From the docs: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/cameras#setting-up-camera-inputs

If you only define one stream in your inputs and do not assign a detect role to it, Frigate will automatically assign it the detect role. Frigate will always decode a stream to support motion detection, Birdseye, the API image endpoints, and other features, even if you have disabled object detection with enabled: False in your config's detect section.

If you plan to use Frigate for recording only, it is still recommended to define a detect role for a low resolution stream to minimize resource usage from the required stream decoding.
