NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras

Adds a new recap feature that composites detected people from throughout
the day onto a clean background, producing a short summary video of all
activity for a given camera.
How it works:
- Builds a clean background plate via median of sampled frames
- Extracts clip frames for each person event from recordings
- Uses per-event background subtraction (first frame of clip as reference)
within a soft spotlight region to isolate the person
- Groups non-overlapping events to play simultaneously
- Balances groups by duration so the video stays even
- Renders at 2x speed, stitches groups into final output
New files:
- frigate/recap/ — core generation module
- frigate/api/recap.py — POST /recap/{camera}, GET /recap/{camera}
- frigate/config/recap.py — recap config section (enabled, fps, etc)
- frigate/test/test_recap.py — unit tests
- web/src/components/overlay/RecapDialog.tsx — UI component (not yet wired)
Config example:
recap:
enabled: true
default_label: person
output_fps: 10
video_duration: 30
background_samples: 30

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras
EnglishA 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
