hi all
I'm new to frigate, only a few months in.

I have set up facial recognition and object classification. I also have gemma4:e4b running at home for the genAI summary. I feel like the facial recognition is kinda pointless? like it never makes it into the summary. But if object detection recognition me, then I see the summary says I'm walking across the driveway.

But then object classification is also flakey like sometimes it picks up my wife as me or the neighbour as me, while the facial recognition is pretty good now. Is it possible to get the genAI summary to refer to the facial recognition DB?

or am I doing something wrong?

also for anyone running genAI locally, do I need something bigger to have good summaries?
I find that anything bigger than 4B it times out and just throws and error, even though for example I can do chats with my qwen35 9B at an ok speed

anyway would love to hear what you all say about this

Thanks
