About frigate

blakeblackshear/frigate

NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras

Leverages multiprocessing with motion detection to trigger selective object detection, reducing computational overhead while maintaining realtime performance across multiple camera streams. Supports GPU and AI accelerators (TensorFlow) for inference, with MQTT integration for ecosystem connectivity and tight Home Assistant integration via custom component. Provides 24/7 recording with intelligent retention based on detected objects, plus WebRTC/MSE low-latency streaming and RTSP re-streaming to minimize camera connections.
