:::note
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.

If you don't have separate streams for detect and record, you would just add the record role to the list on the first input.
