[Camera Support]: Video is not recorded

[BigChris]

Describe the problem you are having

I have a camera in the attic. We occasionally have a mouse and I would like to catch and release it.

The camera detects movement from time to time and I can see this at the motion data point via mqttt.

However, the camera doesn't record any video and I don't know why. What is wrong with the configuration?

The standard free model that ships with Frigate is based on the COCO dataset where mouse is a computer mouse, not a rodent.

You can record based on motion, but it's very unlikely that the model will ever find your mouse and track it.
