Frigate+

info

Frigate+ is under active development. Models are available as a part of an invitation only beta. It is free to create an account and upload/annotate your examples.

Frigate+ offers models trained from scratch and specifically designed for the way Frigate NVR analyzes video footage. They offer higher accuracy with less resources and include a more relevant set of objects for security cameras. By uploading your own labeled examples, your model can be uniquely tuned for accuracy in your specific conditions. After tuning, performance is evaluated against a broad dataset and real world examples submitted by other Frigate+ users to prevent overfitting.

Setup​

Create an account​

Free accounts can be created at https://plus.frigate.video.

Generate an API key​

Once logged in, you can generate an API key for Frigate in Settings.

API key

Set your API key​

In Frigate, you can set the PLUS_API_KEY environment variable to enable the SEND TO FRIGATE+ buttons on the events page. You can set it in your Docker Compose file or in your Docker run command. Home Assistant Addon users can set it under Settings > Addons > Frigate NVR > Configuration > Options (be sure to toggle the "Show unused optional configuration options" switch).

caution

You cannot use the environment_vars section of your configuration file to set this environment variable.

Submit examples​

Once your API key is configured, you can submit examples directly from the events page in Frigate using the SEND TO FRIGATE+ button.

note

Snapshots must be enabled to be able to submit examples to Frigate+

Send To Plus

Annotate and verify​

You can view all of your submitted images at https://plus.frigate.video. Annotations can be added by clicking an image.

Use Models​

Models available in Frigate+ can be used with a special model path. No other information needs to be configured for Frigate+ models because it fetches the remaining config from Frigate+ automatically.

model:
  path: plus://e63b7345cc83a84ed79dedfc99c16616

Models are downloaded into the /config/model_cache folder and only downloaded if needed.

You can override the labelmap for Frigate+ models like this:

model:
  path: plus://e63b7345cc83a84ed79dedfc99c16616
  labelmap:
    3: animal
    4: animal
    5: animal
