What is Frigate NVR
Frigate is an open source NVR built around real-time AI object detection. All processing is performed locally on your own hardware, ensuring camera feeds never leave your home. It's designed for privacy-focused home automation enthusiasts.
Features of Frigate NVR
- Real-time local object detection for IP cameras.
- Reduces false positives by using a Google Coral TPU for object detection (person, car, etc.) instead of simple motion detection.
- AI scrubs video feeds, running 100+ object detections per second with a single Google Coral TPU.
- Allows fine-tuning of events and alerts with zones, tracking objects in real-time to determine when a person walks up steps or a car enters a driveway.
- Integrates with Home Assistant, OpenHab, NodeRed, and anything with MQTT support.
- Provides low latency camera entities and exposes real-time sensors and switches for automations and notifications.
