Josh Hawkins 40c27fb04f only export allowlisted environment_vars
apply_config_env_vars wrote every unprefixed environment_vars key into os.environ and exported every FRIGATE_ key, so a config could set LD_PRELOAD or LIGHTER_ANE_EP to load a library into Frigate or its children, or set FRIGATE_RUN_AS_ROOT to turn off the ffmpeg.path writable-tree guard. Only the documented names are now exported, each with a value check, and a name the container already sets is never overwritten. FRIGATE_ keys still feed substitution, but only FRIGATE_JWT_SECRET is exported. Anything else logs a warning naming the key.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status

[English] | 简体中文

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
