Frigate

Frigate is an open-source network video recorder for IP cameras that performs real-time AI object detection locally on the user’s hardware. Its maker says camera feeds do not leave the home. With a supported AI accelerator, detection can distinguish people and cars from motion; the site says Frigate can process 100+ object detections per second with such an accelerator. It tracks objects and lets users refine notifications by location. Recording supports both 24/7 capture and retention settings based on detected objects. Frigate runs in a Docker container on a Docker host, including as a Home Assistant App, and integrates with Home Assistant, OpenHab, NodeRed and MQTT-supporting systems. The free Frigate plan is an open-source NVR. Frigate+ Subscription costs $50 a year, billed annually, and includes model access, up to 12 fine-tuned models and AI-suggested labels for uploads. Windows is not officially supported. Frigate does not implement OIDC, SAML or LDAP natively, though upstream authentication proxies can provide those protocols.
