Frigate
A complete and local NVR
Blake Blackshear
A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.
🛠️ SET-UP
-
You can configure your cameras directly within the Frigate app, there is no need to manually edit the configuration files.
-
Your RTSP password (if needed) is the "default app password" that is displayed on Frigate's page in the app store (shown after install).
⚠️ As usual, Frigate will attempt to update its configuration automatically. It is still recommended to back up your current config and database before upgrading.
🚨 This is a major release with several breaking changes:
- GenAI config restructured: global
genainow only configures the provider; other fields moved underobjects -> genai - Recordings retention is now fully tiered with separate
record -> continuousandrecord -> motionfields - LPR models updated: most users should manually switch to the
smallmodel strftime_fmthas been fully removed; date/time formatting is now based on UI language selection- Camera auto-detection resolution logic has changed; you may need to explicitly set
detectwidth and height if Frigate hangs on startup - The
exec,expr, andechosources for go2rtc are now removed by default to reduce security risk - Nvidia GTX 900 series GPUs are no longer supported
New features and improvements in this update include:
- New classification model training: train local models for state classification (e.g. gate open/closed) and object classification (e.g. identify specific dogs or people)
- Custom viewer roles to limit user access to specific cameras
- GenAI can now summarize review items with a title, description, and activity classification
- Semantic Search Triggers to automate actions when a tracked object matches an image or description
- Nvidia GPU performance improved with CUDA Graphs support
- Intel OpenVINO now supports NPU inference with reduced memory and CPU usage
- RKNN improvements including automatic ONNX model conversion and accelerated enrichment support
- Apple Silicon NPU object detection support
- YOLOv9 support on Google Coral devices
- New community-supported detectors: MemryX, Degirum SDK, and Synaptics
- Add Camera Wizard in the UI to add cameras without editing config files
- Many more settings can now be saved dynamically without restarting Frigate
- Configuration Safe Mode highlights invalid config issues in the UI
- Audio transcription support using local models
- LPR normalization configuration and updated PaddleOCR models with Chinese character support
- IPv6 can now be toggled via config
- Revamped Settings menu with sidebar navigation
