Camera credentials are stored in 1Password and synced via external-secrets to the frigate-camera Secret.

Detection

Object detection uses ONNX with a YOLO-NAS-s model running on CPU (ARM64). The model file lives on the NFS recordings volume at /media/frigate/models/yolo_nas_s.onnx.

A driveway_entrance zone is configured for alert filtering — only detections in this zone trigger review alerts.

Retention

Type Duration Mode
Continuous recording 3 days all
Alert clips 30 days active objects

Alerting (frigate-notify)

A separate frigate-notify pod (ghcr.io/0x2142/frigate-notify:v0.3.5) subscribes to Frigate's MQTT events via Mosquitto and pushes alerts to ntfy on the frigate-alerts topic. Alert messages include action buttons linking back to the Frigate review UI.
