Based on the documentation, I can help clarify how How Pre/Post Capture WorksFor Your Configuration IssueYour configuration structure looks mostly correct, but there's an important detail about how recordings work(1): Recordings are written to cache first, then moved to disk only if they match your retention policy(1). This means:
Recommended ConfigurationBased on the documentation, here's a clearer configuration for your use case(1): record:
enabled: true
retain:
days: 1
mode: all
alerts:
pre_capture: 10
post_capture: 15
retain:
days: 7
mode: motion
detections:
pre_capture: 10
post_capture: 15
retain:
days: 7
mode: motionImportant Notes
What Changed from "Events"The terminology shifted from "events" to the current structure of "alerts" and "detections" in recent versions(1). The functionality is similar, but the configuration structure is now more explicit about retention categories. Troubleshooting Steps
Your configuration should work with these settings. If pre-capture still isn't functioning, there may be an issue with cache storage or camera stream stability. ** 📚 Sources:

I think your understanding may be missing on how things work. Pre capture affects what is recorded, but it won't affect what is shown by the UI by default. Are you sure it is actually not recording, or just that it is not changing where the recordings open to? |

Describe the problem you are having
Hi, i read weeks for my problem, but I can´t fix it.
tested with frigate standalone docker, now running with ha supervised
I have to record active objects with pre & post capture, but it won´t work.
Why isn´t a really practicle example for questions like this ? only "read the docs", be shure i read them, not only once !
tried it with docker standalone since 0.16.1 weeks ago ...
and another question : what about "events", looks like that this worked in older versions ?
