- Every detector type, every option, every setting

### User-Friendly Interface
- 17+ tabbed sections for logical organization
- Schema-driven form generation (auto-adapts to new fields)
- Tooltips on every field with descriptions
- Real-time validation with helpful error messages
- Smart defaults pre-filled
- Example values in placeholders

### Sections Include
- Cameras (streams, detection, zones, recording, motion, PTZ)
- Detectors (Coral, OpenVINO, TensorRT, CPU, etc.)
- Objects (tracking, filters, masks)
- Recording (retention, storage, events)
- Snapshots (capture, retention)
- Motion Detection
- MQTT (broker, topics)
- Audio Detection & Transcription
- Face Recognition
- License Plate Recognition (LPR)
- Semantic Search
- Birdseye View
- Review System
- GenAI Integration
- Authentication & Roles
- UI Preferences
- Advanced (database, logging, telemetry, networking, proxy, TLS)

### Technical Implementation
- React Hook Form for performant form state
- Schema-driven architecture (single source of truth)
- TypeScript for type safety
- Radix UI components for accessibility
- Comprehensive validation
- YAML ↔ GUI mode toggle

### Files Added
- web/src/components/config/GuiConfigEditor.tsx - Main editor
- web/src/components/config/SchemaFormRenderer.tsx - Schema-to-UI engine
- web/src/components/config/fields/* - Field components (7 types)
- web/src/components/config/sections/* - Section components
- web/src/lib/configUtils.ts - YAML conversion & validation
- web/src/types/configSchema.ts - TypeScript types
- docs/docs/guides/config_gui.md - User documentation
- COMPLETE_CONFIG_SCHEMA.json - Full schema reference
- CONFIG_SCHEMA_SUMMARY.md - Schema documentation
- verify_gui_completeness.py - Coverage verification script

### Verification
Smoke test confirms 100% coverage:
-  35 top-level sections (ALL in schema)
-  26 explicit GUI tabs
-  27 camera fields with 20 sub-configs
-  All JSON Schema types supported
-  Every field accessible

Frigate - NVR With Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

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 such as a Google Coral or Hailo is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead.

  • 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
