Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
Let me know if you need any help, I've been testing so many builds of both the server and the app and talking with the dev team so much I almost feel like an expert in Fregata now. -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
I found one bug and they fixed it same day. Some others found some other bugs. It honestly doesn't feel like a beta at all. I'm finally considering turning off my HA notifications for Fregata. They've got the basics very well covered with this app, excited to see all the stuff they add to it... -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
Just got the GitHub notification that the Beta is live. Installing now. I'll be gone all weekend so it will be a good test of the remote features. -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
We discussed it last week via email. The main things I wanted if I was going to replace my HA notifications was the ability to select the notification sound and having the ability to hopefully filter notifications at certain times of the day or when at home. And of course a good camera and clip... -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
If you have a GitHub account I'd add a comment here about the iOS app, just saw this this morning: Any Interest in Fregata Mobile? A first-class iOS app for Fregata & Frigate? · 3rdBitLabs Fregata · Discussion #73 I assume there will be a beta period. -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
I don't have an M1, so it's hard to say, but with a base M4, all AI Enrichment stuff turned on and 8 active dahua cams it's using 5.1% CPU, and 4.9GB of RAM currently according to the stats. Turning off the enrichments would drop the RAM usage by a lot, I think it was around 2.1GB without those... -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
I am, of course. The latest update made LPR, Facial Recognition, and Semantic Search enrichments run fully on the Mac GPU and they're now crazy fast, just like object detection already was. I've worked with the developers to fix a few bugs I've found, they typically respond and have a fix within... -

Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS
Yeah I used to be one of the biggest fans and proponents of blue iris. But I don't miss it even a little bit. Something was always broken. Updates would fix one thing and break something else. -

I need to take a look at the reolink doorbells again. last I looked they had a white version and a black version, I needed the aspect ratio of the white one for my scene, but needed black to better match dark siding. I would have bought instantly if they had both aspect ratios in both colors... -

Not sure I would say "pro" lol. But I absolutely love it. Compared to Blue iris and regular Frigate in docker Fregata is a beast. Happy to answer questions anyone has. I have all ubiquiti networking gear too, I'm thinking about getting one of their doorbells, just since no one else makes a good... -

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... -

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... -

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. -

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... -

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...
