Frigate is Open Source CCTV People Sensor, MQTT Integration with HomeAssistant

Frigate is an Open Source CCTV People Sensor

Blake Blackshear’s project on GitHub uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection on RTSP cameras with the Google Coral.

It’s also designed for integration with HomeAssistant or others via MQTT.

Leverages multiprocessing and threads heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
Allows you to define specific regions (squares) in the image to look for objects
No motion detection (for now)
Object detection with Tensorflow runs in a separate thread
Object info is published over MQTT for integration into HomeAssistant as a binary sensor
An endpoint is available to view an MJPEG stream for debugging
