Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into dev
Resolve conflicts in the export pipeline where dev's job-queue refactor
met master's chapter-metadata and security work.

- Unify chapter support under ChaptersEnum (none / recording_segments /
  review_items); the realtime stream-copy export selects the per-segment
  or per-review-item builder by the camera's configured mode. Thread
  chapters through ExportRecordingsBody -> _build_export_job -> ExportJob
  -> RecordingExporter.
- Keep master's creation_time/comment export metadata and fix a
  video_path duplication the textual merge introduced in the preview
  command.
- Move the chapters request field to ExportRecordingsBody (the single
  export endpoint) where it is actually honored.

Restore security fixes the automatic merge would have reverted:
- frigate/util/services.py: restore the #23493 rename to the public
  is_go2rtc_arbitrary_exec_allowed so create_config.py's dynamic-source
  exec guard imports and runs (the merge otherwise left a broken import).
- Preserve the export image-path ".." traversal check inside
  _sanitize_existing_image, applied to single/custom/batch exports.

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
