frigate

Frigate NVR is a complete, locally run network video recorder designed for IP cameras, with realtime object detection powered by OpenCV and TensorFlow. It integrates with Home Assistant via a custom component. Key features: - Local realtime object detection for IP cameras (GPU/AI accelerator recommended) - Resource-conscious: motion detection triggers object detection only when needed - Multiprocessing with TensorFlow in separate processes for maximum FPS - MQTT communication for system integration - Video recording with retention rules based on detected objects, plus optional 24/7 recording - RTSP restreaming to reduce direct camera connections - WebRTC and MSE for low-latency live viewing - Web interface with live dashboard, review workflow, multi-camera scrubbing, and mask/zone editor License: MIT for code/configuration/documentation.
