[Support]: No object detection at night with infrared #3009

Closed HairyHook closed 2 years ago

HairyHook commented 2 years ago

Describe the problem you are having

Hi there,

I have realized that I don't get any object detected in my outdoor cameras at night. I'm tracking several cats that roam my property and I have automated the sprinkler system to start for 1 min in the specific zone that the cat is seen. During the day, detection works flawlessly, but at night, cats are never detected (I even tried to go out myself and I was not detected as a person). I have a number of Dahua cams surrounding the property and the one with color-mode enabled seems to always catch the cat, while the infrared ones always miss it. For example, this is a snapshot of a missed cat:

How can I debug these types of events? I configured MQTT Explorer and left it running, however no MQTT events were found under that camera at that time. I just tried to lower the min_score for cats and dogs to 60 today, but my wife is recognized as a dog when wearing a ponytail :-) Ideally, I would like to know what Frigate is doing when the cats are not recognized so I can tweak the config properly. Your help is very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend watching the debug view with bounding box and motion box turned on. There is a good chance that the issue isn't object detection but that no motion is detected. If you don't see any motion boxes (red boxes) at night then the recommendation would be to try the improve_contast option under motion for that camera.

The improve_contrast was the forced behavior in 0.10.0 but some users reported lots of extra motion detection during the day so in 0.10.1 an option was added for it with a default of false. Setting it to true may help catch motion at night where object detection would see the cats.

Thanks for chiming in, Nicolas! It would be cool if Frigate could show us detection and motion boxes on 3rd party clips to see exactly what's happening (like uploading a new clip and seeing what it discovers). Cats roam randomly and I only discovered them because I have Blue Iris recording 24/7. I'll ask my wife to go out when is dark and I'll monitor the debug window. I wasn't aware of improve_contrast, definitely will check it out and try to implement it.

You can adjust your config to consider an mp4 clip as a camera to get a close idea of what the camera saw (NOTE: all config variables ex: detect motion need to be set to accurately see what happened previously). https://docs.frigate.video/contributing#2-create-a-local-config-file-for-testing

Genius!! Thank you so much! I just created a test camera with an export of the video and can confirm no motion boxes. Will play with the contrast. Thanks again!

HairyHook commented 2 years ago

I will close this issue, thanks for your help. I'm aware of some new tools now that can help me track missing motion events. Cheers!
