## Setting up camera groups

:::tip

It is recommended to set up camera groups using the UI.

:::

Cameras can be grouped together and assigned a name and icon, this allows them to be reviewed and filtered together. There will always be the default group for all cameras.

```yaml
camera_groups:
front:
cameras:
- driveway_cam
- garage_cam
icon: car
order: 0
```

title: Review

Review items are saved as periods of time where frigate detected events. After watching the preview of a review item it is marked as reviewed.

## Restricting alerts to specific labels

By default a review item will only be marked as an alert if a person or car is detected. This can be configured to include any object or audio label using the following config:

```yaml
# can be overridden at the camera level
review:
alerts:
labels:
- car
- cat
- dog
- person
- speech
```

## Restricting detections to specific labels

By default all detections that do not qualify as an alert qualify as a detection. However, detections can further be filtered to only include certain labels or certain zones.

By default a review item will only be marked as an alert if a person or car is detected. This can be configured to include any object or audio label using the following config:

```yaml
# can be overridden at the camera level
review:
detections:
labels:
- bark
- dog
```

## Restricting review items to specific zones

By default a review item will be created if any `review -> alerts -> labels` and `review -> detections -> labels` are detected anywhere in the camera frame. You will likely want to configure review items to only be created when the object enters an area of interest, [see the zone docs for more information](./zones.md#restricting-alerts-and-detections-to-specific-zones)

:::info

Because zones don't apply to audio, audio labels will always be marked as an alert.

Frigate can save a snapshot image to `/media/frigate/clips` for each object that is detected named as `<camera>-<id>.jpg`. They are also accessible [via the api](../integrations/api.md#get-apieventsidsnapshotjpg)

To only save snapshots for objects that enter a specific zone, [see the zone docs](./zones.md#restricting-snapshots-to-specific-zones)

Snapshots sent via MQTT are configured in the [config file](https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/) under `cameras -> your_camera -> mqtt`

You may also want to filter detections to only be created when an object enters a secondary area of interest. This is done using zones along with setting required_zones. Let's say you want alerts when an object enters the inner area of the yard but detections when an object enters the edge of the yard, the config would be

```yaml
