It leverages FFmpeg's segment functionality to maintain a cache of video for each camera. The cache files are written to disk at `/tmp/cache` and do not introduce memory overhead. When an object is being tracked, it will extend the cache to ensure it can assemble a clip when the event ends. Once the event ends, it again uses FFmpeg to assemble a clip by combining the video clips without any encoding by the CPU. Assembled clips are are saved to `/media/frigate/clips`. Clips are retained according to the retention settings defined on the config for each object type. +These clips will not be playable in the web UI or in HomeAssistant's media browser unless your camera sends video as h264. + :::caution Previous versions of frigate included `-vsync drop` in input parameters. This is not compatible with FFmpeg's segment feature and must be removed from your input parameters if you have overrides set. :::
