Reduce disk writes

[amigafan2003]

Hi, I have Frigate set up on TrueNas Scale. Have four Wyze cams via docker-wyze-bridge.

Currently Frigate seems to be writing 10 seconds clips constantly to disk.

Is there any way of reducing the amount of writes? I thought the following config would only write to disk if motion was detected but that doesn't appear to be the case:-

What is your docker config? Do you have /tmp/cache mapped to tmpfs?

Also, have you watched the motion tuner to make sure a timestamp or something isn't causing motion to be detected?

Tmpfs as below

History shows fairly large gaps with no motion

that would just be one camera

That's from the review pane > motion > all four cameras

Gotcha, I still wouldn't go off of that directly. A camera's timestamp might not be enough motion to really show up on the timeline. I would double check the motion tuners to be sure things are working correctly.

Ok thank you. I have set a motion mask for the timestamps.

So as far as config goes, it should be doing what I think it should be doing (i.e. only writing segments with detected motion to disk)?

[NickM-27]

yes

Brilliant - i will spend some more time investigating the motion settings.
