What is Frigate?
Frigate is an open source Network Video Recorder (NVR) with a focus on privacy and performance. It is designed around real-time AI object detection and all video processing is performed locally on your own hardware. This ensures that camera feeds never leave your home.
Frigate goes beyond simple motion detection. It leverages the power of AI, to perform advanced analysis and determine if the motion detected by your security camera is a person, car, or any object of interest. This significantly reduces false positives.
