Miscellaneous fixes (#22780)
* fix mobile export crash by removing stale iOS non-modal drawer workaround

* Remove titlecase to avoid Gemma4 handling plain labels as proper nouns

* Improve titling:

* Make directions more clear

* Properly capitalize delivery services

* update dispatcher config reference on save

* subscribe to review topic so ReviewDescriptionProcessor knows genai is enabled

* auto-send ON genai review WS message when enabled_in_config transitions to true

* remove unused object level

* update docs to clarify pre/post capture settings

* add ui docs links

* improve known_plates field in settings UI

* only show save all when multiple sections are changed

or if the section being changed is not currently being viewed

* fix docs

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
