Frigate NVR

Frigate NVR is an open source network video recorder (NVR) designed for IP cameras with real-time local object detection. It processes video streams locally through AI, ensuring camera footage never leaves the user's home. Frigate leverages Google's Coral TPU for advanced analytics to identify objects of interest, such as people, cars, etc., thereby reducing false positives. It supports integration with home automation platforms such as Home Assistant, OpenHab and NodeRed via MQTT, providing low-latency camera entities and real-time sensors for automation and notifications.

Frigate NVR is used by connecting an IP camera to the system. The software uses AI to analyze video streams, detect objects, and trigger events based on user-defined zones and alarms. It integrates with home automation platforms for enhanced control and notification capabilities.
