 ### Audio Transcription

Note that audio detection must also be enabled as described above in order to use audio transcription features.
+Frigate supports fully local audio transcription using either `sherpa-onnx` or OpenAI’s open-source Whisper models via `faster-whisper`. The goal of this feature is to support Semantic Search for `speech` audio events. Frigate is not intended to act as a continuous, fully-automatic speech transcription service — automatically transcribing all speech (or queuing many audio events for transcription) requires substantial CPU (or GPU) resources and is impractical on most systems. For this reason, transcriptions for events are initiated manually from the UI or the API rather than being run continuously in the background.
+
+Transcription accuracy also depends heavily on the quality of your camera's microphone and recording conditions. Many cameras use inexpensive microphones, and distance to the speaker, low audio bitrate, or background noise can significantly reduce transcription quality. If you need higher accuracy, more robust long-running queues, or large-scale automatic transcription, consider using the HTTP API in combination with an automation platform and a cloud transcription service.

 :::
 
 Recorded `speech` events will always use a `whisper` model, regardless of the `model_size` config setting. Without a supported Nvidia GPU, generating transcriptions for longer `speech` events may take a fair amount of time, so be patient.
+
+#### FAQ
+
+1. Why doesn't Frigate automatically transcribe all `speech` events?
+
+   Frigate does not implement a queue mechanism for speech transcription, and adding one is not trivial. A proper queue would need backpressure, prioritization, memory/disk buffering, retry logic, crash recovery, and safeguards to prevent unbounded growth when events outpace processing. That’s a significant amount of complexity for a feature that, in most real-world environments, would mostly just churn through low-value noise.
+
+   Because transcription is **serialized (one event at a time)** and speech events can be generated far faster than they can be processed, an auto-transcribe toggle would very quickly create an ever-growing backlog and degrade core functionality. For the amount of engineering and risk involved, it adds **very little practical value** for the majority of deployments, which are often on low-powered, edge hardware.
+
+   If you hear speech that’s actually important and worth saving/indexing for the future, **just press the transcribe button in Explore** on that specific `speech` event - that keeps things explicit, reliable, and under your control.
+
+   Other options are being considered for future versions of Frigate to add transcription options that support external `whisper` Docker containers. A single transcription service could then be shared by Frigate and other applications (for example, Home Assistant Voice), and run on more powerful machines when available.
+
+2. Why don't you save live transcription text and use that for `speech` events?
+
+   There’s no guarantee that a `speech` event is even created from the exact audio that went through the transcription model. Live transcription and `speech` event creation are **separate, asynchronous processes**. Even when both are correctly configured, trying to align the **precise start and end time of a speech event** with whatever audio the model happened to be processing at that moment is unreliable.
+
+   Automatically persisting that data would often result in **misaligned, partial, or irrelevant transcripts**, while still incurring all of the CPU, storage, and privacy costs of transcription. That’s why Frigate treats transcription as an **explicit, user-initiated action** rather than an automatic side-effect of every `speech` event.

+The system will automatically generate example images from your camera feeds. You'll be guided through each class one at a time to select which images represent that state. It's not strictly required to select all images you see. If a state is missing from the samples, you can train it from the Recent tab later.
 
-**Important**: All images must be assigned to a state before training can begin. This includes images that may not be optimal, such as when people temporarily block the view, sun glare is present, or other distractions occur. Assign these images to the state that is actually present (based on what you know the state to be), not based on the distraction. This training helps the model correctly identify the state even when such conditions occur during inference.

+- **Data collection**: Use the model's Recent Classifications tab to gather balanced examples across times of day and weather.
+- **When to train**: Focus on cases where the model is entirely incorrect or flips between states when it should not. There's no need to train additional images when the model is already working consistently.
+- **Selecting training images**: Images scoring below 100% due to new conditions (e.g., first snow of the year, seasonal changes) or variations (e.g., objects temporarily in view, insects at night) are good candidates for training, as they represent scenarios different from the default state. Training these lower-scoring images that differ from existing training data helps prevent overfitting. Avoid training large quantities of images that look very similar, especially if they already score 100% as this can lead to overfitting.

