What is Frigate?
Frigate is a cutting-edge open-source NVR built for real-time object detection using your existing IP cameras. It runs entirely on local hardware—integrating seamlessly with Home Assistant—and uses advanced AI to detect people, vehicles, animals, and more without relying on cloud services.
Frigate is optimized for performance, using hardware acceleration (e.g., Coral TPU or GPU) to deliver instant alerts and efficient video recording. No subscriptions, no cloud uploads—just secure, local surveillance you control.
Whether you're securing a home or a small business, Frigate gives you privacy, reliability, and integration that commercial systems simply can't match.
