Frigate
An open-source network video recorder detects objects locally in IP camera feeds, supports Home Assistant and MQTT, and uses the MIT license.
Frigate is a local AI network video recorder for people managing IP security cameras, especially homes using Home Assistant. It identifies people, cars and other objects so recordings and alerts can focus on relevant activity.
- Object detection: Analyze camera feeds on your own hardware, using motion detection to decide where object analysis is needed.
- Zones and alerts: Define areas such as front steps or a driveway to distinguish activity in specific locations and refine notifications.
- Recording history: Record continuously or use detected objects to control recording retention.
- Home automation: Connect camera views, recorded media, sensors and switches to Home Assistant, or share events with OpenHab, NodeRed and other MQTT-compatible systems.
- Live viewing: Watch low-latency feeds through WebRTC or MSE, and use RTSP restreaming to reduce connections to each camera.
Frigate is free and open source under the MIT license. Camera processing runs locally, and camera feeds stay at home. A GPU or supported AI accelerator is strongly recommended for object detection performance. Frigate+ offers optional custom models designed for Frigate.
