Major Changes for 0.14.0

Breaking Changes

There are several breaking changes in this release, Frigate will attempt to update the configuration automatically. In some cases manual changes may be required. It is always recommended to backup your current config and database before upgrading:

  • Simply copy your current config file to a new location
  • Stop Frigate and make a copy of the frigate.db file

Your existing events will not be visible in Frigate's new UI

  • An entirely new way of reviewing camera footage has been implemented in Frigate 0.14, and existing events could not be migrated
  • Recordings can still be viewed in the new UI using the recordings viewer (From Live view, click/tap on a camera and select the History button at the top left)
  • You may want to export any starred/favorite events before upgrading
  • If you are using the Home Assistant integration, events can still be viewed there
  • Recording (enabled: True for record in your config) is required to see review items and motion data in the UI

Zone/mask coordinates are now stored in the config as relative values

  • Frigate's configuration migrator will read your existing mask/zone coordinates and convert them for relative use internally on startup
  • Using the built-in mask/zone editor will make your config file incompatible with prior versions of Frigate
  • If you have mask/zone coordinate values that exceed the detect resolution, it will be ignored and you will see warnings in the log. Delete the mask or zone from your config and then use the editor in the UI to recreate it.

The UI's live mode is now intelligently selected

  • The live_mode config option is now deprecated and should be removed.

Backwards incompatible database changes

  • There are a number of changes made to Frigate's database, which are not backwards compatible. A backup of the database is automatically made on startup, but a manual backup is highly recommended.

Other breaking changes

  • RTMP was deprecated in 0.13 and has been fully removed in 0.14. You will need to remove any rtmp references in your config file.
  • OpenVINO has been upgraded, and Intel Neural Compute sticks are no longer supported. Support for YOLO-NAS models has been added. Additionally, AUTO mode now maps to GPU internally to avoid some unresolved issues with AUTO. The existing YOLO-X model will not work in this version.

Brand New UI

Frigate 0.14's UI has been completely rewritten (guided demo, helpful walkthrough video from a user) and optimized for desktop and mobile devices, aiming to simplify the user experience by focusing on two specific goals:

  1. Allow you to quickly see what's currently happening or what just happened on your cameras. The new Live view features a real-time dashboard with live camera feeds and a filmstrip of animated thumbnails showing recent activity.
  2. Make reviewing video footage more efficient. Frigate intelligently identifies parts of your timeline for review by leveraging the underlying data about motion and tracked objects. The new Review area implements a scrollable grid of thumbnails alongside a timeline where a hover or swipe begins a preview playback. Review items can be configured to be pre-categorized into alerts or detections based on cameras and/or zones. The review area also provides a motion review mode, allowing real-time scrubbing of video footage for any objects of interest that Frigate may have missed.

Frigate 0.14's UI will likely change the way you review your camera footage. It's a big change, but we love it and hope you do too. See the announcement post for more information regarding the motivation, ideas, and design decisions behind the new UI.

Dashboard

The new home page for Frigate is intended to be a real-time dashboard for your cameras. Recent alerts are represented by animated thumbnails in a filmstrip view above your camera feeds. Your camera images update once per minute when no detectable activity is occurring to conserve bandwidth and resources. As soon as any motion is detected, cameras seamlessly switch to a full-resolution live stream.

  • Custom camera groups are now supported. Add any of your cameras (including the Birdseye camera) to user-definable groups and easily toggle between them.
  • On desktops and tablets, cameras in a camera group can be resized and rearranged via dragging.

Live View

Clicking a camera from the dashboard will bring up a full-resolution live view where you can quickly access historical footage, use PTZ controls, toggle camera audio, use two-way talk, and more. Zooming with pinch or a scroll wheel is also supported.

