perf(util): use monotonic clock and bounded deque in EventsPerSecond (#23520)
* perf(util): use monotonic clock and bounded deque in EventsPerSecond

EventsPerSecond is updated on every captured frame, every detection and
every processed frame across all cameras and detectors. The previous
implementation derived timestamps from datetime.now().timestamp() (wall
clock), so an NTP or manual clock adjustment could skew the rolling-window
expiry; it also stored timestamps in a list and expired them with
del self._timestamps[0] (O(n) per removal) plus a periodic slice-copy to
cap growth.

Switch to time.monotonic() for the interval math (correct by construction
and immune to wall-clock jumps) and a collections.deque(maxlen=...) so
expiry is O(1) (popleft) and retention is bounded automatically. This
mirrors the deque-based expiry already used in video/ffmpeg.py and
watchdog.py. Observable output is unchanged.

Adds frigate/test/test_builtin.py covering rate calculation, window
expiry and the memory bound.

* test: drop test_timestamps_are_memory_bounded

It only asserted that deque(maxlen=) caps length, which is stdlib behavior
rather than something this change needs to verify.

Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

License: MIT

Translation status

[English] | 简体中文

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported object detectors.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
