@@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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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!? Thanks
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!
Watching some of your other videos on NVR, which do you prefer...frigate or blue iris with deepstack and the AI helper. Sticking to docker as much as possible. I understand BI will need to run on a windows PC or VM
I can't seem to figure out how to save the recording to an External HDD. I've plugged in the HDD to my NUC running Home Assistant, but how do I tell Frigate to save the recording on the HDD instead of the NUC HDD?
Hello there!!! great tutorial !!! Can you please tell me why i couldn't install the docker container.... it always sent a message in the logs that killing the signal and exit
Please help, I am struggling with getting frigate to work in docker. I have been trying for weeks. If it’s possible can you do a one to one with me and I will pay for your time to get this installed and working please
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!
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.
I have some reolink cameras, I believe you can reduce the resolution and it will output h264. Haven't started working on frigate yet for my system yet, so I can't say it defo will work.
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?
Thx for the great tutorials keep it coming!! Since you are also using unifi camera's i cannot get it to work the image always stays green and its throwing me errors on frigate.video ERROR : ffmpeg process is not running. exiting capture thread... Any help?
This happened to me too with a recent update of the Unifi firmware. I had to add the -an switch to the ffmpeg section of my Frigate config file to fix this. This disables the audio stream from the camera and fixed it for me. You can find my full config file on my blog post about Frigate: www.homeautomationguy.io/home-assistant-tips/tweaking-frigate-to-get-the-best-results/
@@HomeAutomationGuy same here, thanks for the tip about input_arg: -an, that allowed the video to be displayed, shame the audio is disabled. In standalone mode they work fine without needing to disable audio.
I'm running a bare minimum system, old dual core AMD/64 WITH 2 GIGS OF RAM. Docker-compose setup. Trying to decide on a light camera solution. I already have 6 cameras two 720p and 4 Sd...

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.
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
@@gnospankerthe i5 would handle Frigate, HA and many other things perfectly. Either run HA OS on it, or look at my Docker or Proxmox videos for other ways you can get the most out of that hardware! All the best with it!

@@HomeAutomationGuy Things must have change then ?, because when I tried it with my x265 camera it would only play back on my ipad and would not play back on ANY browser on Windows or Linux . AND would crash my computer after a few days with a kernel panic due to hardware encoding and completely lock up. So my x265 camera is not on frigate, but pointing at my car in the drive, and set with a alarm on person detection mode at night , It will not record , but having a siren going off if a person goes down the drive at night , that should give them a nice little scare.
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. I saw that a lot of people are having issues with rtsp since a recent Unifi update. Unfortunately there are dozens of different ways they've tried to work around it, but nothing seems useful to me. Did you need to configure anything to get the rtsp feed to work?
OK, I found the problem. I missed the part of the workaround where you change the default rtsps feed port #. Default feed from Unifi Protect: rtsps://192.168.x.x:7441/?enableSrtp Fixed stream in Frigate config: rtsp://192.168.x.x:7447/ I missed the part about changing the port from 7441 to 7447. I've been banging my head against the wall for 4-5 days. Ugh. Otherwise, is there anything we are missing by NOT using the secure rtsps stream? As long as I have my cameras on a separate vlan that don't access the internet, does the extra security matter? If so, is there a know way to keep the rtsps version of the stream in Frigate?
Mine worked fine using the default RTSPS stream and port, so I'm not sure. RTSP will be fine for most home network setups, all the data is staying locally so it's probably ok not to use an encrypted stream
I am curious as to what is the advantage over Protect and how did you get your Unifi cameras to run without it. Protect comes with my Dream machine ,integrates directly with HA and does pretty much the same ,except maybe true live stream in HA ,there is a delay both in the glance card or when streaming.
I find the object detection capabilities in Frigate to be much more customisable, and therefore accurate. The protect has sent me a lot of false positives and therefore a lot of unnecesary push notifications. To be honest, I don't think the delay in HA with Frigate is any better than it is with Protect natively.
@@HomeAutomationGuy It would be great if in future the developer will add some a sort of external input(like a command via mqtt) as detector. A motion sensor use less energy than a cpu or a coral. Ok it is less accurate and can spot false positives, but it is a way faster
@@rrpedrigal Yes. I used this for a few months without the AI accelerator on the same hardware. It did spike to 100% CPU and engage the CPU Fan each time it ran a detection though.