Screen Shot 2024-05-18 at 18 02 30 PM

Review

The Review area of Frigate 0.14 is for quickly reviewing historical footage of interest from your cameras. Review items are indicated on a vertical timeline and displayed as a grid of previews - bandwidth-optimized, low frame rate, low resolution videos. Hovering over or swiping a preview plays the video and marks it as reviewed. If more in-depth analysis is required, the preview can be clicked/tapped and the full frame rate, full resolution recording is displayed. Review items are filterable by date, object type, and camera.

Screen Shot 2024-05-18 at 18 01 12 PM

Alerts and Detections

Not every segment of video captured by Frigate may be of the same level of interest to you. Video of people who enter your property are a different priority than those walking by on the sidewalk. For this reason, Frigate 0.14 categorizes review items as alerts or detections. By default, all person and car objects are considered alerts. You can refine categorization of your review items by configuring required zones for them.

See the review docs for more information

Motion review

In Frigate 0.13, there isn’t a way to see motion activity on a timeline and watch video at that time. The ability to scrub video for things Frigate missed has been one of the most common feature requests. Within the Motion tab of the Review section, you can now scrub through the timeline for all cameras simultaneously with a timeline showing relative motion activity. In order to avoid scrubbing over time periods already included in alerts and detections, you can also scrub in motion only mode.

image

History

In Frigate 0.14, full frame rate, full resolution camera footage (called "recordings" in earlier versions) can be viewed and scrubbed via a timeline. Previews of your other cameras are displayed and scrubbed alongside the main selected camera.

  • Exporting footage from the History view has been drastically improved. Choose predefined time periods, enter a time directly, or drag handles on the timeline to select an export range.
  • Past exports can be viewed, renamed, deleted, and downloaded from the dedicated Export pane, accessible from the navigation bar.

Other Notable UI Changes

  • System stats - New charts and graphs with colored segments to track system usage history and more quickly identify problems or issues.
  • Status bar - A new status bar gives at-a-glance CPU/GPU usage as well as any problems or issues with Frigate.
  • New log viewer - The log viewer now provides a pane with links to solutions for common issues.
  • Real-time motion tuning - Tune motion detection settings for your cameras without editing your config file and restarting.
  • New mask and zone editor - Edit your masks and zones with a much-improved editor.

Authentication

Frigate now supports authentication. Frigate manages users and authentication using JWT tokens via a cookie or authorization header. Additionally, a new proxy section in the config allows you to use the user header passed from common authentication proxies such as authelia, authentik, oauth2_proxy, etc.

  • Authentication is enforced on a new port 8971, and port 5000 is still unauthenticated for backwards compatibility. If you want to use Frigate's authentication, update your reverse proxy to point at port 8971 instead of 5000.
  • Support for role based authorization (admin/user roles) will come in a future release and will support upstream authentication proxies.
  • The Home Assistant integration needs to be pointed at port 5000. Some recommended configuration examples are in the updated docs.

See the documentation for more information.

TLS

Since Authentication should really be used over secure connections, TLS is also enabled by default for port 8971. It can be disabled in the config file with the following yaml:

tls:
  enabled: False

Custom certificates can also be used following the tls docs.

  • There are a number of changes made to Frigate's database, which are not backwards compatible. A backup of the database is automatically made on startup, but a manual backup is highly recommended.

Other breaking changes

  • RTMP was deprecated in 0.13 and has been fully removed in 0.14. You will need to remove any rtmp references in your config file.
  • OpenVINO has been upgraded, and Intel Neural Compute sticks are no longer supported. Support for YOLO-NAS models has been added. Additionally, AUTO mode now maps to GPU internally to avoid some unresolved issues with AUTO.

Brand New UI

Frigate 0.14's UI has been completely rewritten (guided demo) and optimized for desktop and mobile devices, aiming to simplify the user experience by focusing on two specific goals:

  1. Allow you to quickly see what's currently happening or what just happened on your cameras. The new Live view features a real-time dashboard with live camera feeds and a filmstrip of animated thumbnails showing recent activity.
  2. Make reviewing video footage more efficient. Frigate intelligently identifies parts of your timeline for review by leveraging the underlying data about motion and tracked objects. The new Review area implements a scrollable grid of thumbnails alongside a timeline where a hover or swipe begins a preview playback. Review items can be configured to be pre-categorized into alerts or detections based on cameras and/or zones. The review area also provides a motion review mode, allowing real-time scrubbing of video footage for any objects of interest that Frigate may have missed.

