Eric W 317d1acfe1 Fix motion activity endpoint returning invalid timestamps after pandas 3.0 upgrade
pandas 3.0 changed DatetimeIndex internal storage from datetime64[ns]
(nanoseconds) to datetime64[us] (microseconds). The motion activity
endpoint in review.py converted DatetimeIndex to epoch seconds using:

    df.index = df.index.astype(int) // (10**9)

This assumed nanosecond resolution, dividing by 10^9 to get seconds.
With microsecond resolution the division produces values ~1000x too
small (e.g. 1774785 instead of 1774785600), causing every entry to
have a start_time near zero. The frontend timeline could not match
these timestamps to the visible range, so motion indicator bars
disappeared entirely — despite the underlying recording data being
correct.

Replace the resolution-dependent integer division with pandas
Timedelta arithmetic:

    df.index = (df.index - _EPOCH) // _ONE_SECOND

This is resolution-independent (produces correct results on
datetime64[s], [ms], [us], and [ns]), ~148x faster than the
per-element .timestamp() alternative, produces native Python int
types that serialize cleanly to JSON, and is backwards-compatible
with older pandas versions.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status
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
