    Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS

    I originally mentioned I found (suggested by ChatGPT) a port of Frigate to macOS called "Fregata" in this thread yesterday. Since that thread was about a specific camera, I wanted to move the conversation here to limit off-topic conversation in that thread. I'm a former Blue iris user that...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I just use the browser, both on desktop and mobile. I'd assume any app that is a "viewer" for frigate would work though since the API is the same, not sure if there are any good ones. Scrubbing works great for me, the only complaint I have (always) had with Frigate is that the quality goes way...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I'm still running the free trial, but I'm loving it so far and will definitely be a buyer. Might be a bit of a learning curve if you haven't used frigate before, but if you have, it's basically identical.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    It uses all the fancy apple silicon hardware acceleration that frigate can't access due to docker. GPU for video and stuff and the Apple AI accelerator chip to make object detection take like 1 or 2 ms. The performance is insane compared to frigate in docker, but still has all the frigate...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I moved from Blue Iris (since 2012) to Frigate in Docker about 2 years ago. Then I just a couple of days ago moved to "Fregata". It was recommended by ChatGPT when I was trying to debug some performance issues on Frigate in docker. It's a macOS native port of Frigate. Check it out if you're a...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Thanks for all the info @bp2008! I'm going to see if removing my cloned cameras makes any difference to see if that makes any difference with the resolution set in the alert object. I originally set up this convoluted clone set up to work around another bug in BI, but that was years ago, and I...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I just did a test, stats for nerds shows 848x480 (Native: 848x480) Once the recording has stopped, after clicking the "Clips" tab, and then clicking the alert again so that it starts over, it shows 2688x1520 (Native: 2688x1520). I tried multiple times and it did not switch to 2688x1520, in...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @bp2008 I have an odd issue that has cropped up in recent versions of BI that I'm hoping you can help with. This seems to only happen on BI versions 5.8+. I was running 5.7 for a while to get around this problem, but needed to upgrade BI to take advantage of other new features and bug fixes. I...

    RCA / LaView (Hikvision) Floodlight Camera HSFLC1 / LV-PWFL182-U

    Can Blue Iris detect the PIR motion sensor on the camera to trigger recording instead of relying on analyzing the video stream? (to prevent falses from shadows, trees, etc) All of the images show this mounted flat against a wall. Could it be mounted to a "ceiling" under an eave and the...