Frigate 0.14's UI will likely change the way you review your camera footage. It's a big change, but we love it and hope you do too. See the announcement post for more information regarding the motivation, ideas, and design decisions behind the new UI.

Dashboard

The new home page for Frigate is intended to be a real-time dashboard for your cameras. Recent alerts are represented by animated thumbnails in a filmstrip view above your camera feeds. Your camera images update once per minute when no detectable activity is occurring to conserve bandwidth and resources. As soon as any motion is detected, cameras seamlessly switch to a full-resolution live stream.

  • Custom camera groups are now supported. Add any of your cameras (including the Birdseye camera) to user-definable groups and easily toggle between them.
  • On desktops and tablets, cameras in a camera group can be resized and rearranged via dragging.

Live View

Clicking a camera from the dashboard will bring up a full-resolution live view where you can quickly access historical footage, use PTZ controls, toggle camera audio, use two-way talk, and more. Zooming with pinch or a scroll wheel is also supported.

Screen Shot 2024-05-18 at 18 02 30 PM

Review

The Review area of Frigate 0.14 is for quickly reviewing historical footage of interest from your cameras. Review items are indicated on a vertical timeline and displayed as a grid of previews - bandwidth-optimized, low frame rate, low resolution videos. Hovering over or swiping a preview plays the video and marks it as reviewed. If more in-depth analysis is required, the preview can be clicked/tapped and the full frame rate, full resolution recording is displayed. Review items are filterable by date, object type, and camera.

Screen Shot 2024-05-18 at 18 01 12 PM

Alerts and Detections

Not every segment of video captured by Frigate may be of the same level of interest to you. Video of people who enter your property are a different priority than those walking by on the sidewalk. For this reason, Frigate 0.14 categorizes review items as alerts or detections. By default, all person and car objects are considered alerts. You can refine categorization of your review items by configuring required zones for them.

See the review docs for more information

Motion review

In Frigate 0.13, there isn’t a way to see motion activity on a timeline and watch video at that time. The ability to scrub video for things Frigate missed has been one of the most common feature requests. Within the Motion tab of the Review section, you can now scrub through the timeline for all cameras simultaneously with a timeline showing relative motion activity. In order to avoid scrubbing over time periods already included in alerts and detections, you can also scrub in motion only mode.

image

History

In Frigate 0.14, full frame rate, full resolution camera footage (called "recordings" in earlier versions) can be viewed and scrubbed via a timeline. Previews of your other cameras are displayed and scrubbed alongside the main selected camera.

  • Exporting footage from the History view has been drastically improved. Choose predefined time periods, enter a time directly, or drag handles on the timeline to select an export range.
  • Past exports can be viewed, renamed, deleted, and downloaded from the dedicated Export pane, accessible from the navigation bar.

Other Notable UI Changes

  • System stats - New charts and graphs with colored segments to track system usage history and more quickly identify problems or issues.
  • Status bar - A new status bar gives at-a-glance CPU/GPU usage as well as any problems or issues with Frigate.
  • New log viewer - The log viewer now provides a pane with links to solutions for common issues.
  • Real-time motion tuning - Tune motion detection settings for your cameras without editing your config file and restarting.
  • New mask and zone editor - Edit your masks and zones with a much-improved editor.

Authentication

Frigate now supports authentication. Frigate manages users and authentication using JWT tokens via a cookie or authorization header. Additionally, a new proxy section in the config allows you to use the user header passed from common authentication proxies such as authelia, authentik, oauth2_proxy, etc.

