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.
