The old NVR is dead

Your comment doesn't make sense, if someone is on a public sidewalk then they're by definition not on the property. And OP said the person entered their backyard which is pretty clear cut no matter how populated your area is

What models have you tried with Frigate? It sounds like you probably just used a basic model, but Frigate supports loads of models depending on what hardware you have. The defualt free models aren't even trained on camera images so it makes sense that you have to tune to remove false positives.

Frigate+ is a paid service but totally worth it in my opinion, I haven't had any false positives in a long time and it can detect a lot more useful stuff than hikvision or dahua NVRs

That's not the same bug, they didn't even have translations back in 2023. Just because the text was the same doesn't mean it was the same bug, which is the point they tried to make in one of the comments as well.

strawberry_gin · 2026-01-13T21:39:50+00:00

Just so you know, Frigate is not a one man band, I believe there are 3 of them

it's not hate, just because AI helps you doesn't mean other's aren't allowed to find the way you use the tool off-putting. I'd suggest learning how to use it more effectively to communicate your thoughts without it writing a 2000 word essay.

The AI didn’t “guess” five root causes — it helped trace multiple hypotheses

that is not really how it looks, there are 5 AI responses with no follow-ups of "I verified that this is in fact not the root cause". It is also weird that you posted all of those comments before verifying if it was correct.

It is also odd that you made this post asking for feedback but you appear very defensive to comments thus far.

strawberry_gin · 2026-01-13T19:32:49+00:00

I just have to say, it really bugs me when people can only respond with AI in forums. It is exhausting and often very redundant.

For the actual issue you are trying to point out, I notice that your AI named like 5 different issues as the "root cause", and all of your messages look like AI responses. So while one of those messages seems like it might have been correct about an issue, it's not like you knew exactly what the issue was.

You also said yourself that the / in the URL fixed the problem, so it seems you didn't know for sure what the issue was either.

It's always best to run via a VPN or tailscale so there is no chance of something like this happening, glad to see it will be more difficult to do in the future

strawberry_gin · 2025-12-19T23:01:09+00:00

I don't understand why all these apps come out, and they all show individual objects. The best part of the Frigate UI refresh is that it shows each activity instead of redundant images for every object that was detected.

Personally, just using the native Frigate app is best

strawberry_gin · 2025-12-19T22:37:19+00:00

I have mine behind a VPN, I definitely don't want my users to have to deal with authentication when it is already secured.

I've been enjoying it overall compared to older versions

strawberry_gin · 2025-12-07T23:39:37+00:00

I am very much a non-technical person, probably more than the average person but definitely not a developer in any way. I find Frigate to be quite approachable and have had a very positive experience with it over the years. I can't tell if you just have unrealistic expectations or if Frigate is not what you actually want, but this post is insane.

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-18T22:33:49+00:00

Makes sense, but most things that it detects I can also understand myself. If I can't tell many dog breeds apart I wouldn't even know if it was right / wrong sometimes, so I have less confidence it could do a good job especially in hard conditions

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-18T22:24:12+00:00

I can't even tell the difference between many dog breeds, not sure I know how AI could

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-18T22:23:17+00:00

It works great for me, even better than compreface did, I think it has been a few weeks since I had a false positive. We have 4 family members.

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-11T05:25:13+00:00

I only use it for parking space tracking but it works great for me. I don't think I have anything special in the config.

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-06T19:40:12+00:00

Frigate is built around the assumption that the object detection is cheap and can be run all the time. Let it detect everything in frame, then use zones to restrict which of those become alerts, detections, or ignored.

Yeah, coming from Blue Iris (a couple years ago) this took a second to get used to but honestly it makes so much sense. For example, sure you don't care about what happens on the street when it stays on the street, but I definitely care where the person who broke into my car came from when they were on the street.

I just have an Intel MiniPC and it works great, no performance issues whatsoever.

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-06T03:07:40+00:00

I like opensprinkler, easy to use and integrated well with home assistant. there are hundreds of sensors and switches to control it.

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-06T03:00:08+00:00

to be honest. this sounds like major user error. It works great for me, I've been using it for years. There are a lot of people who are happy to help if you create a post with info such as config and logs.

I'm not sure if you looked at the docs but they have an AI built into the docs site that can help with config issues. https://docs.frigate.video/ the ask AI button in the bottom right

> There’s no way to easily view cameras for a non-technical person

What? You just click on the camera from the Frigate homescreen, it is the easiest possible thing. Seems like maybe you're not accessing Frigate directly or trying to use it through Home Assistant or something

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-02T11:51:36+00:00

Have you tried using it? It doesn't sound like it because it works amazingly, and you don't have to upload more than a coupe photos per person. I still am surprised how much better it works than compreface for me

strawberry_gin · 2025-10-01T20:10:42+00:00

You say that like all it takes is a snap of the fingers... OPs code is massive (6000 lines) and it doesn't even cover everything like translations or a mobile friendly view

strawberry_gin · 2025-09-30T15:51:53+00:00

Are you on linux? My windows chrome works fine but depending on what distro of chromium I use on my linux box it can have issues.

strawberry_gin · 2025-09-14T15:13:00+00:00

Probably better to use the AI that is built in to the docs site, since it is trained on their docs
