[Question]: Detect motion when no object is detected

[gjz22]

What is your question:

Is it possible for Frigate to detect when there is a motion event but there is no object that the current model is able to detect with a reasonable confidence? (Ideal further would be to require the motion event lasted an amount of time to ensure it wasn't just a light being turned on, for example)

The need for this is to be able to create a feedback loop over time with the model. The model starts with a certain number of labels, then "unknown" items are detected and new labels are created using those videos as training data and the cycle continues.

Yes, frigate detects motion and shows this on the motion MQTT topic. It also stores motion data for each recording segment that is saved.

Right, but is there any way to get it to store motion data for all motion events that have no object detection labels of a given threshold?

Yes, it's stored in recordings table https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/record#reduced-storage-only-saving-video-when-motion-is-detected
