Frigate - NVR With Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras
A complete and local NVR designed for HomeAssistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.
Use of a Google Coral Accelerator is optional, but highly recommended. The Coral will outperform even the best CPUs and can process 100+ FPS with very little overhead.
- Tight integration with HomeAssistant via a custom component
 
- Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
 
- Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
 
- Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
 
- Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
 
- Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
 
- Records video clips of detected objects
 
- 24/7 recording
 
- Re-streaming via RTMP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
