Virtual camera using recordings for debug

[ripvega]

I'll be really surprised if this hasn't been suggested before but I searched and couldn't find it.

Could Frigate have an option to use a recording to set zones and fine-tune the config rather than rely just on a live camera?

I have a long driveway to monitor and only get a few vehicles a day.

Using a recording of vehicles would make the process much faster and I could finally tune in the detection of the once a day red mail delivery van!

It can be done using https://docs.frigate.video/contributing#2-create-a-local-config-file-for-testing but may be built it an some point in the future.

Brilliant! Thank you.

But can I do this running Frigate as HA addon?

I got it working. A really great utility. Thank you.
