## Summary - Bump Frigate image from `0.16.4-standard-arm64` to `0.17.0-rc2-standard-arm64` - Adapt `record` config to 0.17 schema: `retain.days`/`mode: all` → `continuous.days` - Update service docs and version tracker This is the first step toward the Apple Silicon ZMQ detector. The existing ONNX detector is kept so we can validate the upgrade independently. ## What is NOT changing - Detector config (still `type: onnx` with YOLO-NAS-s) - go2rtc streams, MQTT, cameras, zones, review rules - frigate-notify, storage PVs, Grafana dashboard ## Deployment and Testing - [ ] `argocd app set frigate --revision upgrade-frigate-0.17 && argocd app sync frigate` - [ ] Pod starts, `/api/version` returns `0.17.0-rc2` - [ ] No config errors in pod logs - [ ] Frigate web UI loads at `https://nvr.ops.eblu.me` - [ ] Live view works, detection running (`/api/stats` shows `detection_fps > 0`) - [ ] Recordings being created (`/api/recordings/summary`) - [ ] MQTT events flowing (check frigate-notify logs) - [ ] After merge: `argocd app set frigate --revision main && argocd app sync frigate` Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/205

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

## Architecture

## 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.
