A complete and local NVR designed for [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io) with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.
Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported [object detectors](https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/object_detectors/).

# Trademark Policy
**Last Updated:** November 2025
This document outlines the policy regarding the use of the trademarks associated with the Frigate NVR project.
## 1. Our Trademarks
The following terms and visual assets are trademarks (the "Marks") of **Frigate LLC**:
- **Frigate™**
- **Frigate NVR™**
- **Frigate+™**
- **The Frigate Logo**
**Note on Common Law Rights:**
Frigate LLC asserts all common law rights in these Marks. The absence of a federal registration symbol (®) does not constitute a waiver of our intellectual property rights.
## 2. Interaction with the MIT License
The software in this repository is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).
**Crucial Distinction:**
- The **Code** is free to use, modify, and distribute under the MIT terms.
- The **Brand (Trademarks)** is **NOT** licensed under MIT.
You may not use the Marks in any way that is not explicitly permitted by this policy or by written agreement with Frigate LLC.
## 3. Acceptable Use
You may use the Marks without prior written permission in the following specific contexts:
- **Referential Use:** To truthfully refer to the software (e.g., _"I use Frigate NVR for my home security"_).
- **Compatibility:** To indicate that your product or project works with the software (e.g., _"MyPlugin for Frigate NVR"_ or _"Compatible with Frigate"_).
- **Commentary:** In news articles, blog posts, or tutorials discussing the software.
## 4. Prohibited Use
You may **NOT** use the Marks in the following ways:
- **Commercial Products:** You may not use "Frigate" in the name of a commercial product, service, or app (e.g., selling an app named _"Frigate Viewer"_ is prohibited).
- **Implying Affiliation:** You may not use the Marks in a way that suggests your project is official, sponsored by, or endorsed by Frigate LLC.
- **Confusing Forks:** If you fork this repository to create a derivative work, you **must** remove the Frigate logo and rename your project to avoid user confusion. You cannot distribute a modified version of the software under the name "Frigate".
- **Domain Names:** You may not register domain names containing "Frigate" that are likely to confuse users (e.g., `frigate-official-support.com`).
## 5. The Logo
The Frigate logo (the bird icon) is a visual trademark.
- You generally **cannot** use the logo on your own website or product packaging without permission.
- If you are building a dashboard or integration that interfaces with Frigate, you may use the logo only to represent the Frigate node/service, provided it does not imply you _are_ Frigate.
## 6. Questions & Permissions
If you are unsure if your intended use violates this policy, or if you wish to request a specific license to use the Marks (e.g., for a partnership), please contact us at:
**help@frigate.video**

The audio detector uses volume levels in the same way that motion in a camera feed is used for object detection. This means that frigate will not run audio detection unless the audio volume is above the configured level in order to reduce resource usage. Audio levels can vary widely between camera models so it is important to run tests to see what volume levels are. The Debug view in the Frigate UI has an Audio tab for cameras that have the `audio` role assigned where a graph and the current levels are is displayed. The `min_volume` parameter should be set to the minimum the `RMS` level required to run audio detection.

### Audio Transcription
Frigate supports fully local audio transcription using either `sherpa-onnx` or OpenAIs open-source Whisper models via `faster-whisper`. The goal of this feature is to support Semantic Search for `speech` audio events. Frigate is not intended to act as a continuous, fully-automatic speech transcription service — automatically transcribing all speech (or queuing many audio events for transcription) requires substantial CPU (or GPU) resources and is impractical on most systems. For this reason, transcriptions for events are initiated manually from the UI or the API rather than being run continuously in the background.
Transcription accuracy also depends heavily on the quality of your camera's microphone and recording conditions. Many cameras use inexpensive microphones, and distance to the speaker, low audio bitrate, or background noise can significantly reduce transcription quality. If you need higher accuracy, more robust long-running queues, or large-scale automatic transcription, consider using the HTTP API in combination with an automation platform and a cloud transcription service.
#### Configuration
To enable transcription, enable it in your config. Note that audio detection must also be enabled as described above in order to use audio transcription features.
```yaml
audio_transcription:
enabled: True
device: ...
model_size: ...
```
Disable audio transcription for select cameras at the camera level:
```yaml
cameras:
back_yard:
...
audio_transcription:
enabled: False
```
:::note
Audio detection must be enabled and configured as described above in order to use audio transcription features.
:::
The optional config parameters that can be set at the global level include:
- **`enabled`**: Enable or disable the audio transcription feature.
- Default: `False`
- It is recommended to only configure the features at the global level, and enable it at the individual camera level.
- **`device`**: Device to use to run transcription and translation models.
- Default: `CPU`
- This can be `CPU` or `GPU`. The `sherpa-onnx` models are lightweight and run on the CPU only. The `whisper` models can run on GPU but are only supported on CUDA hardware.
- **`model_size`**: The size of the model used for live transcription.
- Default: `small`
- This can be `small` or `large`. The `small` setting uses `sherpa-onnx` models that are fast, lightweight, and always run on the CPU but are not as accurate as the `whisper` model.
- This config option applies to **live transcription only**. Recorded `speech` events will always use a different `whisper` model (and can be accelerated for CUDA hardware if available with `device: GPU`).
- **`language`**: Defines the language used by `whisper` to translate `speech` audio events (and live audio only if using the `large` model).
- Default: `en`
- You must use a valid [language code](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/tokenizer.py#L10).
- Transcriptions for `speech` events are translated.
- Live audio is translated only if you are using the `large` model. The `small` `sherpa-onnx` model is English-only.
The only field that is valid at the camera level is `enabled`.
#### Live transcription
The single camera Live view in the Frigate UI supports live transcription of audio for streams defined with the `audio` role. Use the Enable/Disable Live Audio Transcription button/switch to toggle transcription processing. When speech is heard, the UI will display a black box over the top of the camera stream with text. The MQTT topic `frigate/<camera_name>/audio/transcription` will also be updated in real-time with transcribed text.
Results can be error-prone due to a number of factors, including:
- Poor quality camera microphone
- Distance of the audio source to the camera microphone
- Low audio bitrate setting in the camera
- Background noise
- Using the `small` model - it's fast, but not accurate for poor quality audio
For speech sources close to the camera with minimal background noise, use the `small` model.
If you have CUDA hardware, you can experiment with the `large` `whisper` model on GPU. Performance is not quite as fast as the `sherpa-onnx` `small` model, but live transcription is far more accurate. Using the `large` model with CPU will likely be too slow for real-time transcription.
#### Transcription and translation of `speech` audio events
Any `speech` events in Explore can be transcribed and/or translated through the Transcribe button in the Tracked Object Details pane.
In order to use transcription and translation for past events, you must enable audio detection and define `speech` as an audio type to listen for in your config. To have `speech` events translated into the language of your choice, set the `language` config parameter with the correct [language code](https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/tokenizer.py#L10).
The transcribed/translated speech will appear in the description box in the Tracked Object Details pane. If Semantic Search is enabled, embeddings are generated for the transcription text and are fully searchable using the description search type.
:::note
Only one `speech` event may be transcribed at a time. Frigate does not automatically transcribe `speech` events or implement a queue for long-running transcription model inference.
:::
Recorded `speech` events will always use a `whisper` model, regardless of the `model_size` config setting. Without a supported Nvidia GPU, generating transcriptions for longer `speech` events may take a fair amount of time, so be patient.
#### FAQ
1. Why doesn't Frigate automatically transcribe all `speech` events?
Frigate does not implement a queue mechanism for speech transcription, and adding one is not trivial. A proper queue would need backpressure, prioritization, memory/disk buffering, retry logic, crash recovery, and safeguards to prevent unbounded growth when events outpace processing. Thats a significant amount of complexity for a feature that, in most real-world environments, would mostly just churn through low-value noise.
Because transcription is **serialized (one event at a time)** and speech events can be generated far faster than they can be processed, an auto-transcribe toggle would very quickly create an ever-growing backlog and degrade core functionality. For the amount of engineering and risk involved, it adds **very little practical value** for the majority of deployments, which are often on low-powered, edge hardware.
If you hear speech thats actually important and worth saving/indexing for the future, **just press the transcribe button in Explore** on that specific `speech` event - that keeps things explicit, reliable, and under your control.
Other options are being considered for future versions of Frigate to add transcription options that support external `whisper` Docker containers. A single transcription service could then be shared by Frigate and other applications (for example, Home Assistant Voice), and run on more powerful machines when available.
2. Why don't you save live transcription text and use that for `speech` events?
Theres no guarantee that a `speech` event is even created from the exact audio that went through the transcription model. Live transcription and `speech` event creation are **separate, asynchronous processes**. Even when both are correctly configured, trying to align the **precise start and end time of a speech event** with whatever audio the model happened to be processing at that moment is unreliable.
Automatically persisting that data would often result in **misaligned, partial, or irrelevant transcripts**, while still incurring all of the CPU, storage, and privacy costs of transcription. Thats why Frigate treats transcription as an **explicit, user-initiated action** rather than an automatic side-effect of every `speech` event.