  • Authentication is enforced on a new port 8971, and port 5000 is still unauthenticated for backwards compatibility. If you want to use Frigate's authentication, update your reverse proxy to point at port 8971 instead of 5000.
  • Support for role based authorization (admin/user roles) will come in a future release and will support upstream authentication proxies.
  • The Home Assistant integration needs to be pointed at port 5000. Some recommended configuration examples are in the updated docs.

Changes since beta 2

  • Added ability to filter review items by zone

  • Improvements to dragging and resizing cameras in camera groups. If you are unable to drag or resize cameras after this update, you will need to clear all of your layouts from Settings --> General.

  • Port 8080 now uses TLS by default since authentication doesn't do much good without TLS. You will now be presented with a warning about use of a self signed certificate in your browser.

  • Made some significant changes to the TLS implementation

    • Removed 443/80 from nginx config
    • Implemented TLS on 8080 since it doesn't make much sense to have auth without TLS and that's the authenticated port
    • Added a config block for enabling/disabling TLS
    • Added tempio to render the nginx listen based on the config
    • Only check to see if the nginx config needs to be reloaded when tls is enabled
    • Suppressed output from openssl commands in the logs
  • If you are pointing a reverse proxy at 8080, you will either need to disable cert validation in your proxy or disable tls in the Frigate config

  • Made some significant changes to authentication

    • The mode option was removed entirely. Please reference the updated docs on authentication and adjust.
    • The proxy settings aren't really about authentication, so it doesn't make sense to be an auth mode. Related settings have moved to a separate proxy config section.
    • Adds the ability to configure a shared secret to validate that the request came from a known proxy
  • OpenVINO has been updated to 2024.1 and support for YOLO-NAS models has been added. There are known issues with AUTO mode, so it has been mapped internally to GPU. You may need to set CPU if you don't have an integrated GPU.

  • Fix shutdown/restart hangs

  • Improvements to automatic switching of camera live mode

  • Fix bug where ffmpeg was unable to save previews every hour

  • Many small UI bugfixes

Major Changes for 0.14.0

Breaking Changes

There are several breaking changes in this release, so a backup of your current config and database is recommended before upgrading:

  • Simply copy your current config file to a new location
  • Stop Frigate and make a copy of the frigate.db file

Your existing events will not be visible in Frigate's new UI

  • An entirely new way of reviewing camera footage has been implemented in Frigate 0.14, and existing events could not be migrated
  • Recordings can still be viewed in the new UI using the recordings viewer (From Live view, click/tap on a camera and select the History button at the top left)
  • You may want to export any starred/favorite events before upgrading
  • If you are using the Home Assistant integration, events can still be viewed there

Zone/mask coordinates are now stored in the config as relative values

  • Frigate's configuration migrator will read your existing mask/zone coordinates and convert them for relative use internally on startup
  • After these changes, your config file will be incompatible with the prior version
  • If you have mask/zone coordinate values that exceed the detect resolution, it will be ignored and you will see warnings in the log. Delete the mask or zone from your config and then use the editor in the UI to recreate it.

The UI's live mode is now intelligently selected

  • The live_mode config option is now deprecated and should be removed.

Backwards incompatible database changes

  • There are a number of changes made to Frigate's database, which are not backwards compatible. A backup of the database is automatically made on startup, but a manual backup is highly recommended.

  • Loitering Time - Zones now support a loitering_time configuration which can be used to only consider an object as part of a zone if they loiter for the specified number of seconds. This can be used, for example, to create alerts for cars that stop on the street but not cars that just drive past your camera.
  • Two-way talk - For supported cameras, two-way talk can be used directly from a camera's live view.
  • PWA-optimized - The UI has been optimized to work as a progressive web app. Pin Frigate to your iOS home screen or install on Android for a full app-like experience.
  • Rockchip boards now support object detection - See [the Rockchip documentation](https://deploy-preview-11419--frigate-docs.netlify.app/configuration/object_detectors/#rockc...
