Describe the problem you are having

Frigate can detect motion but not objects. I tried first building yolo7 manually with no luck and then actually read untill the end of documentation and used this script for yolo9
"docker build . --build-arg MODEL_SIZE=t --build-arg IMG_SIZE=320 --output . -f- <<'EOF'
FROM python:3.11 AS build
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y libgl1 && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:0.8.0 /uv /bin/
WORKDIR /yolov9
ADD https://github.com/WongKinYiu/yolov9.git .
RUN uv pip install --system -r requirements.txt
RUN uv pip install --system onnx==1.18.0 onnxruntime onnx-simplifier>=0.4.1
ARG MODEL_SIZE
ARG IMG_SIZE
ADD https://github.com/WongKinYiu/yolov9/releases/download/v0.1/yolov9-${MODEL_SIZE}-converted.pt yolov9-${MODEL_SIZE}.pt
RUN sed -i "s/ckpt = torch.load(attempt_download(w), map_location='cpu')/ckpt = torch.load(attempt_download(w), map_location='cpu', weights_only=False)/g" models/experimental.py
RUN python3 export.py --weights ./yolov9-${MODEL_SIZE}.pt --imgsz ${IMG_SIZE} --simplify --include onnx
FROM scratch
ARG MODEL_SIZE
ARG IMG_SIZE
COPY --from=build /yolov9/yolov9-${MODEL_SIZE}.onnx /yolov9-${MODEL_SIZE}-${IMG_SIZE}.onnx
EOF"
It is able to load the model and I believe i enabled Detection in the config but still I get nothing. I feel like I have adjusted something while trying to get the yolo7 to work but I just not quite sure what.

In Frigate 0.16 and later, detection is disabled by default.

You need to add:

detect:
  enabled: true

to the global level of your config.

Your config and logs show the ONNX model is loading, but no detections are occurring. Here are the most likely issues and solutions based on the documentation:

Camera Inputs for Detection
Your front camera only has a record input, not a detect input. Frigate requires a detect role input for object detection to run on that camera. The other cameras (driveway, door, back) do have a detect input configured, so make sure the streams are working and accessible(1).
Model Configuration for YOLOv9
Your model config uses model_type: yolo-generic, which is correct for YOLOv9 ONNX exported models(2)(3)(4). Your other parameters (width, height, input_tensor, input_dtype, path, labelmap_path) also match the documented examples.
Detector Device Assignment
You are using the ONNX detector with the tensorrt image, which is correct for NVIDIA GPU support(2)(5). However, the device parameter is not set under your ONNX detector. For NVIDIA GPU acceleration, set:

detectors:
  onnx:
    type: onnx
    device: '0'

This tells Frigate to use the first GPU(5).

Check Camera detect: Block
Each camera that should run detection must have a working detect block and the correct input. Your driveway, door, and back cameras have this, but ensure the RTSP streams are active and the detect input is not commented out(1).
Check for Skipped Frames
Your dashboard screenshots show "detect 0" for all cameras, meaning no detections are being made. This can happen if:
- The detect input stream is not working.
- The detector process is not running or not seeing frames.
- The model is incompatible or not functioning as expected.
Other Considerations
- Make sure your labelmap matches the model (should be COCO-80 for most YOLOv9 exports)(2)(3)(4).
- If you've previously used a YOLOv7 model and changed settings, double-check that all model parameters are correct and match the YOLOv9 ONNX export.
- Restart Frigate after any config or model changes.

Action Steps:

Ensure every camera you want detection on has a working detect input stream.
Add device: '0' to the ONNX detector config.
Confirm model parameters match the ONNX export.
Restart the Frigate container.

If you still see no detections, try running Frigate with just one camera and a minimal config to isolate the issue. If the problem persists, double-check the model export process and try a known-good ONNX model from the documentation resources(2)(3)(4).