## Session Length
The default session length for user authentication in Frigate is 24 hours. This setting determines how long a user's authenticated session remains active before a token refresh is required — otherwise, the user will need to log in again.
While the default provides a balance of security and convenience, you can customize this duration to suit your specific security requirements and user experience preferences. The session length is configured in seconds.
The default value of `86400` will expire the authentication session after 24 hours. Some other examples:
- `0`: Setting the session length to 0 will require a user to log in every time they access the application or after a very short, immediate timeout.
- `604800`: Setting the session length to 604800 will require a user to log in if the token is not refreshed for 7 days.
```yaml

Frigate can be configured to leverage features of common upstream authentication proxies such as Authelia, Authentik, oauth2_proxy, or traefik-forward-auth.
If you are leveraging the authentication of an upstream proxy, you likely want to disable Frigate's authentication as there is no correspondence between users in Frigate's database and users authenticated via the proxy. Optionally, if communication between the reverse proxy and Frigate is over an untrusted network, you should set an `auth_secret` in the `proxy` config and configure the proxy to send the secret value as a header named `X-Proxy-Secret`. Assuming this is an untrusted network, you will also want to [configure a real TLS certificate](tls.md) to ensure the traffic can't simply be sniffed to steal the secret.

### Header mapping
If you have disabled Frigate's authentication and your proxy supports passing a header with authenticated usernames and/or roles, you can use the `header_map` config to specify the header name so it is passed to Frigate. For example, the following will map the `X-Forwarded-User` and `X-Forwarded-Groups` values. Header names are not case sensitive. Multiple values can be included in the role header. Frigate expects that the character separating the roles is a comma, but this can be specified using the `separator` config entry.
```yaml
proxy:
...
separator: "|" # This value defaults to a comma, but Authentik uses a pipe, for example.
header_map:
user: x-forwarded-user
role: x-forwarded-groups
```
Frigate supports `admin`, `viewer`, and custom roles (see below). When using port `8971`, Frigate validates these headers and subsequent requests use the headers `remote-user` and `remote-role` for authorization.
A default role can be provided. Any value in the mapped `role` header will override the default.
```yaml
proxy:
...
default_role: viewer
```
## Role mapping
In some environments, upstream identity providers (OIDC, SAML, LDAP, etc.) do not pass a Frigate-compatible role directly, but instead pass one or more group claims. To handle this, Frigate supports a `role_map` that translates upstream group names into Frigates internal roles (`admin`, `viewer`, or custom).
If you have disabled Frigate's authentication and your proxy supports passing a header with authenticated usernames and/or roles, you can use the `header_map` config to specify the header name so it is passed to Frigate. For example, the following will map the `X-Forwarded-User` and `X-Forwarded-Role` values. Header names are not case sensitive.
```yaml
proxy:
...
header_map:
user: x-forwarded-user
role: x-forwarded-groups
role_map:
admin:
- sysadmins
- access-level-security
viewer:
- camera-viewer
operator: # Custom role mapping
- operators
role: x-forwarded-role
```
In this example:
- If the proxy passes a role header containing `sysadmins` or `access-level-security`, the user is assigned the `admin` role.
- If the proxy passes a role header containing `camera-viewer`, the user is assigned the `viewer` role.
- If the proxy passes a role header containing `operators`, the user is assigned the `operator` custom role.
- If no mapping matches, Frigate falls back to `default_role` if configured.
- If `role_map` is not defined, Frigate assumes the role header directly contains `admin`, `viewer`, or a custom role name.
Frigate supports both `admin` and `viewer` roles (see below). When using port `8971`, Frigate validates these headers and subsequent requests use the headers `remote-user` and `remote-role` for authorization.

@ -216,41 +162,6 @@ Frigate supports user roles to control access to certain features in the UI and
- **admin**: Full access to all features, including user management and configuration.
- **viewer**: Read-only access to the UI and API, including viewing cameras, review items, and historical footage. Configuration editor and settings in the UI are inaccessible.
- **Custom Roles**: Arbitrary role names (alphanumeric, dots/underscores) with specific camera permissions. These extend the system for granular access (e.g., "operator" for select cameras).
### Custom Roles and Camera Access
The viewer role provides read-only access to all cameras in the UI and API. Custom roles allow admins to limit read-only access to specific cameras. Each role specifies an array of allowed camera names. If a user is assigned a custom role, their account is like the **viewer** role - they can only view Live, Review/History, Explore, and Export for the designated cameras. Backend API endpoints enforce this server-side (e.g., returning 403 for unauthorized cameras), and the frontend UI filters content accordingly (e.g., camera dropdowns show only permitted options).
### Role Configuration Example
```yaml
cameras:
front_door:
# ... camera config
side_yard:
# ... camera config
garage:
# ... camera config
auth:
enabled: true
roles:
operator: # Custom role
- front_door
- garage # Operator can access front and garage
neighbor:
- side_yard
```
If you want to provide access to all cameras to a specific user, just use the **viewer** role.
### Managing User Roles
1. Log in as an **admin** user via port `8971` (preferred), or unauthenticated via port `5000`.
2. Navigate to **Settings**.
3. In the **Users** section, edit a users role by selecting from available roles (admin, viewer, or custom).
4. In the **Roles** section, add/edit/delete custom roles (select cameras via switches). Deleting a role auto-reassigns users to "viewer".

## USB Cameras (aka Webcams)
To use a USB camera (webcam) with Frigate, the recommendation is to use go2rtc's [FFmpeg Device](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#source-ffmpeg-device) support:
- Preparation outside of Frigate:
- Get USB camera path. Run `v4l2-ctl --list-devices` to get a listing of locally-connected cameras available. (You may need to install `v4l-utils` in a way appropriate for your Linux distribution). In the sample configuration below, we use `video=0` to correlate with a detected device path of `/dev/video0`
- Get USB camera formats & resolutions. Run `ffmpeg -f v4l2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0` to get an idea of what formats and resolutions the USB Camera supports. In the sample configuration below, we use a width of 1024 and height of 576 in the stream and detection settings based on what was reported back.
- If using Frigate in a container (e.g. Docker on TrueNAS), ensure you have USB Passthrough support enabled, along with a specific Host Device (`/dev/video0`) + Container Device (`/dev/video0`) listed.
- In your Frigate Configuration File, add the go2rtc stream and roles as appropriate:
```
go2rtc:
streams:
usb_camera:
- "ffmpeg:device?video=0&video_size=1024x576#video=h264"

id: object_classification
title: Object Classification
---
Object classification allows you to train a custom MobileNetV2 classification model to run on tracked objects (persons, cars, animals, etc.) to identify a finer category or attribute for that object.
## Minimum System Requirements
Object classification models are lightweight and run very fast on CPU. Inference should be usable on virtually any machine that can run Frigate.
Training the model does briefly use a high amount of system resources for about 13 minutes per training run. On lower-power devices, training may take longer.
## Classes
Classes are the categories your model will learn to distinguish between. Each class represents a distinct visual category that the model will predict.
For object classification:
- Define classes that represent different types or attributes of the detected object
- Examples: For `person` objects, classes might be `delivery_person`, `resident`, `stranger`
- Include a `none` class for objects that don't fit any specific category
- Keep classes visually distinct to improve accuracy
### Classification Type
- **Sub label**:
- Applied to the objects `sub_label` field.
- Ideal for a single, more specific identity or type.
- Example: `cat``Leo`, `Charlie`, `None`.
- **Attribute**:
- Added as metadata to the object (visible in /events): `<model_name>: <predicted_value>`.
- Ideal when multiple attributes can coexist independently.
- Example: Detecting if a `person` in a construction yard is wearing a helmet or not.
## Assignment Requirements
Sub labels and attributes are only assigned when both conditions are met:
1. **Threshold**: Each classification attempt must have a confidence score that meets or exceeds the configured `threshold` (default: `0.8`).
2. **Class Consensus**: After at least 3 classification attempts, 60% of attempts must agree on the same class label. If the consensus class is `none`, no assignment is made.
This two-step verification prevents false positives by requiring consistent predictions across multiple frames before assigning a sub label or attribute.
## Example use cases
### Sub label
- **Known pet vs unknown**: For `dog` objects, set sub label to your pets name (e.g., `buddy`) or `none` for others.
- **Mail truck vs normal car**: For `car`, classify as `mail_truck` vs `car` to filter important arrivals.
- **Delivery vs non-delivery person**: For `person`, classify `delivery` vs `visitor` based on uniform/props.
### Attributes
- **Backpack**: For `person`, add attribute `backpack: yes/no`.
- **Helmet**: For `person` (worksite), add `helmet: yes/no`.
- **Leash**: For `dog`, add `leash: yes/no` (useful for park or yard rules).
- **Ladder rack**: For `truck`, add `ladder_rack: yes/no` to flag service vehicles.
## Configuration
Object classification is configured as a custom classification model. Each model has its own name and settings. You must list which object labels should be classified.
```yaml
classification:
custom:
dog:
threshold: 0.8
object_config:
objects: [dog] # object labels to classify
classification_type: sub_label # or: attribute
```
## Training the model
Creating and training the model is done within the Frigate UI using the `Classification` page. The process consists of two steps:
### Step 1: Name and Define
Enter a name for your model, select the object label to classify (e.g., `person`, `dog`, `car`), choose the classification type (sub label or attribute), and define your classes. Include a `none` class for objects that don't fit any specific category.
### Step 2: Assign Training Examples
The system will automatically generate example images from detected objects matching your selected label. You'll be guided through each class one at a time to select which images represent that class. Any images not assigned to a specific class will automatically be assigned to `none` when you complete the last class. Once all images are processed, training will begin automatically.
When choosing which objects to classify, start with a small number of visually distinct classes and ensure your training samples match camera viewpoints and distances typical for those objects.
### Improving the Model
- **Problem framing**: Keep classes visually distinct and relevant to the chosen object types.
- **Data collection**: Use the models Recent Classification tab to gather balanced examples across times of day, weather, and distances.
- **Preprocessing**: Ensure examples reflect object crops similar to Frigates boxes; keep the subject centered.
- **Labels**: Keep label names short and consistent; include a `none` class if you plan to ignore uncertain predictions for sub labels.
- **Threshold**: Tune `threshold` per model to reduce false assignments. Start at `0.8` and adjust based on validation.

id: state_classification
title: State Classification
---
State classification allows you to train a custom MobileNetV2 classification model on a fixed region of your camera frame(s) to determine a current state. The model can be configured to run on a schedule and/or when motion is detected in that region.
## Minimum System Requirements
State classification models are lightweight and run very fast on CPU. Inference should be usable on virtually any machine that can run Frigate.
Training the model does briefly use a high amount of system resources for about 13 minutes per training run. On lower-power devices, training may take longer.
## Classes
Classes are the different states an area on your camera can be in. Each class represents a distinct visual state that the model will learn to recognize.
For state classification:
- Define classes that represent mutually exclusive states
- Examples: `open` and `closed` for a garage door, `on` and `off` for lights
- Use at least 2 classes (typically binary states work best)
- Keep class names clear and descriptive
## Example use cases
- **Door state**: Detect if a garage or front door is open vs closed.
- **Gate state**: Track if a driveway gate is open or closed.
- **Trash day**: Bins at curb vs no bins present.
- **Pool cover**: Cover on vs off.
## Configuration
State classification is configured as a custom classification model. Each model has its own name and settings. You must provide at least one camera crop under `state_config.cameras`.
```yaml
classification:
custom:
front_door:
threshold: 0.8
state_config:
motion: true # run when motion overlaps the crop
interval: 10 # also run every N seconds (optional)
cameras:
front:
crop: [0, 180, 220, 400]
```
## Training the model
Creating and training the model is done within the Frigate UI using the `Classification` page. The process consists of three steps:
### Step 1: Name and Define
Enter a name for your model and define at least 2 classes (states) that represent mutually exclusive states. For example, `open` and `closed` for a door, or `on` and `off` for lights.
### Step 2: Select the Crop Area
Choose one or more cameras and draw a rectangle over the area of interest for each camera. The crop should be tight around the region you want to classify to avoid extra signals unrelated to what is being classified. You can drag and resize the rectangle to adjust the crop area.
### Step 3: Assign Training Examples
The system will automatically generate example images from your camera feeds. You'll be guided through each class one at a time to select which images represent that state.
**Important**: All images must be assigned to a state before training can begin. This includes images that may not be optimal, such as when people temporarily block the view, sun glare is present, or other distractions occur. Assign these images to the state that is actually present (based on what you know the state to be), not based on the distraction. This training helps the model correctly identify the state even when such conditions occur during inference.
Once all images are assigned, training will begin automatically.
### Improving the Model
- **Problem framing**: Keep classes visually distinct and state-focused (e.g., `open`, `closed`, `unknown`). Avoid combining object identity with state in a single model unless necessary.
- **Data collection**: Use the model's Recent Classifications tab to gather balanced examples across times of day and weather.
- **When to train**: Focus on cases where the model is entirely incorrect or flips between states when it should not. There's no need to train additional images when the model is already working consistently.
- **Selecting training images**: Images scoring below 100% due to new conditions (e.g., first snow of the year, seasonal changes) or variations (e.g., objects temporarily in view, insects at night) are good candidates for training, as they represent scenarios different from the default state. Training these lower-scoring images that differ from existing training data helps prevent overfitting. Avoid training large quantities of images that look very similar, especially if they already score 100% as this can lead to overfitting.

When running a default COCO model or another model that does not include `face` as a detectable label, face detection will run via CV2 using a lightweight DNN model that runs on the CPU. In this case, you should _not_ define `face` in your list of objects to track.
:::note
Frigate needs to first detect a `person` before it can detect and recognize a face.
:::
### Face Recognition
Frigate has support for two face recognition model types:
- **small**: Frigate will run a FaceNet embedding model to recognize faces, which runs locally on the CPU. This model is optimized for efficiency and is not as accurate.
- **large**: Frigate will run a large ArcFace embedding model that is optimized for accuracy. It is only recommended to be run when an integrated or dedicated GPU / NPU is available.
- **large**: Frigate will run a large ArcFace embedding model that is optimized for accuracy. It is only recommended to be run when an integrated or dedicated GPU is available.
In both cases, a lightweight face landmark detection model is also used to align faces before running recognition.
All of these features run locally on your system.
## Minimum System Requirements
The `small` model is optimized for efficiency and runs on the CPU, most CPUs should run the model efficiently.
The `large` model is optimized for accuracy, an integrated or discrete GPU / NPU is required. See the [Hardware Accelerated Enrichments](/configuration/hardware_acceleration_enrichments.md) documentation.

### Understanding the Recent Recognitions Tab
The Recent Recognitions tab in the face library displays recent face recognition attempts. Detected face images are grouped according to the person they were identified as potentially matching.
Each face image is labeled with a name (or `Unknown`) along with the confidence score of the recognition attempt. While each image can be used to train the system for a specific person, not all images are suitable for training.
Refer to the guidelines below for best practices on selecting images for training.
### Step 1 - Building a Strong Foundation
When first enabling face recognition it is important to build a foundation of strong images. It is recommended to start by uploading 1-5 photos containing just this person's face. It is important that the person's face in the photo is front-facing and not turned, this will ensure a good starting point.
When first enabling face recognition it is important to build a foundation of strong images. It is recommended to start by uploading 1-5 "portrait" photos for each person. It is important that the person's face in the photo is straight-on and not turned which will ensure a good starting point.
Then it is recommended to use the `Face Library` tab in Frigate to select and train images for each person as they are detected. When building a strong foundation it is strongly recommended to only train on images that are front-facing. Ignore images from cameras that recognize faces from an angle. Aim to strike a balance between the quality of images while also having a range of conditions (day / night, different weather conditions, different times of day, etc.) in order to have diversity in the images used for each person and not have over-fitting.

You do not want to train images that are 90%+ as these are already being confidently recognized. In this step the goal is to train on clear, lower scoring front-facing images until the majority of front-facing images for a given person are consistently recognized correctly. Then it is time to move on to step 2.
Aim to strike a balance between the quality of images while also having a range of conditions (day / night, different weather conditions, different times of day, etc.) in order to have diversity in the images used for each person and not have over-fitting.
Once a person starts to be consistently recognized correctly on images that are straight-on, it is time to move on to the next step.
### Step 2 - Expanding The Dataset
Once front-facing images are performing well, start choosing slightly off-angle images to include for training. It is important to still choose images where enough face detail is visible to recognize someone, and you still only want to train on images that score lower.

## FAQ
### How do I debug Face Recognition issues?
Start with the [Usage](#usage) section and re-read the [Model Requirements](#model-requirements) above.
1. Ensure `person` is being _detected_. A `person` will automatically be scanned by Frigate for a face. Any detected faces will appear in the Recent Recognitions tab in the Frigate UI's Face Library.
If you are using a Frigate+ or `face` detecting model:
- Watch the debug view (Settings --> Debug) to ensure that `face` is being detected along with `person`.
- You may need to adjust the `min_score` for the `face` object if faces are not being detected.
If you are **not** using a Frigate+ or `face` detecting model:
- Check your `detect` stream resolution and ensure it is sufficiently high enough to capture face details on `person` objects.
- You may need to lower your `detection_threshold` if faces are not being detected.
2. Any detected faces will then be _recognized_.
- Make sure you have trained at least one face per the recommendations above.
- Adjust `recognition_threshold` settings per the suggestions [above](#advanced-configuration).
### Detection does not work well with blurry images?
Accuracy is definitely a going to be improved with higher quality cameras / streams. It is important to look at the DORI (Detection Observation Recognition Identification) range of your camera, if that specification is posted. This specification explains the distance from the camera that a person can be detected, observed, recognized, and identified. The identification range is the most relevant here, and the distance listed by the camera is the furthest that face recognition will realistically work.
Some users have also noted that setting the stream in camera firmware to a constant bit rate (CBR) leads to better image clarity than with a variable bit rate (VBR).
### Why can't I bulk upload photos?
It is important to methodically add photos to the library, bulk importing photos (especially from a general photo library) will lead to over-fitting in that particular scenario and hurt recognition performance.
@ -179,16 +122,7 @@ This can happen for a few different reasons, but this is usually an indicator th
- When you provide images with different poses, lighting, and expressions, the algorithm extracts features that are consistent across those variations.
- By training on a diverse set of images, the algorithm becomes less sensitive to minor variations and noise in the input image.
Review your face collections and remove most of the unclear or low-quality images. Then, use the **Reprocess** button on each face in the **Train** tab to evaluate how the changes affect recognition scores.
Avoid training on images that already score highly, as this can lead to over-fitting. Instead, focus on relatively clear images that score lower - ideally with different lighting, angles, and conditions—to help the model generalize more effectively.
### Frigate misidentified a face. Can I tell it that a face is "not" a specific person?
No, face recognition does not support negative training (i.e., explicitly telling it who someone is _not_). Instead, the best approach is to improve the training data by using a more diverse and representative set of images for each person.
For more guidance, refer to the section above on improving recognition accuracy.
### I see scores above the threshold in the Recent Recognitions tab, but a sub label wasn't assigned?
### I see scores above the threshold in the train tab, but a sub label wasn't assigned?
The Frigate considers the recognition scores across all recognition attempts for each person object. The scores are continually weighted based on the area of the face, and a sub label will only be assigned to person if a person is confidently recognized consistently. This avoids cases where a single high confidence recognition would throw off the results.

### I get an unknown error when taking a photo directly with my iPhone
By default iOS devices will use HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) for images, but this format is not supported for uploads. Choosing `large` as the format instead of `original` will use JPG which will work correctly.
### How can I delete the face database and start over?
Frigate does not store anything in its database related to face recognition. You can simply delete all of your faces through the Frigate UI or remove the contents of the `/media/frigate/clips/faces` directory.

To use Generative AI, you must define a single provider at the global level of your Frigate configuration. If the provider you choose requires an API key, you may either directly paste it in your configuration, or store it in an environment variable prefixed with `FRIGATE_`.

By default, descriptions will be generated for all tracked objects and all zones. But you can also optionally specify `objects` and `required_zones` to only generate descriptions for certain tracked objects or zones.
Optionally, you can generate the description using a snapshot (if enabled) by setting `use_snapshot` to `True`. By default, this is set to `False`, which sends the uncompressed images from the `detect` stream collected over the object's lifetime to the model. Once the object lifecycle ends, only a single compressed and cropped thumbnail is saved with the tracked object. Using a snapshot might be useful when you want to _regenerate_ a tracked object's description as it will provide the AI with a higher-quality image (typically downscaled by the AI itself) than the cropped/compressed thumbnail. Using a snapshot otherwise has a trade-off in that only a single image is sent to your provider, which will limit the model's ability to determine object movement or direction.
Generative AI can also be toggled dynamically for a camera via MQTT with the topic `frigate/<camera_name>/object_descriptions/set`. See the [MQTT documentation](/integrations/mqtt/#frigatecamera_nameobjectdescriptionsset).

## Configuration
A Generative AI provider can be configured in the global config, which will make the Generative AI features available for use. There are currently 3 native providers available to integrate with Frigate. Other providers that support the OpenAI standard API can also be used. See the OpenAI section below.
To use Generative AI, you must define a single provider at the global level of your Frigate configuration. If the provider you choose requires an API key, you may either directly paste it in your configuration, or store it in an environment variable prefixed with `FRIGATE_`.
## Ollama
:::warning
Using Ollama on CPU is not recommended, high inference times make using Generative AI impractical.
:::
[Ollama](https://ollama.com/) allows you to self-host large language models and keep everything running locally. It provides a nice API over [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). It is highly recommended to host this server on a machine with an Nvidia graphics card, or on a Apple silicon Mac for best performance.
Most of the 7b parameter 4-bit vision models will fit inside 8GB of VRAM. There is also a [Docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama) available.
Parallel requests also come with some caveats. You will need to set `OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=1` and choose a `OLLAMA_MAX_QUEUE` and `OLLAMA_MAX_LOADED_MODELS` values that are appropriate for your hardware and preferences. See the [Ollama documentation](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#how-does-ollama-handle-concurrent-requests).
### Supported Models
You must use a vision capable model with Frigate. Current model variants can be found [in their model library](https://ollama.com/library). Note that Frigate will not automatically download the model you specify in your config, Ollama will try to download the model but it may take longer than the timeout, it is recommended to pull the model beforehand by running `ollama pull your_model` on your Ollama server/Docker container. Note that the model specified in Frigate's config must match the downloaded model tag.
:::info
Each model is available in multiple parameter sizes (3b, 4b, 8b, etc.). Larger sizes are more capable of complex tasks and understanding of situations, but requires more memory and computational resources. It is recommended to try multiple models and experiment to see which performs best.
:::
:::tip
If you are trying to use a single model for Frigate and HomeAssistant, it will need to support vision and tools calling. qwen3-VL supports vision and tools simultaneously in Ollama.

| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `qwen3-vl` | Strong visual and situational understanding, higher vram requirement |
| `Intern3.5VL` | Relatively fast with good vision comprehension |
| `gemma3` | Strong frame-to-frame understanding, slower inference times |
| `qwen2.5-vl` | Fast but capable model with good vision comprehension |

title: Object Descriptions
---
Generative AI can be used to automatically generate descriptive text based on the thumbnails of your tracked objects. This helps with [Semantic Search](/configuration/semantic_search) in Frigate to provide more context about your tracked objects. Descriptions are accessed via the _Explore_ view in the Frigate UI by clicking on a tracked object's thumbnail.
Requests for a description are sent off automatically to your AI provider at the end of the tracked object's lifecycle, or can optionally be sent earlier after a number of significantly changed frames, for example in use in more real-time notifications. Descriptions can also be regenerated manually via the Frigate UI. Note that if you are manually entering a description for tracked objects prior to its end, this will be overwritten by the generated response.
By default, descriptions will be generated for all tracked objects and all zones. But you can also optionally specify `objects` and `required_zones` to only generate descriptions for certain tracked objects or zones.
Optionally, you can generate the description using a snapshot (if enabled) by setting `use_snapshot` to `True`. By default, this is set to `False`, which sends the uncompressed images from the `detect` stream collected over the object's lifetime to the model. Once the object lifecycle ends, only a single compressed and cropped thumbnail is saved with the tracked object. Using a snapshot might be useful when you want to _regenerate_ a tracked object's description as it will provide the AI with a higher-quality image (typically downscaled by the AI itself) than the cropped/compressed thumbnail. Using a snapshot otherwise has a trade-off in that only a single image is sent to your provider, which will limit the model's ability to determine object movement or direction.
Generative AI object descriptions can also be toggled dynamically for a camera via MQTT with the topic `frigate/<camera_name>/object_descriptions/set`. See the [MQTT documentation](/integrations/mqtt/#frigatecamera_nameobjectdescriptionsset).
## Usage and Best Practices
Frigate's thumbnail search excels at identifying specific details about tracked objects for example, using an "image caption" approach to find a "person wearing a yellow vest," "a white dog running across the lawn," or "a red car on a residential street." To enhance this further, Frigates default prompts are designed to ask your AI provider about the intent behind the object's actions, rather than just describing its appearance.
While generating simple descriptions of detected objects is useful, understanding intent provides a deeper layer of insight. Instead of just recognizing "what" is in a scene, Frigates default prompts aim to infer "why" it might be there or "what" it could do next. Descriptions tell you whats happening, but intent gives context. For instance, a person walking toward a door might seem like a visitor, but if theyre moving quickly after hours, you can infer a potential break-in attempt. Detecting a person loitering near a door at night can trigger an alert sooner than simply noting "a person standing by the door," helping you respond based on the situations context.
## Custom Prompts
Frigate sends multiple frames from the tracked object along with a prompt to your Generative AI provider asking it to generate a description. The default prompt is as follows:
```
Analyze the sequence of images containing the {label}. Focus on the likely intent or behavior of the {label} based on its actions and movement, rather than describing its appearance or the surroundings. Consider what the {label} is doing, why, and what it might do next.
```
:::tip
Prompts can use variable replacements `{label}`, `{sub_label}`, and `{camera}` to substitute information from the tracked object as part of the prompt.
:::
You are also able to define custom prompts in your configuration.
```yaml
genai:
provider: ollama
base_url: http://localhost:11434
model: llava
objects:
prompt: "Analyze the {label} in these images from the {camera} security camera. Focus on the actions, behavior, and potential intent of the {label}, rather than just describing its appearance."
object_prompts:
person: "Examine the main person in these images. What are they doing and what might their actions suggest about their intent (e.g., approaching a door, leaving an area, standing still)? Do not describe the surroundings or static details."
car: "Observe the primary vehicle in these images. Focus on its movement, direction, or purpose (e.g., parking, approaching, circling). If it's a delivery vehicle, mention the company."
```
Prompts can also be overridden at the camera level to provide a more detailed prompt to the model about your specific camera, if you desire.
```yaml

title: Review Summaries
---
Generative AI can be used to automatically generate structured summaries of review items. These summaries will show up in Frigate's native notifications as well as in the UI. Generative AI can also be used to take a collection of summaries over a period of time and provide a report, which may be useful to get a quick report of everything that happened while out for some amount of time.
Requests for a summary are requested automatically to your AI provider for alert review items when the activity has ended, they can also be optionally enabled for detections as well.
Generative AI review summaries can also be toggled dynamically for a [camera via MQTT](/integrations/mqtt/#frigatecamera_namereviewdescriptionsset).
## Review Summary Usage and Best Practices
Review summaries provide structured JSON responses that are saved for each review item:
```
- `title` (string): A concise, direct title that describes the purpose or overall action (e.g., "Person taking out trash", "Joe walking dog").
- `scene` (string): A narrative description of what happens across the sequence from start to finish, including setting, detected objects, and their observable actions.
- `confidence` (float): 0-1 confidence in the analysis. Higher confidence when objects/actions are clearly visible and context is unambiguous.
- `other_concerns` (list): List of user-defined concerns that may need additional investigation.
- `potential_threat_level` (integer): 0, 1, or 2 as defined below.
```
This will show in multiple places in the UI to give additional context about each activity, and allow viewing more details when extra attention is required. Frigate's built in notifications will also automatically show the title and description when the data is available.
### Defining Typical Activity
Each installation and even camera can have different parameters for what is considered suspicious activity. Frigate allows the `activity_context_prompt` to be defined globally and at the camera level, which allows you to define more specifically what should be considered normal activity. It is important that this is not overly specific as it can sway the output of the response.
<details>
<summary>Default Activity Context Prompt</summary>
```
### Normal Activity Indicators (Level 0)
- Known/verified people in any zone at any time
- People with pets in residential areas
- Deliveries or services during daytime/evening (6 AM - 10 PM): carrying packages to doors/porches, placing items, leaving
- Services/maintenance workers with visible tools, uniforms, or service vehicles during daytime
- Activity confined to public areas only (sidewalks, streets) without entering property at any time
### Suspicious Activity Indicators (Level 1)
- **Testing or attempting to open doors/windows/handles on vehicles or buildings** — ALWAYS Level 1 regardless of time or duration
- **Unidentified person in private areas (driveways, near vehicles/buildings) during late night/early morning (11 PM - 5 AM)** — ALWAYS Level 1 regardless of activity or duration
- Taking items that don't belong to them (packages, objects from porches/driveways)
- Climbing or jumping fences/barriers to access property
- Attempting to conceal actions or items from view
- Prolonged loitering: remaining in same area without visible purpose throughout most of the sequence
### Critical Threat Indicators (Level 2)
- Holding break-in tools (crowbars, pry bars, bolt cutters)
- Weapons visible (guns, knives, bats used aggressively)
- Forced entry in progress
- Physical aggression or violence
- Active property damage or theft in progress
### Assessment Guidance
Evaluate in this order:
1. **If person is verified/known** → Level 0 regardless of time or activity
2. **If person is unidentified:**
- Check time: If late night/early morning (11 PM - 5 AM) AND in private areas (driveways, near vehicles/buildings) → Level 1
- Check actions: If testing doors/handles, taking items, climbing → Level 1
- Otherwise, if daytime/evening (6 AM - 10 PM) with clear legitimate purpose (delivery, service worker) → Level 0
3. **Escalate to Level 2 if:** Weapons, break-in tools, forced entry in progress, violence, or active property damage visible (escalates from Level 0 or 1)
The mere presence of an unidentified person in private areas during late night hours is inherently suspicious and warrants human review, regardless of what activity they appear to be doing or how brief the sequence is.
```
</details>
### Image Source
By default, review summaries use preview images (cached preview frames) which have a lower resolution but use fewer tokens per image. For better image quality and more detailed analysis, you can configure Frigate to extract frames directly from recordings at a higher resolution:
```yaml
review:
genai:
enabled: true
image_source: recordings # Options: "preview" (default) or "recordings"
```
When using `recordings`, frames are extracted at 480px height while maintaining the camera's original aspect ratio, providing better detail for the LLM while being mindful of context window size. This is particularly useful for scenarios where fine details matter, such as identifying license plates, reading text, or analyzing distant objects.
The number of frames sent to the LLM is dynamically calculated based on:
- Your LLM provider's context window size
- The camera's resolution and aspect ratio (ultrawide cameras like 32:9 use more tokens per image)
- The image source (recordings use more tokens than preview images)
Frame counts are automatically optimized to use ~98% of the available context window while capping at 20 frames maximum to ensure reasonable inference times. Note that using recordings will:
- Provide higher quality images to the LLM (480p vs 180p preview images)
- Use more tokens per image due to higher resolution
- Result in fewer frames being sent for ultrawide cameras due to larger image size
- Require that recordings are enabled for the camera
If recordings are not available for a given time period, the system will automatically fall back to using preview frames.
### Additional Concerns
Along with the concern of suspicious activity or immediate threat, you may have concerns such as animals in your garden or a gate being left open. These concerns can be configured so that the review summaries will make note of them if the activity requires additional review. For example:
```yaml
review:
genai:
enabled: true
additional_concerns:
- animals in the garden
```
## Review Reports
Along with individual review item summaries, Generative AI provides the ability to request a report of a given time period. For example, you can get a daily report while on a vacation of any suspicious activity or other concerns that may require review.
### Requesting Reports Programmatically
Review reports can be requested via the [API](/integrations/api#review-summarization) by sending a POST request to `/api/review/summarize/start/{start_ts}/end/{end_ts}` with Unix timestamps.
For Home Assistant users, there is a built-in service (`frigate.generate_review_summary`) that makes it easy to request review reports as part of automations or scripts. This allows you to automatically generate daily summaries, vacation reports, or custom time period reports based on your specific needs.

A common use case may be to read the license plates of cars pulling into a driveway or cars passing by on a street.
LPR works best when the license plate is clearly visible to the camera. For moving vehicles, Frigate continuously refines the recognition process, keeping the most confident result. When a vehicle becomes stationary, LPR continues to run for a short time after to attempt recognition.

- pattern: r'(\w{3})(\w{3})' # Split 6 chars into groups (e.g., ABC123 → ABC-123)
replacement: r'\1-\2'

### Can I run LPR without detecting `car` objects?
In normal LPR mode, Frigate requires a `car` or `motorcycle` to be detected first before recognizing a license plate. If you have a dedicated LPR camera, you can change the camera `type` to `"lpr"` to use the Dedicated LPR Camera algorithm. This comes with important caveats, though.

### How do I debug LPR issues?
Start with ["Why isn't my license plate being detected and recognized?"](#why-isnt-my-license-plate-being-detected-and-recognized). If you are still having issues, work through these steps.
- View MQTT messages for `frigate/events` to verify detected plates.
- If you are using a Frigate+ model or a model that detects license plates, watch the debug view (Settings --> Debug) to ensure that `license_plate` is being detected with a `car`.
- Watch the debug view to see plates recognized in real-time. For non-dedicated LPR cameras, the `car` label will change to the recognized plate when LPR is enabled and working.
- Adjust `detection_threshold` and `recognition_threshold` settings per the suggestions [above](#advanced-configuration).
- Enable `debug_save_plates` to save images of detected text on plates to the clips directory (`/media/frigate/clips/lpr`). Ensure these images are readable and the text is clear.
- Enable debug logs for LPR by adding `frigate.data_processing.common.license_plate: debug` to your `logger` configuration. These logs are _very_ verbose, so only enable this when necessary.

- You may need to adjust your `min_score` and/or `threshold` for the `license_plate` object if your plates are not being detected.
If you are **not** using a Frigate+ or `license_plate` detecting model:
- Watch the debug logs for messages from the YOLOv9 plate detector.

### I see "Error running ... model" in my logs. How can I fix this?
This usually happens when your GPU is unable to compile or use one of the LPR models. Set your `device` to `CPU` and try again. GPU acceleration only provides a slight performance increase, and the models are lightweight enough to run without issue on most CPUs.
If you are using dedicated LPR camera mode, only a _motion mask_ over your timestamp is required.

- Video codec: **H.264** - provides the most compatible video codec with all Live view technologies and browsers. Avoid any kind of "smart codec" or "+" codec like _H.264+_ or _H.265+_. as these non-standard codecs remove keyframes (see below).

For example, if your stream outputs 20fps, your i-frame interval should be 20 (or 1x on Reolink). Values higher than the frame rate will cause the stream to take longer to begin playback. See [this page](https://gardinal.net/understanding-the-keyframe-interval/) for more on keyframes. For many users this may not be an issue, but it should be noted that a 1x i-frame interval will cause more storage utilization if you are using the stream for the `record` role as well.

When disabled, Frigate's ffmpeg processes are terminated — recording stops, object detection is paused, and the Live dashboard displays a blank image with a disabled message. Review items, tracked objects, and historical footage for disabled cameras can still be accessed via the UI.

### Live player error messages
When your browser runs into problems playing back your camera streams, it will log short error messages to the browser console. They indicate playback, codec, or network issues on the client/browser side, not something server side with Frigate itself. Below are the common messages you may see and simple actions you can take to try to resolve them.
- **startup**
- What it means: The player failed to initialize or connect to the live stream (network or startup error).
- What to try: Reload the Live view or click _Reset_. Verify `go2rtc` is running and the camera stream is reachable. Try switching to a different stream from the Live UI dropdown (if available) or use a different browser.
- Possible console messages from the player code:
- `Error opening MediaSource.`
- `Browser reported a network error.`
- `Max error count ${errorCount} exceeded.` (the numeric value will vary)
- **mse-decode**
- What it means: The browser reported a decoding error while trying to play the stream, which usually is a result of a codec incompatibility or corrupted frames.
- What to try: Check the browser console for the supported and negotiated codecs. Ensure your camera/restream is using H.264 video and AAC audio (these are the most compatible). If your camera uses a non-standard audio codec, configure `go2rtc` to transcode the stream to AAC. Try another browser (some browsers have stricter MSE/codec support) and, for iPhone, ensure you're on iOS 17.1 or newer.
- Possible console messages from the player code:
- `Safari cannot open MediaSource.`
- `Safari reported InvalidStateError.`
- `Safari reported decoding errors.`
- **stalled**
- What it means: Playback has stalled because the player has fallen too far behind live (extended buffering or no data arriving).
- What to try: This is usually indicative of the browser struggling to decode too many high-resolution streams at once. Try selecting a lower-bandwidth stream (substream), reduce the number of live streams open, improve the network connection, or lower the camera resolution. Also check your camera's keyframe (I-frame) interval — shorter intervals make playback start and recover faster. You can also try increasing the timeout value in the UI pane of Frigate's settings.
- Possible console messages from the player code:
- `Buffer time (10 seconds) exceeded, browser may not be playing media correctly.`
- `Media playback has stalled after <n> seconds due to insufficient buffering or a network interruption.` (the seconds value will vary)
## Live view FAQ
1. **Why don't I have audio in my Live view?**
@ -266,27 +217,7 @@ When your browser runs into problems playing back your camera streams, it will l
If you are using continuous streaming or you are loading more than a few high resolution streams at once on the dashboard, your browser may struggle to begin playback of your streams before the timeout. Frigate always prioritizes showing a live stream as quickly as possible, even if it is a lower quality jsmpeg stream. You can use the "Reset" link/button to try loading your high resolution stream again.
Errors in stream playback (e.g., connection failures, codec issues, or buffering timeouts) that cause the fallback to low bandwidth mode (jsmpeg) are logged to the browser console for easier debugging. These errors may include:
- Network issues (e.g., MSE or WebRTC network connection problems).
- Unsupported codecs or stream formats (e.g., H.265 in WebRTC, which is not supported in some browsers).
- Buffering timeouts or low bandwidth conditions causing fallback to jsmpeg.
- Browser compatibility problems (e.g., iOS Safari limitations with MSE).
To view browser console logs:
1. Open the Frigate Live View in your browser.
2. Open the browser's Developer Tools (F12 or right-click > Inspect > Console tab).
3. Reproduce the error (e.g., load a problematic stream or simulate network issues).
4. Look for messages prefixed with the camera name.
These logs help identify if the issue is player-specific (MSE vs. WebRTC) or related to camera configuration (e.g., go2rtc streams, codecs). If you see frequent errors:
- Verify your camera's H.264/AAC settings (see [Frigate's camera settings recommendations](#camera_settings_recommendations)).
- Check go2rtc configuration for transcoding (e.g., audio to AAC/OPUS).
- Test with a different stream via the UI dropdown (if `live -> streams` is configured).
- For WebRTC-specific issues, ensure port 8555 is forwarded and candidates are set (see (WebRTC Extra Configuration)(#webrtc-extra-configuration)).
- If your cameras are streaming at a high resolution, your browser may be struggling to load all of the streams before the buffering timeout occurs. Frigate prioritizes showing a true live view as quickly as possible. If the fallback occurs often, change your live view settings to use a lower bandwidth substream.
If you are still experiencing Frigate falling back to low bandwidth mode, you may need to adjust your camera's settings per the [recommendations above](#camera_settings_recommendations).

6. **I have unmuted some cameras on my dashboard, but I do not hear sound. Why?**
If your camera is streaming (as indicated by a red dot in the upper right, or if it has been set to continuous streaming mode), your browser may be blocking audio until you interact with the page. This is an intentional browser limitation. See [this article](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Autoplay_guide#autoplay_availability). Many browsers have a whitelist feature to change this behavior.
7. **My camera streams have lots of visual artifacts / distortion.**
Some cameras don't include the hardware to support multiple connections to the high resolution stream, and this can cause unexpected behavior. In this case it is recommended to [restream](./restream.md) the high resolution stream so that it can be used for live view and recordings.
8. **Why does my camera stream switch aspect ratios on the Live dashboard?**
Your camera may change aspect ratios on the dashboard because Frigate uses different streams for different purposes. With go2rtc and Smart Streaming, Frigate shows a static image from the `detect` stream when no activity is present, and switches to the live stream when motion is detected. The camera image will change size if your streams use different aspect ratios.
To prevent this, make the `detect` stream match the go2rtc live stream's aspect ratio (resolution does not need to match, just the aspect ratio). You can either adjust the camera's output resolution or set the `width` and `height` values in your config's `detect` section to a resolution with an aspect ratio that matches.
Example: Resolutions from two streams
- Mismatched (may cause aspect ratio switching on the dashboard):
- Live/go2rtc stream: 1920x1080 (16:9)
- Detect stream: 640x352 (~1.82:1, not 16:9)
- Matched (prevents switching):
- Live/go2rtc stream: 1920x1080 (16:9)
- Detect stream: 640x360 (16:9)
You can update the detect settings in your camera config to match the aspect ratio of your go2rtc live stream. For example:
```yaml
cameras:
front_door:
detect:
width: 640
height: 360 # set this to 360 instead of 352
ffmpeg:
inputs:
- path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door # main stream 1920x1080
roles:
- record
- path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/front_door_sub # sub stream 640x352
roles:
- detect

**WARNING**: Recordings still must be enabled in the config. If a camera has recordings disabled in the config, enabling via the methods listed above will have no effect.
## What do the different retain modes mean?
Frigate saves from the stream with the `record` role in 10 second segments. These options determine which recording segments are kept for continuous recording (but can also affect tracked objects).
Let's say you have Frigate configured so that your doorbell camera would retain the last **2** days of continuous recording.
- With the `all` option all 48 hours of those two days would be kept and viewable.
- With the `motion` option the only parts of those 48 hours would be segments that Frigate detected motion. This is the middle ground option that won't keep all 48 hours, but will likely keep all segments of interest along with the potential for some extra segments.
- With the `active_objects` option the only segments that would be kept are those where there was a true positive object that was not considered stationary.
The same options are available with alerts and detections, except it will only save the recordings when it overlaps with a review item of that type.
A configuration example of the above retain modes where all `motion` segments are stored for 7 days and `active objects` are stored for 14 days would be as follows:
```yaml
record:
enabled: True
retain:
days: 7
mode: motion
alerts:
retain:
days: 14
mode: active_objects
detections:
retain:
days: 14
mode: active_objects
```
The above configuration example can be added globally or on a per camera basis.
## Can I have "continuous" recordings, but only at certain times?
Using Frigate UI, Home Assistant, or MQTT, cameras can be automated to only record in certain situations or at certain times.

Not every segment of video captured by Frigate may be of the same level of interest to you. Video of people who enter your property may be a different priority than those walking by on the sidewalk. For this reason, Frigate 0.14 categorizes review items as _alerts_ and _detections_. By default, all person and car objects are considered alerts. You can refine categorization of your review items by configuring required zones for them.
:::note
Alerts and detections categorize the tracked objects in review items, but Frigate must first detect those objects with your configured object detector (Coral, OpenVINO, etc). By default, the object tracker only detects `person`. Setting `labels` for `alerts` and `detections` does not automatically enable detection of new objects. To detect more than `person`, you should add the following to your config:

- car

The [V1 model from Jina](https://huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-clip-v1) has a vision model which is able to embed both images and text into the same vector space, which allows `image -> image` and `text -> image` similarity searches. Frigate uses this model on tracked objects to encode the thumbnail image and store it in the database. When searching for tracked objects via text in the search box, Frigate will perform a `text -> image` similarity search against this embedding. When clicking "Find Similar" in the tracked object detail pane, Frigate will perform an `image -> image` similarity search to retrieve the closest matching thumbnails.
The V1 text model is used to embed tracked object descriptions and perform searches against them.

4. Make your search language and tone closely match exactly what you're looking for. If you are using thumbnail search, **phrase your query as an image caption**. Searching for "red car" may not work as well as "red sedan driving down a residential street on a sunny day".
5. Semantic search on thumbnails tends to return better results when matching large subjects that take up most of the frame. Small things like "cat" tend to not work well.
6. Experiment! Find a tracked object you want to test and start typing keywords and phrases to see what works for you.
## Triggers
Triggers utilize Semantic Search to automate actions when a tracked object matches a specified image or description. Triggers can be configured so that Frigate executes a specific actions when a tracked object's image or description matches a predefined image or text, based on a similarity threshold. Triggers are managed per camera and can be configured via the Frigate UI in the Settings page under the Triggers tab.
:::note
Semantic Search must be enabled to use Triggers.
:::
### Configuration
Triggers are defined within the `semantic_search` configuration for each camera in your Frigate configuration file or through the UI. Each trigger consists of a `friendly_name`, a `type` (either `thumbnail` or `description`), a `data` field (the reference image event ID or text), a `threshold` for similarity matching, and a list of `actions` to perform when the trigger fires - `notification`, `sub_label`, and `attribute`.
Triggers are best configured through the Frigate UI.
#### Managing Triggers in the UI
1. Navigate to the **Settings** page and select the **Triggers** tab.
2. Choose a camera from the dropdown menu to view or manage its triggers.
3. Click **Add Trigger** to create a new trigger or use the pencil icon to edit an existing one.
4. In the **Create Trigger** wizard:
- Enter a **Name** for the trigger (e.g., "Red Car Alert").
- Enter a descriptive **Friendly Name** for the trigger (e.g., "Red car on the driveway camera").
- Select the **Type** (`Thumbnail` or `Description`).
- For `Thumbnail`, select an image to trigger this action when a similar thumbnail image is detected, based on the threshold.
- For `Description`, enter text to trigger this action when a similar tracked object description is detected.
- Set the **Threshold** for similarity matching.
- Select **Actions** to perform when the trigger fires.
If native webpush notifications are enabled, check the `Send Notification` box to send a notification.
Check the `Add Sub Label` box to add the trigger's friendly name as a sub label to any triggering tracked objects.
Check the `Add Attribute` box to add the trigger's internal ID (e.g., "red_car_alert") to a data attribute on the tracked object that can be processed via the API or MQTT.
5. Save the trigger to update the configuration and store the embedding in the database.
When a trigger fires, the UI highlights the trigger with a blue dot for 3 seconds for easy identification. Additionally, the UI will show the last date/time and tracked object ID that activated your trigger. The last triggered timestamp is not saved to the database or persisted through restarts of Frigate.
### Usage and Best Practices
1. **Thumbnail Triggers**: Select a representative image (event ID) from the Explore page that closely matches the object you want to detect. For best results, choose images where the object is prominent and fills most of the frame.
2. **Description Triggers**: Write concise, specific text descriptions (e.g., "Person in a red jacket") that align with the tracked objects description. Avoid vague terms to improve matching accuracy.
3. **Threshold Tuning**: Adjust the threshold to balance sensitivity and specificity. A higher threshold (e.g., 0.8) requires closer matches, reducing false positives but potentially missing similar objects. A lower threshold (e.g., 0.6) is more inclusive but may trigger more often.
4. **Using Explore**: Use the context menu or right-click / long-press on a tracked object in the Grid View in Explore to quickly add a trigger based on the tracked object's thumbnail.
5. **Editing triggers**: For the best experience, triggers should be edited via the UI. However, Frigate will ensure triggers edited in the config will be synced with triggers created and edited in the UI.
### Notes
- Triggers rely on the same Jina AI CLIP models (V1 or V2) used for semantic search. Ensure `semantic_search` is enabled and properly configured.
- Reindexing embeddings (via the UI or `reindex: True`) does not affect trigger configurations but may update the embeddings used for matching.
- For optimal performance, use a system with sufficient RAM (8GB minimum, 16GB recommended) and a GPU for `large` model configurations, as described in the Semantic Search requirements.
### FAQ
#### Why can't I create a trigger on thumbnails for some text, like "person with a blue shirt" and have it trigger when a person with a blue shirt is detected?
TL;DR: Text-to-image triggers arent supported because CLIP can confuse similar images and give inconsistent scores, making automation unreliable. The same wordimage pair can give different scores and the score ranges can be too close together to set a clear cutoff.
Text-to-image triggers are not supported due to fundamental limitations of CLIP-based similarity search. While CLIP works well for exploratory, manual queries, it is unreliable for automated triggers based on a threshold. Issues include embedding drift (the same textimage pair can yield different cosine distances over time), lack of true semantic grounding (visually similar but incorrect matches), and unstable thresholding (distance distributions are dataset-dependent and often too tightly clustered to separate relevant from irrelevant results). Instead, it is recommended to set up a workflow with thumbnail triggers: first use text search to manually select 35 representative reference tracked objects, then configure thumbnail triggers based on that visual similarity. This provides robust automation without the semantic ambiguity of text to image matching.

### Zone Loitering
Sometimes objects are expected to be passing through a zone, but an object loitering in an area is unexpected. Zones can be configured to have a minimum loitering time after which the object will be considered in the zone.
:::note
When using loitering zones, a review item will behave in the following way:
- When a person is in a loitering zone, the review item will remain active until the person leaves the loitering zone, regardless of if they are stationary.
- When any other object is in a loitering zone, the review item will remain active until the loitering time is met. Then if the object is stationary the review item will end.
When using loitering zones, a review item will remain active until the object leaves. Loitering zones are only meant to be used in areas where loitering is not expected behavior.

#### Best practices and caveats
- Speed estimation works best with a straight road or path when your object travels in a straight line across that path. Avoid creating your zone near intersections or anywhere that objects would make a turn.
- Create a zone where the bottom center of your object's bounding box travels directly through it and does not become obscured at any time.
- A large zone can be used (as in the photo example above), but it may cause inaccurate estimation if the object's bounding box changes shape (such as when it turns or becomes partially hidden). Generally it's best to make your zone large enough to capture a few frames, but small enough so that the bounding box doesn't change size as it enters, travels through, and exits the zone.
- Speed estimation works best with a straight road or path when your object travels in a straight line across that path. Avoid creating your zone near intersections or anywhere that objects would make a turn. If the bounding box changes shape (either because the object made a turn or became partially obscured, for example), speed estimation will not be accurate.
- Create a zone where the bottom center of your object's bounding box travels directly through it and does not become obscured at any time. See the photo example above.
- Depending on the size and location of your zone, you may want to decrease the zone's `inertia` value from the default of 3.
- The more accurate your real-world dimensions can be measured, the more accurate speed estimation will be. However, due to the way Frigate's tracking algorithm works, you may need to tweak the real-world distance values so that estimated speeds better match real-world speeds.
- Once an object leaves the zone, speed accuracy will likely decrease due to perspective distortion and misalignment with the calibrated area. Therefore, speed values will show as a zero through MQTT and will not be visible on the debug view when an object is outside of a speed tracking zone.

- **Detection**: This is the only stream that Frigate will decode for processing. Also, this is the stream where snapshots will be generated from. The resolution for detection should be tuned for the size of the objects you want to detect. See [Choosing a detect resolution](#choosing-a-detect-resolution) for more details. The recommended frame rate is 5fps, but may need to be higher (10fps is the recommended maximum for most users) for very fast moving objects. Higher resolutions and frame rates will drive higher CPU usage on your server.

## Cameras
Cameras that output H.264 video and AAC audio will offer the most compatibility with all features of Frigate and Home Assistant. It is also helpful if your camera supports multiple substreams to allow different resolutions to be used for detection, streaming, and recordings without re-encoding.
I recommend Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest in that order. Dahua edges out Hikvision because they are easier to find and order, not because they are better cameras. I personally use Dahua cameras because they are easier to purchase directly. In my experience Dahua and Hikvision both have multiple streams with configurable resolutions and frame rates and rock solid streams. They also both have models with large sensors well known for excellent image quality at night. Not all the models are equal. Larger sensors are better than higher resolutions; especially at night. Amcrest is the fallback recommendation because they are rebranded Dahuas. They are rebranding the lower end models with smaller sensors or less configuration options.
WiFi cameras are not recommended as [their streams are less reliable and cause connection loss and/or lost video data](https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/camera-conflicts.68142/#post-738821), especially when more than a few WiFi cameras will be used at the same time.
Many users have reported various issues with Reolink cameras, so I do not recommend them. If you are using Reolink, I suggest the [Reolink specific configuration](../configuration/camera_specific.md#reolink-cameras). Wifi cameras are also not recommended. Their streams are less reliable and cause connection loss and/or lost video data.
Many users have reported various issues with 4K-plus Reolink cameras, it is best to stick with 5MP and lower for Reolink cameras. If you are using Reolink, I suggest the [Reolink specific configuration](../configuration/camera_specific.md#reolink-cameras).

My current favorite is the Beelink EQ13 because of the efficient N100 CPU and dual NICs that allow you to setup a dedicated private network for your cameras where they can be blocked from accessing the internet. There are many used workstation options on eBay that work very well. Anything with an Intel CPU and capable of running Debian should work fine. As a bonus, you may want to look for devices with a M.2 or PCIe express slot that is compatible with the Google Coral, Hailo, or other AI accelerators.

With an inference speed of 10, your Coral will top out at `1000/10=100`, or 100 frames per second. If your detection fps is regularly getting close to that, you should first consider tuning motion masks. If those are already properly configured, a second Coral may be needed.

### TensorRT - Nvidia GPU
Frigate is able to utilize an Nvidia GPU which supports the 12.x series of CUDA libraries.
#### Minimum Hardware Support
12.x series of CUDA libraries are used which have minor version compatibility. The minimum driver version on the host system must be `>=545`. Also the GPU must support a Compute Capability of `5.0` or greater. This generally correlates to a Maxwell-era GPU or newer, check the NVIDIA GPU Compute Capability table linked below.
Make sure your host system has the [nvidia-container-runtime](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#access-an-nvidia-gpu) installed to pass through the GPU to the container and the host system has a compatible driver installed for your GPU.
There are improved capabilities in newer GPU architectures that TensorRT can benefit from, such as INT8 operations and Tensor cores. The features compatible with your hardware will be optimized when the model is converted to a trt file. Currently the script provided for generating the model provides a switch to enable/disable FP16 operations. If you wish to use newer features such as INT8 optimization, more work is required.
#### Compatibility References:

[NVIDIA GPU Compute Capability](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus)
The TensortRT detector is able to run on x86 hosts that have an Nvidia GPU which supports the 12.x series of CUDA libraries. The minimum driver version on the host system must be `>=525.60.13`. Also the GPU must support a Compute Capability of `5.0` or greater. This generally correlates to a Maxwell-era GPU or newer, check the [TensorRT docs for more info](/configuration/object_detectors#nvidia-tensorrt-detector).
Inference speeds will vary greatly depending on the GPU and the model used.

## Community Supported Detectors
### MemryX MX3
Frigate supports the MemryX MX3 M.2 AI Acceleration Module on compatible hardware platforms, including both x86 (Intel/AMD) and ARM-based SBCs such as Raspberry Pi 5.
A single MemryX MX3 module is capable of handling multiple camera streams using the default models, making it sufficient for most users. For larger deployments with more cameras or bigger models, multiple MX3 modules can be used. Frigate supports multi-detector configurations, allowing you to connect multiple MX3 modules to scale inference capacity.
Detailed information is available [in the detector docs](/configuration/object_detectors#memryx-mx3).
**Default Model Configuration:**
- Default model is **YOLO-NAS-Small**.
The MX3 is a pipelined architecture, where the maximum frames per second supported (and thus supported number of cameras) cannot be calculated as `1/latency` (1/"Inference Time") and is measured separately. When estimating how many camera streams you may support with your configuration, use the **MX3 Total FPS** column to approximate of the detector's limit, not the Inference Time.
| Model | Input Size | MX3 Inference Time | MX3 Total FPS |
| -------------------- | ---------- | ------------------ | ------------- |
| YOLO-NAS-Small | 320 | ~ 9 ms | ~ 378 |
| YOLO-NAS-Small | 640 | ~ 21 ms | ~ 138 |
| YOLOv9s | 320 | ~ 16 ms | ~ 382 |
| YOLOv9s | 640 | ~ 41 ms | ~ 110 |
| YOLOX-Small | 640 | ~ 16 ms | ~ 263 |
| SSDlite MobileNet v2 | 320 | ~ 5 ms | ~ 1056 |
Inference speeds may vary depending on the host platform. The above data was measured on an **Intel 13700 CPU**. Platforms like Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and other ARM-based SBCs have different levels of processing capability, which may limit total FPS.
### Nvidia Jetson
Jetson devices are supported via the TensorRT or ONNX detectors when running Jetpack 6. It will [make use of the Jetson's hardware media engine](/configuration/hardware_acceleration_video#nvidia-jetson-orin-agx-orin-nx-orin-nano-xavier-agx-xavier-nx-tx2-tx1-nano) when configured with the [appropriate presets](/configuration/ffmpeg_presets#hwaccel-presets), and will make use of the Jetson's GPU and DLA for object detection when configured with the [TensorRT detector](/configuration/object_detectors#nvidia-tensorrt-detector).
Frigate supports all Jetson boards, from the inexpensive Jetson Nano to the powerful Jetson Orin AGX. It will [make use of the Jetson's hardware media engine](/configuration/hardware_acceleration_video#nvidia-jetson-orin-agx-orin-nx-orin-nano-xavier-agx-xavier-nx-tx2-tx1-nano) when configured with the [appropriate presets](/configuration/ffmpeg_presets#hwaccel-presets), and will make use of the Jetson's GPU and DLA for object detection when configured with the [TensorRT detector](/configuration/object_detectors#nvidia-tensorrt-detector).
Inference speed will vary depending on the YOLO model, jetson platform and jetson nvpmodel (GPU/DLA/EMC clock speed). It is typically 20-40 ms for most models.

title: Planning a New Installation

Choosing the right hardware for your Frigate NVR setup is important for optimal performance and a smooth experience. This guide will walk you through the key considerations, focusing on the number of cameras and the hardware required for efficient object detection.
## Key Considerations
### Number of Cameras and Simultaneous Activity
The most fundamental factor in your hardware decision is the number of cameras you plan to use. However, it's not just about the raw count; it's also about how many of those cameras are likely to see activity and require object detection simultaneously.
When motion is detected in a camera's feed, regions of that frame are sent to your chosen [object detection hardware](/configuration/object_detectors).
- **Low Simultaneous Activity (1-6 cameras with occasional motion)**: If you have a few cameras in areas with infrequent activity (e.g., a seldom-used backyard, a quiet interior), the demand on your object detection hardware will be lower. A single, entry-level AI accelerator will suffice.
- **Moderate Simultaneous Activity (6-12 cameras with some overlapping motion)**: For setups with more cameras, especially in areas like a busy street or a property with multiple access points, it's more likely that several cameras will capture activity at the same time. This increases the load on your object detection hardware, requiring more processing power.
- **High Simultaneous Activity (12+ cameras or highly active zones)**: Large installations or scenarios where many cameras frequently capture activity (e.g., busy street with overview, identification, dedicated LPR cameras, etc.) will necessitate robust object detection capabilities. You'll likely need multiple entry-level AI accelerators or a more powerful single unit such as a discrete GPU.
- **Commercial Installations (40+ cameras)**: Commercial installations or scenarios where a substantial number of cameras capture activity (e.g., a commercial property, an active public space) will necessitate robust object detection capabilities. You'll likely need a modern discrete GPU.
### Video Decoding
Modern CPUs with integrated GPUs (Intel Quick Sync, AMD VCN) or dedicated GPUs can significantly offload video decoding from the main CPU, freeing up resources. This is highly recommended, especially for multiple cameras.
:::tip
For commercial installations it is important to verify the number of supported concurrent streams on your GPU, many consumer GPUs max out at ~20 concurrent camera streams.
:::
## Hardware Considerations
### Object Detection
There are many different hardware options for object detection depending on priorities and available hardware. See [the recommended hardware page](./hardware.md#detectors) for more specifics on what hardware is recommended for object detection.
### Storage
Storage is an important consideration when planning a new installation. To get a more precise estimate of your storage requirements, you can use an IP camera storage calculator. Websites like [IPConfigure Storage Calculator](https://calculator.ipconfigure.com/) can help you determine the necessary disk space based on your camera settings.
#### SSDs (Solid State Drives)
SSDs are an excellent choice for Frigate, offering high speed and responsiveness. The older concern that SSDs would quickly "wear out" from constant video recording is largely no longer valid for modern consumer and enterprise-grade SSDs.
- Longevity: Modern SSDs are designed with advanced wear-leveling algorithms and significantly higher "Terabytes Written" (TBW) ratings than earlier models. For typical home NVR use, a good quality SSD will likely outlast the useful life of your NVR hardware itself.
- Performance: SSDs excel at handling the numerous small write operations that occur during continuous video recording and can significantly improve the responsiveness of the Frigate UI and clip retrieval.
- Silence and Efficiency: SSDs produce no noise and consume less power than traditional HDDs.
#### HDDs (Hard Disk Drives)
Traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) remain a great and often more cost-effective option for long-term video storage, especially for larger setups where raw capacity is prioritized.
- Cost-Effectiveness: HDDs offer the best cost per gigabyte, making them ideal for storing many days, weeks, or months of continuous footage.
- Capacity: HDDs are available in much larger capacities than most consumer SSDs, which is beneficial for extensive video archives.
- NVR-Rated Drives: If choosing an HDD, consider drives specifically designed for surveillance (NVR) use, such as Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk. These drives are engineered for 24/7 operation and continuous write workloads, offering improved reliability compared to standard desktop drives.
Determining Your Storage Needs
The amount of storage you need will depend on several factors:
- Number of Cameras: More cameras naturally require more space.
- Resolution and Framerate: Higher resolution (e.g., 4K) and higher framerate (e.g., 30fps) streams consume significantly more storage.
- Recording Method: Continuous recording uses the most space. motion-only recording or object-triggered recording can save space, but may miss some footage.
- Retention Period: How many days, weeks, or months of footage do you want to keep?
#### Network Storage (NFS/SMB)
While supported, using network-attached storage (NAS) for recordings can introduce latency and network dependency considerations. For optimal performance and reliability, it is generally recommended to have local storage for your Frigate recordings. If using a NAS, ensure your network connection to it is robust and fast (Gigabit Ethernet at minimum) and that the NAS itself can handle the continuous write load.
### RAM (Memory)
- **Basic Minimum: 4GB RAM**: This is generally sufficient for a very basic Frigate setup with a few cameras and a dedicated object detection accelerator, without running any enrichments. Performance might be tight, especially with higher resolution streams or numerous detections.
- **Minimum for Enrichments: 8GB RAM**: If you plan to utilize Frigate's enrichment features (e.g., facial recognition, license plate recognition, or other AI models that run alongside standard object detection), 8GB of RAM should be considered the minimum. Enrichments require additional memory to load and process their respective models and data.
- **Recommended: 16GB RAM**: For most users, especially those with many cameras (8+) or who plan to heavily leverage enrichments, 16GB of RAM is highly recommended. This provides ample headroom for smooth operation, reduces the likelihood of swapping to disk (which can impact performance), and allows for future expansion.

# Updating Frigate
The current stable version of Frigate is **0.16.2**. The release notes and any breaking changes for this version can be found on the [Frigate GitHub releases page](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/releases/tag/v0.16.2).
Keeping Frigate up to date ensures you benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. The update process varies slightly depending on your installation method (Docker, Home Assistant Addon, etc.). Below are instructions for the most common setups.
## Before You Begin
- **Stop Frigate**: For most methods, youll need to stop the running Frigate instance before backing up and updating.
- **Backup Your Configuration**: Always back up your `/config` directory (e.g., `config.yml` and `frigate.db`, the SQLite database) before updating. This ensures you can roll back if something goes wrong.
- **Check Release Notes**: Carefully review the [Frigate GitHub releases page](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/releases) for breaking changes or configuration updates that might affect your setup.
## Updating with Docker
If youre running Frigate via Docker (recommended method), follow these steps:
1. **Stop the Container**:
- If using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker compose down frigate
```
- If using `docker run`:
```bash
docker stop frigate
```
2. **Update and Pull the Latest Image**:
- If using Docker Compose:
- Edit your `docker-compose.yml` file to specify the desired version tag (e.g., `0.16.2` instead of `0.15.2`). For example:
```yaml
services:
frigate:
image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.16.2
```
- Then pull the image:
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.16.2
```
- **Note for `stable` Tag Users**: If your `docker-compose.yml` uses the `stable` tag (e.g., `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable`), you dont need to update the tag manually. The `stable` tag always points to the latest stable release after pulling.
- If using `docker run`:
- Pull the image with the appropriate tag (e.g., `0.16.2`, `0.16.2-tensorrt`, or `stable`):
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.16.2
```
3. **Start the Container**:
- If using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
- If using `docker run`, re-run your original command (e.g., from the [Installation](./installation.md#docker) section) with the updated image tag.
4. **Verify the Update**:
- Check the container logs to ensure Frigate starts successfully:
```bash
docker logs frigate
```
- Visit the Frigate Web UI (default: `http://<your-ip>:5000`) to confirm the new version is running. The version number is displayed at the top of the System Metrics page.
### Notes
- If youve customized other settings (e.g., `shm-size`), ensure theyre still appropriate after the update.
- Docker will automatically use the updated image when you restart the container, as long as you pulled the correct version.
## Updating the Home Assistant Addon
For users running Frigate as a Home Assistant Addon:
1. **Check for Updates**:
- Navigate to **Settings > Add-ons** in Home Assistant.
- Find your installed Frigate addon (e.g., "Frigate NVR" or "Frigate NVR (Full Access)").
- If an update is available, youll see an "Update" button.
2. **Update the Addon**:
- Click the "Update" button next to the Frigate addon.
- Wait for the process to complete. Home Assistant will handle downloading and installing the new version.
3. **Restart the Addon**:
- After updating, go to the addons page and click "Restart" to apply the changes.
4. **Verify the Update**:
- Check the addon logs (under the "Log" tab) to ensure Frigate starts without errors.
- Access the Frigate Web UI to confirm the new version is running.
### Notes
- Ensure your `/config/frigate.yml` is compatible with the new version by reviewing the [Release notes](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/releases).
- If using custom hardware (e.g., Coral or GPU), verify that configurations still work, as addon updates dont modify your hardware settings.
## Rolling Back
If an update causes issues:
1. Stop Frigate.
2. Restore your backed-up config file and database.
3. Revert to the previous image version:
- For Docker: Specify an older tag (e.g., `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.15.2`) in your `docker run` command.
- For Docker Compose: Edit your `docker-compose.yml`, specify the older version tag (e.g., `ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:0.15.2`), and re-run `docker compose up -d`.
- For Home Assistant: Reinstall the previous addon version manually via the repository if needed and restart the addon.
4. Verify the old version is running again.
## Troubleshooting
- **Container Fails to Start**: Check logs (`docker logs frigate`) for errors.
- **UI Not Loading**: Ensure ports (e.g., 5000, 8971) are still mapped correctly and the service is running.
- **Hardware Issues**: Revisit hardware-specific setup (e.g., Coral, GPU) if detection or decoding fails post-update.
Common questions are often answered in the [FAQ](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions), pinned at the top of the support discussions.

# Configuring go2rtc
Use of the bundled go2rtc is optional. You can still configure FFmpeg to connect directly to your cameras. However, adding go2rtc to your configuration is required for the following features:
- WebRTC or MSE for live viewing with audio, higher resolutions and frame rates than the jsmpeg stream which is limited to the detect stream and does not support audio
- Live stream support for cameras in Home Assistant Integration
- RTSP relay for use with other consumers to reduce the number of connections to your camera streams

### Next steps
## Next steps
1. If the stream you added to go2rtc is also used by Frigate for the `record` or `detect` role, you can migrate your config to pull from the RTSP restream to reduce the number of connections to your camera as shown [here](/configuration/restream#reduce-connections-to-camera).
2. You can [set up WebRTC](/configuration/live#webrtc-extra-configuration) if your camera supports two-way talk. Note that WebRTC only supports specific audio formats and may require opening ports on your router.
2. You may also prefer to [setup WebRTC](/configuration/live#webrtc-extra-configuration) for slightly lower latency than MSE. Note that WebRTC only supports h264 and specific audio formats and may require opening ports on your router.
## Homekit Configuration
## Important considerations
To add camera streams to Homekit Frigate must be configured in docker to use `host` networking mode. Once that is done, you can use the go2rtc WebUI (accessed via port 1984, which is disabled by default) to share export a camera to Homekit. Any changes made will automatically be saved to `/config/go2rtc_homekit.yml`.
If you are configuring go2rtc to publish HomeKit camera streams, on pairing the configuration is written to the `/dev/shm/go2rtc.yaml` file inside the container. These changes must be manually copied across to the `go2rtc` section of your Frigate configuration in order to persist through restarts.

Frigate cameras can be integrated with Apple HomeKit through go2rtc. This allows you to view your camera streams directly in the Apple Home app on your iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS devices.
## Overview
HomeKit integration is handled entirely through go2rtc, which is embedded in Frigate. go2rtc provides the necessary HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) server to expose your cameras to HomeKit.
## Setup
All HomeKit configuration and pairing should be done through the **go2rtc WebUI**.
### Accessing the go2rtc WebUI
The go2rtc WebUI is available at:
```
http://<frigate_host>:1984
```
Replace `<frigate_host>` with the IP address or hostname of your Frigate server.
### Pairing Cameras
1. Navigate to the go2rtc WebUI at `http://<frigate_host>:1984`
2. Use the `add` section to add a new camera to HomeKit
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to generate pairing codes for your cameras
## Requirements
- Frigate must be accessible on your local network using host network_mode
- Your iOS device must be on the same network as Frigate
- Port 1984 must be accessible for the go2rtc WebUI
- For detailed go2rtc configuration options, refer to the [go2rtc documentation](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc)

For the best results, follow these guidelines. You may also want to review the documentation on [improving your model](./index.md#improving-your-model).
You may find that Frigate+ models result in more false positives initially, but by submitting true and false positives, the model will improve. With all the new images now being submitted by subscribers, future base models will improve as more and more examples are incorporated. Note that only images with at least one verified label will be used when training your model. Submitting an image from Frigate as a true or false positive will not verify the image. You still must verify the image in Frigate+ in order for it to be used in training.
- **Submit both true positives and false positives**. This will help the model differentiate between what is and isn't correct. You should aim for a target of 80% true positive submissions and 20% false positives across all of your images. If you are experiencing false positives in a specific area, submitting true positives for any object type near that area in similar lighting conditions will help teach the model what that area looks like when no objects are present.
- **Lower your thresholds a little in order to generate more false/true positives near the threshold value**. For example, if you have some false positives that are scoring at 68% and some true positives scoring at 72%, you can try lowering your threshold to 65% and submitting both true and false positives within that range. This will help the model learn and widen the gap between true and false positive scores.
- **Submit diverse images**. For the best results, you should provide at least 100 verified images per camera. Keep in mind that varying conditions should be included. You will want images from cloudy days, sunny days, dawn, dusk, and night. As circumstances change, you may need to submit new examples to address new types of false positives. For example, the change from summer days to snowy winter days or other changes such as a new grill or patio furniture may require additional examples and training.
## Properly labeling images
For the best results, follow the following guidelines.
**Label every object in the image**: It is important that you label all objects in each image before verifying. If you don't label a car for example, the model will be taught that part of the image is _not_ a car and it will start to get confused. You can exclude labels that you don't want detected on any of your cameras.

## AI suggested labels
If you have an active Frigate+ subscription, new uploads will be scanned for the objects configured for you camera and you will see suggested labels as light blue boxes when annotating in Frigate+. These suggestions are processed via a queue and typically complete within a minute after uploading, but processing times can be longer.
![Suggestions](/img/plus/suggestions.webp)
Suggestions are converted to labels when saving, so you should remove any errant suggestions. There is already some logic designed to avoid duplicate labels, but you may still occasionally see some duplicate suggestions. You should keep the most accurate bounding box and delete any duplicates so that you have just one label per object remaining.
## False positive labels
False positives will be shown with a red box and the label will have a strike through. These can't be adjusted, but they can be deleted if you accidentally submit a true positive as a false positive from Frigate.

There are two model types offered in Frigate+, `mobiledet` and `yolonas`. Both of these models are object detection models and are trained to detect the same set of labels [listed below](#available-label-types).
Not all model types are supported by all detectors, so it's important to choose a model type to match your detector as shown in the table under [supported detector types](#supported-detector-types). You can test model types for compatibility and speed on your hardware by using the base models.

| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `mobiledet` | Based on the same architecture as the default model included with Frigate. Runs on Google Coral devices and CPUs. |
| `yolonas` | A newer architecture that offers slightly higher accuracy and improved detection of small objects. Runs on Intel, NVidia GPUs, and AMD GPUs. |
| `yolov9` | A leading SOTA (state of the art) object detection model with similar performance to yolonas, but on a wider range of hardware options. Runs on Intel, NVidia GPUs, AMD GPUs, Hailo, MemryX\*, Apple Silicon\*, and Rockchip NPUs. |
_\* Support coming in 0.17_
### YOLOv9 Details
YOLOv9 models are available in `s` and `t` sizes. When requesting a `yolov9` model, you will be prompted to choose a size. If you are unsure what size to choose, you should perform some tests with the base models to find the performance level that suits you. The `s` size is most similar to the current `yolonas` models in terms of inference times and accuracy, and a good place to start is the `320x320` resolution model for `yolov9s`.
:::info
When switching to YOLOv9, you may need to adjust your thresholds for some objects.

#### Hailo Support
If you have a Hailo device, you will need to specify the hardware you have when submitting a model request because they are not cross compatible. Please test using the available base models before submitting your model request.
#### Rockchip (RKNN) Support
For 0.16, YOLOv9 onnx models will need to be manually converted. First, you will need to configure Frigate to use the model id for your YOLOv9 onnx model so it downloads the model to your `model_cache` directory. From there, you can follow the [documentation](/configuration/object_detectors.md#converting-your-own-onnx-model-to-rknn-format) to convert it. Automatic conversion is coming in 0.17.

- **Other**: `package`, `waste_bin`, `bbq_grill`, `robot_lawnmower`, `umbrella`
Other object types available in the default Frigate model are not available. Additional object types will be added in future releases.
### Candidate labels
Candidate labels are also available for annotation. These labels don't have enough data to be included in the model yet, but using them will help add support sooner. You can enable these labels by editing the camera settings.
Where possible, these labels are mapped to existing labels during training. For example, any `baby` labels are mapped to `person` until support for new labels is added.
The candidate labels are: `baby`, `bpost`, `badger`, `possum`, `rodent`, `chicken`, `groundhog`, `boar`, `hedgehog`, `tractor`, `golf cart`, `garbage truck`, `bus`, `sports ball`
Candidate labels are not available for automatic suggestions.
### Label attributes
Frigate has special handling for some labels when using Frigate+ models. `face`, `license_plate`, and delivery logos such as `amazon`, `ups`, and `fedex` are considered attribute labels which are not tracked like regular objects and do not generate review items directly. In addition, the `threshold` filter will have no effect on these labels. You should adjust the `min_score` and other filter values as needed.

1. [Disable the AI recognition features in QuMagie](https://docs.qnap.com/application/qumagie/2.x/en-us/configuring-qnap-ai-core-settings-FB13CE03.html),
2. Remove the QNAP AI Core extension or
3. Manually start the QNAP AI Core extension after Frigate has fully started (not recommended).
It is also recommended to restart the NAS once the changes have been made.

- In most cases [the Coral docs](https://coral.ai/docs/m2/get-started/#2-install-the-pcie-driver-and-edge-tpu-runtime) show how to install the driver for the PCIe based Coral.
- For some newer Linux distros (for example, Ubuntu 22.04+), https://github.com/jnicolson/gasket-builder can be used to build and install the latest version of the driver.

## OpenVINO
### Can't get OPTIMIZATION_CAPABILITIES property as no supported devices found.
Some users have reported issues using some Intel iGPUs with OpenVINO, where the GPU would not be detected. This error can be caused by various problems, so it is important to ensure the configuration is setup correctly. Some solutions users have noted:
- In some cases users have noted that an HDMI dummy plug was necessary to be plugged into the motherboard's HDMI port.
- When mixing an Intel iGPU with Nvidia GPU, the devices can be mixed up between `/dev/dri/renderD128` and `/dev/dri/renderD129` so it is important to confirm the correct device, or map the entire `/dev/dri` directory into the Frigate container.
