Frigate is an open-source, self-hosted NVR with real-time AI object detection for IP cameras.

It runs entirely locally, integrates with Home Assistant, and lets you monitor and detect events without relying on cloud services.

It’s a solid alternative to cloud-based camera systems, with full control over your data and recordings.
