NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras
aicameragoogle-coralhome-assistanthome-automationhomeautomationmqttnvrobject-detectionrealtimertsptensorflow
joserfc 1.x requires symmetric-algorithm keys to be `OctKey` instances
rather than raw strings. Since `requirements-wheels.txt` pins
`joserfc == 1.2.*`, every call to `create_encoded_jwt()` currently raises
`joserfc.errors.MissingKeyError` at `jwt.encode`, which nginx surfaces as
`500 Internal Server Error` on `POST /api/login`. The symmetric-verify
path in `is_logged_in_without_redirect` has the same problem on
`jwt.decode`.
Reproduction
docker exec <container> pip show joserfc # 1.2.2
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"user":"<valid-user>","password":"<valid-pw>"}' \
http://<frigate>:5000/api/login
# -> 500 Internal Server Error
# log shows: joserfc.errors.MissingKeyError: missing_key
Minimal repro inside the container:
python3 -c "
from joserfc import jwt
jwt.encode({'alg':'HS256'}, {'sub':'t','exp':0}, 'some-secret')
"
# ValueError: Invalid key
python3 -c "
from joserfc import jwt
from joserfc.jwk import OctKey
print(jwt.encode({'alg':'HS256'}, {'sub':'t','exp':0},
OctKey.import_key('some-secret'))[:40])
"
# eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...
The Home Assistant Frigate integration trips this path on every
configuration attempt because it always does `POST /api/login` with the
credentials supplied in the HA config flow, producing a confusing
"failed to connect" symptom rather than an auth error.
Fix
Wrap the secret with `OctKey.import_key(...)` at the two sites that call
into `joserfc.jwt`. The stored secret file format and everything else
stays the same; `get_jwt_secret()` continues to return a string.
AI disclosure
AI-assisted. I reviewed and tested the change end-to-end against a live
Frigate 0.17.1 container running joserfc 1.2.2: reproduced the 500 via
Home Assistant, identified the stack (auth.py line 366 in 0.17.1 / 404
on dev, and the decode call on 680), verified `OctKey.import_key(str)`
accepts the existing secret format, applied the patch in-container,
restarted, and confirmed `POST /api/login` now returns a clean
`401 {"message":"Login failed"}` for bad credentials and issues a valid
JWT cookie for good credentials. No new dependencies; `OctKey` is part
of `joserfc` which is already pinned.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras
English
A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant 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.
- Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
- Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
- Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
- Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
- Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
- Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
- Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
- 24/7 recording
- Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
- WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
