# Supported Hardware
### Supported hardware
Object detection is what allows Frigate to identify _what_ is in your camera's view — people, cars, animals, and more — rather than just reacting to pixel changes. When Frigate's motion detection finds activity in a frame, that region is sent to an **object detector**, which returns the objects it recognizes along with their location and a confidence score. These detections are what drive tracked objects, alerts, detections, and notifications.
Object detection is computationally intensive, so Frigate is designed to run it on a dedicated AI accelerator or GPU rather than the CPU. A **detector** is the specific hardware-and-model backend Frigate uses to run inference. Choosing a detector that matches your hardware is one of the most important steps in getting good performance, and the right choice depends on what device Frigate is running on.

Frigate supports multiple different detectors that work on different types of hardware:
