# Config Overview Traffic Monitor settings and configuration are stored and controlled locally, on each device. The following configuration files control the most common operations: * [Frigate Config](/configuration/frigate-config.md) - to enable and configure object detection * Node-RED [Node-RED Config](/configuration/node-red-config.md#environment-file) - to configure hardware sensors * Node-RED [Node-RED Config](/configuration/node-red-config.md#config-file) - to enable and configure sensors and ThingsBoard IoT hub connection It is recommended to start with a minimal configuration and add to it as needed. ## Backup and Restore Backup and restore are built into the Node-RED Device Dashboard but require a connection to a [ThingsBoard](https://thingsboard.io/) IoT (Internet of Things) hub server. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
