In addition to Frigate's Live camera dashboard, Birdseye allows a portable heads-up view of your cameras to see what is going on around your property / space without having to watch all cameras that may have nothing happening. Birdseye allows specific modes that intelligently show and disappear based on what you care about.
Birdseye can be viewed by adding the "Birdseye" camera to a Camera Group in the Web UI. Add a Camera Group by pressing the "+" icon on the Live page, and choose "Birdseye" as one of the cameras.
Birdseye can be viewed by adding the "Birdseye" camera to a Camera Group in the Web UI. Add a Camera Group by pressing the pencil icon in the sidebar on the Live page, and choose "Birdseye" as one of the cameras.
Birdseye can also be used in Home Assistant dashboards, cast to media devices, etc.
:::note
Each camera tile in Birdseye is composed from the frames of the stream assigned the `detect` role, so a camera's image quality in Birdseye matches its detect stream resolution rather than a higher-resolution recording stream. If a camera looks low quality in Birdseye, increasing the detect width and height (or assigning the `detect` role to a higher-resolution stream) is what affects it. See [setting up camera inputs](./cameras.md#setting-up-camera-inputs) for how roles are assigned.
