Face retention time difficulty

[kartalsmart]

I'll preface this by saying Frigate+/Frigate is absolutely brilliant. I am really looking forward to a higher focus on the face detection capabilities in future versions.

I'm using Frigate+ as the main license plate recognition system/face recognition system and general security system for a large construction project, it manages all passing vehicles and people. However, the faces are dissappearing from the face panel too quickly for me to review them.

I just checked now and I only had an hour worth of faces, at best I can check this a couple times a day. So I'm missing important people who enter the site.

Please can we store these faces like other objects? Or set a retention period for this?

Thanks.

Just increase the save_attempts parameter. The default is 100.

face_recognition:
  enabled: true
  save_attempts: 1000
  ...

To add on to this, having a retention period for faces does not make sense, we do not want the overhead of having to track every face in the DB when the vast majority are short-lived

You guys are great, thank you for such fast responses. I don't know how I missed the save_attempts: parameter in the documentation.

I understand Nick, thanks for the information.
