub (Jul 27, 2025):
That would be useful !
@Spielwurfel commented on GitHub (Aug 13, 2025):
In general the fps should be used, there is no such thing as an fps drop, ffmpeg is configured to output constant fps unless the stream has…
@markfrancisonly commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2025):
I found a related bona fide bug that work in this area would help address, and a scenario where I want a reliable camera health metric.
