# Global object configuration. Applies to all cameras
# unless overridden at the camera levels.
# Keys must be valid labels. By default, the model uses coco (https://dl.google.com/coral/canned_models/coco_labels.txt).
# All labels from the model are reported over MQTT. These values are used to filter out false positives.
# min_area (optional): minimum width*height of the bounding box for the detected object
# max_area (optional): maximum width*height of the bounding box for the detected object
# min_score (optional): minimum score for the object
# threshold (optional): The minimum decimal percentage for tracked object's computed score to considered a true positive

    ## Specify the framerate of your camera
    ##
    ## NOTE: This should only be set in the event ffmpeg is unable to determine your camera's framerate
    ##       on its own and the reported framerate for your camera in frigate is well over what is expected.

    ## Optional mask. Must be the same aspect ratio as your video feed. Value is either the
    ## name of a file in the config directory or a base64 encoded bmp image prefixed with
    ## 'base64,' eg. 'base64,asfasdfasdf....'.
    ## 
    ## The mask works by looking at the bottom center of the bounding box for the detected
    ## person in the image. If that pixel in the mask is a black pixel, it ignores it as a
    ## false positive. In my mask, the grass and driveway visible from my backdoor camera 
    ## are white. The garage doors, sky, and trees (anywhere it would be impossible for a 
    ## person to stand) are black.
    ## 
    ## Masked areas are also ignored for motion detection.

    # Allows you to limit the framerate within frigate for cameras that do not support

    ################
    # This will save a clip for each tracked object by frigate along with a json file that contains
    # data related to the tracked object. This works by telling ffmpeg to write video segments to /cache
    # from the video stream without re-encoding. Clips are then created by using ffmpeg to merge segments
    # without re-encoding. The segments saved are unaltered from what frigate receives to avoid re-encoding.
    # They do not contain bounding boxes. 30 seconds of video is added to the start of the clip. These are
    # optimized to capture "false_positive" examples for improving frigate.
    #
    # NOTE: This will only work for camera feeds that can be copied into the mp4 container format without
    # encoding such as h264. I do not expect this to work for mjpeg streams, and it may not work for many other
    # types of streams.
    #
    # WARNING: Videos in /cache are retained until there are no ongoing events. If you are tracking cars or
    # other objects for long periods of time, the cache will continue to grow indefinitely.