+## Preventing go2rtc from blocking two-way audio {#two-way-talk-restream}
+
+For cameras that support two-way talk, go2rtc will automatically establish an audio output backchannel when connecting to an RTSP stream. This backchannel blocks access to the camera's audio output for two-way talk functionality, preventing both Frigate and other applications from using it.
+
+To prevent this, you must configure two separate stream instances:
+
+1. One stream instance with `#backchannel=0` for Frigate's viewing, recording, and detection (prevents go2rtc from establishing the blocking backchannel)
+2. A second stream instance without `#backchannel=0` for two-way talk functionality (can be used by Frigate's WebRTC viewer or other applications)
+
+Configuration example:
+
+```yaml
+go2rtc:
+  streams:
+    front_door:
+      - rtsp://user:password@10.0.10.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2#backchannel=0
+    front_door_twoway:
+      - rtsp://user:password@10.0.10.10:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=2
+```
+
+In this configuration:
+
+- `front_door` stream is used by Frigate for viewing, recording, and detection. The `#backchannel=0` parameter prevents go2rtc from establishing the audio output backchannel, so it won't block two-way talk access.
+- `front_door_twoway` stream is used for two-way talk functionality. This stream can be used by Frigate's WebRTC viewer when two-way talk is enabled, or by other applications (like Home Assistant Advanced Camera Card) that need access to the camera's audio output channel.

+title: Memory Troubleshooting
+---
+
+Frigate includes built-in memory profiling using [memray](https://bloomberg.github.io/memray/) to help diagnose memory issues. This feature allows you to profile specific Frigate modules to identify memory leaks, excessive allocations, or other memory-related problems.
+
+## Enabling Memory Profiling
+
+Memory profiling is controlled via the `FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES` environment variable. Set it to a comma-separated list of module names you want to profile:
+
+```bash
+export FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES="frigate.review_segment_manager,frigate.capture"
+```
+
+### Module Names
+
+Frigate processes are named using a module-based naming scheme. Common module names include:
+
+- `frigate.review_segment_manager` - Review segment processing
+- `frigate.recording_manager` - Recording management
+- `frigate.capture` - Camera capture processes (all cameras with this module name)
+- `frigate.process` - Camera processing/tracking (all cameras with this module name)
+- `frigate.output` - Output processing
+- `frigate.audio_manager` - Audio processing
+- `frigate.embeddings` - Embeddings processing
+
+You can also specify the full process name (including camera-specific identifiers) if you want to profile a specific camera:
+
+```bash
+export FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES="frigate.capture:front_door"
+```
+
+When you specify a module name (e.g., `frigate.capture`), all processes with that module prefix will be profiled. For example, `frigate.capture` will profile all camera capture processes.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Binary File Creation**: When profiling is enabled, memray creates a binary file (`.bin`) in `/config/memray_reports/` that is updated continuously in real-time as the process runs.
+
+2. **Automatic HTML Generation**: On normal process exit, Frigate automatically:
+
+   - Stops memray tracking
+   - Generates an HTML flamegraph report
+   - Saves it to `/config/memray_reports/<module_name>.html`
+
+3. **Crash Recovery**: If a process crashes (SIGKILL, segfault, etc.), the binary file is preserved with all data up to the crash point. You can manually generate the HTML report from the binary file.
+
+## Viewing Reports
+
+### Automatic Reports
+
+After a process exits normally, you'll find HTML reports in `/config/memray_reports/`. Open these files in a web browser to view interactive flamegraphs showing memory usage patterns.
+
+### Manual Report Generation
+
+If a process crashes or you want to generate a report from an existing binary file, you can manually create the HTML report:
+
+```bash
+memray flamegraph /config/memray_reports/<module_name>.bin
+```
+
+This will generate an HTML file that you can open in your browser.
+
+## Understanding the Reports
+
+Memray flamegraphs show:
+
+- **Memory allocations over time**: See where memory is being allocated in your code
+- **Call stacks**: Understand the full call chain leading to allocations
+- **Memory hotspots**: Identify functions or code paths that allocate the most memory
+- **Memory leaks**: Spot patterns where memory is allocated but not freed
+
+The interactive HTML reports allow you to:
+
+- Zoom into specific time ranges
+- Filter by function names
+- View detailed allocation information
+- Export data for further analysis
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Profile During Issues**: Enable profiling when you're experiencing memory issues, not all the time, as it adds some overhead.
+
+2. **Profile Specific Modules**: Instead of profiling everything, focus on the modules you suspect are causing issues.
+
+3. **Let Processes Run**: Allow processes to run for a meaningful duration to capture representative memory usage patterns.
+
+4. **Check Binary Files**: If HTML reports aren't generated automatically (e.g., after a crash), check for `.bin` files in `/config/memray_reports/` and generate reports manually.
+
+5. **Compare Reports**: Generate reports at different times to compare memory usage patterns and identify trends.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Reports Generated
+
+- Check that the environment variable is set correctly
+- Verify the module name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
+- Check logs for memray-related errors
+- Ensure `/config/memray_reports/` directory exists and is writable
+
+### Process Crashed Before Report Generation
+
+- Look for `.bin` files in `/config/memray_reports/`
+- Manually generate HTML reports using: `memray flamegraph <file>.bin`
+- The binary file contains all data up to the crash point
+
+### Reports Show No Data
+
+- Ensure the process ran long enough to generate meaningful data
+- Check that memray is properly installed (included by default in Frigate)
+- Verify the process actually started and ran (check process logs)
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# Enable profiling for review and capture modules
+export FRIGATE_MEMRAY_MODULES="frigate.review_segment_manager,frigate.capture"
+
+# Start Frigate
+# ... let it run for a while ...
+
+# Check for reports
+ls -lh /config/memray_reports/
+
+# If a process crashed, manually generate report
+memray flamegraph /config/memray_reports/frigate_capture_front_door.bin
+```

