Genai and reviews

[devdems]

Frigate alerts and saves a lot of time frames that do not have a person,cat,dog,car,... in the picture. Mostly leaves/branches that are blown in the wind or something similar. Those images are picked by Genai which does not find any tracked objects in the picture and that is correct.

Is it possible to configure that when Genai does its thing and does not find any objects for that timeframe that the alert is automatically marked as reviewed?

Based on the available documentation, there is no configuration option to automatically mark review items as reviewed when GenAI doesn't find any objects in the timeframe. The GenAI functionality in Frigate is designed to generate descriptions for tracked objects, not to automatically manage review status (1).

GenAI in Frigate works by generating descriptions for individual tracked objects that have already been detected by your configured object detector (1). The configuration allows you to specify which objects to generate descriptions for and customize prompts, but it doesn't include functionality to automatically mark items as reviewed (1).

Review items are created when objects matching your configured alerts or detections labels are detected (2). If you're getting alerts for motion without actual objects like people, cars, etc., this suggests the issue may be with your object detection configuration rather than GenAI.

To reduce false alerts from wind-blown leaves and branches, consider:

1. Configuring motion masks to exclude problematic areas (3)
2. Adjusting your review -> alerts -> labels and review -> detections -> labels configuration to be more restrictive (2)
3. Using zones to limit alerts to specific areas of interest (2)

The review system requires manual review or would need to be managed through custom automation using the MQTT topics or HTTP API (4) (5).
