You mentioned that Frigate detection would need to work harder if you want to detect more types of objects. Each frame goes through a single algorithm that performs classification at the very end. Classification has minimal cost compared to the steps that preceded it. I don't think anyone should be discouraged from detecting as many object types as they want. The realistic additional overhead is minimal.
"Any corner of the bounding box around the object touches into the zone itself, then it considers the object to have entered that zone." Close, but only the bottom center point of the bounding box is used, effectively reducing bounding boxes to a single point. This can lead to some fairly funny looking zones to accomplish your desired behavior.
Your videos help a lot in the use of FRIGATE, I basically managed to learn most of the things you showed in the video and I find your content about FRIGATE + HOMEASSISTANT super interesting, there are few content creators who really talk easily and practically about this topic . Your videos demonstrate in practice how to solve problems, you won + 1 subscriber from Brazil, congratulations.
Thank you so much for this and you first video on frigate also. I was having a real frustrating time getting my config file sorted and watching your video where you frequently referred back to your config file were life saving. There is so much noise about Frigate online which is confusing for me and also for many others out there if you search for it....a lot of confusion....so again, thank you so much for your clear and easy to follow videos
OHH MY G O D ... BEST Frigate / Home Assistant videos !!! many good videos out their also , BUT your really good thank you so much Home Automation Guy I have been struggling with only frigate Reducing false positives and I'm new to Yaml or yml . Thanks to your video i now not only know what to do but actually have a better much better understanding , also extra knowledge on the frigate.yml configuration … Thank you from Down Under
Hi, nice video. Just checked my knowledge and setup of frigate using it ;) You are lucky to get the Coral, i'm looking for some M.2 version for months. Looking forward to the notification part. I guess i will learn something here and correct my setup.
Awesome video. Absolutely great pacing and levels of in depth explanation, your videos are very much changing real world business for the better. But i must mention, is the title supposed to be spelled "frigage"? Sorry to be that guy
Hi, is it possible to save clip and recording into external USB? I only found articles about containers using network storage but I'm currently using HAOS😅
thanks again! a question.. im moving to a house.. looking for cameras and the reolink looks great.. due the constrain of chips its dif to get a coral.. its really needed to have a good frigate system? reolink has a integrated people and pet detection
Great information. I'm just starting and trying to figure out if I use Protect (I have Unifi ecosystem with UDM Pro) or go the Frigate route. Problem with Unifi is that I will have to pay crazy prices for cameras if I want 4k ($449) or I can get 4 Amcrest cameras for the same price. But then I would need to build a good VM on my ESXi or take my HP Gen 7 and install Frigate on its base. Not sure the best option between Unifi and Frigate. For Frigate it looks like the TPUs are $400 right now if you get them on eBay - that is a lot if you need/want 1 per camera. Any thoughts on my dilemma?
I don't think you need 1 TPU per camera. Why not start with Frigate and a CPU detector on the hardware you already have, and one Amcrest camera to see how it works for you and use that to help make the decision? It's always best to try before you commit all that money!
Great video Alan, just a question of Rasp Pi4. If your video monitoring is inside your house (for when you are away) so monitoring for example entry zone where little or no movement can be detected in normal condition, do you think the Pi would be up to the job? I was going to base my home assistant on PI HW :)
I don't think it would perform very well on a Pi, but you might be able to get away with it if you have a Google Coral TPU. I would suggest trying it and seeing, if you already have the Pi hardware!
Does it allow for detection of a generic non-fixed object. I'd like the ability to detect moving objects that aren't fixed (e.g. trigger on an unknown object moving across the frame but not a tree blowing in the wind).
Great Video... i run Home Assistant (HASS OS) on proxmox and frigate inside HA. Can you create a video how to add a external USB drive to HA OS and how i can set it up that Frigate write the files (recordings) to the external drive ?.
Thanks for great video. Could you give me some suggestions as to why I am getting no events ? I see the live stream etc , I have roles : detect, rtmp and I have record enabled ? Can not understand why I am getting not events thanks
This looks really good. Everybody seems to be recommending Blue Iris - but at least this is open source. You use Unifi I think? Do you still use unifi protect in conjunction with frigate (I've heard people say the protect phone app is good) or do you just use frigate now?
I use the Unifi protect app when I want to view my cameras in real-time. The app is really good at scrubbing through historical footage too. I use Frigate when I want to see what objects were detected without having to go through all the footage.
That's a great idea - I would like that too now! Frigate are working on the ability to upload your own snapshots and classify them as your own type of object, so this should be possible in the future. I think it might be a Premium, paid for feature though. I'll keep my eye out for any solutions to this, and if I figure it out I'll make a video.
Thank you Alan for your great videos! I have trouble setting up my zones. More precisely, an event is still triggered when a car drives past on the street. But my parking Zone is not the street. Do you have a hint for me?
Nice video. my plan is to have camera around the house, But i dont know what i will need for hardware. now i am running on a NUC. But after i watch you other video about rack pc. i will need one:D But what hardware. Will ha i5 do? or is it better to go for a i7?
Hi, can you do a video on how to setup google coral M.2 Accelerator B+M key into Raspberry Pi4 running Home Assistant with Frigate? My Google Coral M.2 accelerator is coming in a few weeks time.
So the cameras only start recording and write the information on you hard disk when your conditions are met? Otherwise they are not saving anything on the hard disk, right?
I use Reolink and Amcrest, the Amcrest cameras I flash Dauhu firmware. Works very really well. I put my cameras on a network with no Internet access apart for NTP if I can't make it use my firewall NTP.
Is the TPU just another name for a GPU? I'd have assumed that it was and my i7 NUC in LA (and one ordered for London) definitely has a decentish GPU. Did you compare the performance of your TPU versus of the GPU on your NUC? Also wondering if the object detection of a Reolink camera could serve as the motion detector and then hand filtered motion events to Frigate's object detection. Just looking to take advantage of hardware I have. My NUC sits in an area which people sometimes sleep in so trying to keep fan noise to a minimum.
@@yankee-in-london That's said at 9:32. TPUs are ASICs (application specific integrated circuits) and as the name implies, they were made for the sole purpose of running AI code. It's like the VPU (video processing unit), while you can decode and encode videos with your cpu, even your smartphone's VPU will vastly outperform it. That's why you can watch the latest 4k atmos hdr movie with almost 0% cpu usage and a long battery life. On intel platform it's called Quicksync and that's what was mistakenly called "gpu" at 11:11.
11:17 “GPU won’t speed up detection” - I thought this was the purpose of the Nvidia TensorRT detector option? Has anyone tried that, I’d love to use my old 1050 Ti instead of paying $120 for a Coral, if it works decent enough
And who told you that recognition of more different objects means more work/load/time or whatever? It's not true! If you don't understand such basic things I very doubt you can set options optimally
Prices are finally starting to crack. There are several USB Corals listed currently on EBay below $200. I just bought one for $105. I think the manufacturer is getting ready to ship which would explain the change.
great website to reel u in yet half the time it doesnt work and requires home assistant to get anywhere with it. if u dont like really who the fuck is portforwarding in 2022? who is sitting on their ass 24/7 watching the events page for things that happen? oem nvr is the way to go. dont give into this gimmik, such a pain to get working right