-You are a security officer.
-Time range: {time_range}.
-Input: JSON list with "title", "scene", "confidence", "potential_threat_level" (1-2), "other_concerns".
+You are a security officer writing a concise security report.
 
-Task: Write a concise, human-presentable security report in markdown format.
+Time range: {time_range}
 
-Rules for the report:
+Input format: Each event is a JSON object with:
+- "title", "scene", "confidence", "potential_threat_level" (0-2), "other_concerns", "camera", "time", "start_time", "end_time"
+- "context": array of related events from other cameras that occurred during overlapping time periods
 
-- Title & overview
-  - Start with:
-    # Security Summary - {time_range}
-  - Write a 1-2 sentence situational overview capturing the general pattern of the period.
+Report Structure - Use this EXACT format:
 
-- Event details
-  - Present events in chronological order as a bullet list.
-  - **If multiple events occur within the same minute or overlapping time range, COMBINE them into a single bullet.**
-    - Summarize the distinct activities as sub-points under the shared timestamp.
-  - If no timestamp is given, preserve order but label as “Time not specified.”
-  - Use bold timestamps for clarity.
-  - Group bullets under subheadings when multiple events fall into the same category (e.g., Vehicle Activity, Porch Activity, Unusual Behavior).
+# Security Summary - {time_range}
 
-- Threat levels
-  - Always show (threat level: X) for each event.
-  - If multiple events at the same time share the same threat level, only state it once.
+## Overview
+[Write 1-2 sentences summarizing the overall activity pattern during this period.]
 
-- Final assessment
-  - End with a Final Assessment section.
-  - If all events are threat level 1 with no escalation:
-    Final assessment: Only normal residential activity observed during this period.
-  - If threat level 2+ events are present, clearly summarize them as Potential concerns requiring review.
+---
 
-- Conciseness
-  - Do not repeat benign clothing/appearance details unless they distinguish individuals.
-  - Summarize similar routine events instead of restating full scene descriptions.
+## Timeline
+
+[Group events by time periods (e.g., "Morning (6:00 AM - 12:00 PM)", "Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM)", "Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM)", "Night (9:00 PM - 6:00 AM)"). Use appropriate time blocks based on when events occurred.]
+
+### [Time Block Name]
+
+**HH:MM AM/PM** | [Camera Name] | [Threat Level Indicator]
+- [Event title]: [Clear description incorporating contextual information from the "context" array]
+- Context: [If context array has items, mention them here, e.g., "Delivery truck present on Front Driveway Cam (HH:MM AM/PM)"]
+- Assessment: [Brief assessment incorporating context - if context explains the event, note it here]
+
+[Repeat for each event in chronological order within the time block]
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+[One sentence summarizing the period. If all events are normal/explained: "Routine activity observed." If review needed: "Some activity requires review but no security concerns." If security concerns: "Security concerns requiring immediate attention."]
+
+Guidelines:
+- List ALL events in chronological order, grouped by time blocks
+- Threat level indicators: ✓ Normal, ⚠️ Needs review, 🔴 Security concern
+- Integrate contextual information naturally - use the "context" array to enrich each event's description
+- If context explains the event (e.g., delivery truck explains person at door), describe it accordingly (e.g., "delivery person" not "unidentified person")
+- Be concise but informative - focus on what happened and what it means
+- If contextual information makes an event clearly normal, reflect that in your assessment
+- Only create time blocks that have events - don't create empty sections
