# Frigate
|
|
|
|
Open-source network video recorder (NVR) with object detection. Runs cloud-free with all video stored locally on [[sifaka]].

## Cameras
|
|
|
|
| Camera | IP | Location | Objects Tracked |
|
|
|--------|----|----------|-----------------|
|
|
| GableCam | `192.168.1.159` | Front gable | person, car, dog, cat, bird |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
| Detection clips | 14 days | motion |
|
|
| Snapshots | 14 days | — |

|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
| Mount | Backend | Size |
|
|
|-------|---------|------|
|
|
| `/media/frigate` | NFS PV on [[sifaka]] (`/volume1/frigate`) | 2 Ti |
|
|
| `/db` | Local PVC (`frigate-database`) | SQLite |
|
|
| `/dev/shm` | Memory-backed `emptyDir` | 256 Mi |
|
|
|
|
## 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.
