Its also worth noting that on the add-on page if you dont see frigate listed you need to clear your browser cache or open a new connection in a private browser tab so that it will populate. This goes for any newly installed add-ons, try this first before deeper troubleshooting. Saved me some serious headaches lol.
@@HomeAutomationGuy I already have a wired CCTV setup with NVR. I am planning to upgrade with newer cameras. I was wondering if I can use my current NVR as it is for 24/7 recordings, separate from Home Assistant and still link the cameras with Frigate on HA to do all the AI things and automations? Appreciate your reply
@@HomeAutomationGuy Thank you so much for your quick reply! Your videos are awesome! Just started off with HA 2 weeks ago after ditching ST. Huge learning curve :)
Frigate is obviously a great product because so many of the HA youtubers I follow praise it, but I just cannot get past the hassle of installing. 2 hours of tearing my hair out and googling vague error messages or troubleshooting white space so far to get to a point that a single web page config editor should have been able to do for me within 5 minutes of loading the docker image. I'm using Agent DVR at the moment, which has HA integration and actually has a nice if cluttered GUI install, but I wanted to see what Frigate has in addition to offer. The answer seems to be nothing unless you have hours to spend and enjoy typing in vi - and that's not me any more I'm afraid.
You are damn good to get us non experienced users to get the grip! I love your videos! Can you please make a video on how to use external storage on Frigate in docker. I have been googling alot on how to make my docker compose file written to be able to connect to a nfs share on my synology nas. Please.
Unifi are a good camera, but I have found them to be expensive for what they are also and the RTSP stream is not always reliable from Unifi Protect, depending on what they do in the next firmware update. If you have Unifi Protect cameras, I would just recommend by a Cloudkey Gen 2+ and use the Protect software. If you have a Google Coral TPU, that will dramatically reduce the CPU Usage on your NVR, though they are still close to impossible to buy. Frigate is the most accurate I have used, better than Deepstack with Blue Iris and better than any onboard camera AI I ahve tested. Mine does get a false positive, but I corrected with masking as it is a shadow from a tree that gets picked up as "human" due to it's shape. Other than that, so far no false positives and also so far less missed events than other solutions.
h265 works fine with frigate for recording, the issue playing back files. since only apple devices support native h265 playback. most browsers do not. windows and android do not.
Yeh, it's really annoying. I ran mine with a CPU detector for 6 months and it worked pretty decently. I did notice the cooling fan spin up whenever an object detection process was running though!
The creating a config file shapter is changed. On the site it says now configuring go2rtc. The configuring MQTT server explain is gone. How to slove this with Home Assist addon?
Thanks for doing this. I had a really hard time setting this up before, but after following this I was finally able to get it up and running. Do you happen to know how to get audio to the cameras ? I checked on the Frigate page and I tried adding in the code, but it didn't work. I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
great video - thanks... got it up and running... but want to change the location of where records are stored... I added this to the config: record: enabled: True path: /media/CCTV/ but it won't start up saying, cameras -> mycam -> record -> path extra fields not permitted (type=value_error.extra) Any ideas!?

Currently considering running Frigate connected to HA. My home network is a Mesh Wifi with wireless backhaul to primary router. Do you see any issue with simply adding a mesh node with LAN ports nearby where I want my cameras to be, and running the cameras via the LAN ports there with POE injectors (or POE switch connected to the LAN port of a mesh node)? Or is a wireless camera possible and stable with Frigate?
@HomeAutomationGuy Thanks. Certainly wireless is easier and cheaper for me: they'll be wired to power. But the idea of adding a mesh node just for a camera is a bit expensive 🤣 So maybe I'll try a wireless setup first and go from there. Any recommendation for a WiFi camera that runs well with Frigate? Seems a lot of the nice new ones are going with H.265 support which I guess won't play nicely with Frigate?
Nice video. I've just got Frigate (reasonably) stable on my rpi4, but it's making me want to upgrade to a faster PC since I can't get a coral anywhere.
Good video! Question though... I currently have HA running on a Pi4. If I want to use Frigate do I need to upgrade my HA hardware, or should I run Frigate on a separate computer and the Pi will still be ok?
Thanks, that's what I was thinking! Also, if I were to get a thin client PC (Dell Optiplex 7060 i5) would I still have better HA performance (than the Pi) if HA and Frigate were running on it? I'll probably eventually have 6 cameras.@@HomeAutomationGuy

I believe you can run it without the AI overhead. But it is designed to be used as an object detection system, so perhaps one of your other options would be better for your usecase if you only want recording.
Love the concept of the series, but I'm concerned that you didn't frontload your viewers realistic expectations of how CPU taxing frigate AI detection is if you don't have an edge TPU. I imagine this will be talked about in the next video but given that finding an edge TPU is practically impossible right now it makes the AI features of frigate basically useless without serious compute power. The frigate devs even say in the beginning of the documentation that CPU detect is not recommended and only meant for testing purposes.
That's a fair call out, I appreciate the comment. But honestly, I was running CPU detection on my Intel i5 NUC with two 720p cameras and one SD cam for months and it worked pretty well. I did notice the CPU cooling fan kicking in a lot, but that was the only down side. I managed to find a USB TPU for an extortionate price on eBay since then and I wouldn't say it's increased the response time or accuracy. It has definitely kept the cooling fan off though!

Did you have to change any settings on your Unifi Protect cameras to get the rtsp playback to work? I can't get them to stream in VLC, much less Frigate. I get no response. No error. Not anything.
