Top mounted cam looking down

[kuumaur]

Hi, I have an issue with my new Reolink Duo 1 poe. I have mounted that camera and it "looks" down to the driveway and the path to main door. The footage is good and the motion boxes register motion, but no event is triggered.
My 2 other cameras do not show this issue, they work as expected. Could it be the case, that frigate cant recognize objects from a top-to-down view?
Thanks in advance

Would recommend watching the debug view with bounding boxes, do they get detected at all?

Top down usually benefits from high resolutions than 640x480 for example. Sharing your current config might help.

Yes, detection is working, at least for persons. Smaller objects like dogs or cats are not detected. When I say detection is working, then it means, that detection is working but recognizing is not working. SO see the bounding boxes around the object, but it did not say "person" or something else.

640x360 is the highest resolution on sub stream.

[NickM-27]

Then you may just need to use the high res stream and scale it down to half size. That'll use more cpu but that's the recommendation for now I believe

Ok, changed to 7fps. I will test.

@kuumaur sorry to ping you after all this time, did you fix your issue?

I gave up and I have sent the camera back.
