Memory audit: all hot-path structures are bounded (frame queue maxsize 64, latest result is a single 20x6 buffer, rows capped at MAX_ROWS), so there is no unbounded growth in steady state. One resource hazard: run() used a blocking queue.put() with no guard. If the pump thread dies (SDK stream exception, e.g. DEVICE_LOST), the SDK side stops draining the queue, the bounded queue fills, and every subsequent run() blocks forever on put, permanently wedging the detector (Frigate does not restart the detector process on its own). Fix: check thread liveness before put and raise immediately, and use put_nowait (backpressure: drop the frame on a full queue) so run() always falls through to the latest-result wait / timeout instead of blocking.
Frigate NVR™ - Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras
[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
