I combined Frigate and Home Assistant to get detailed notifications from my surveillance cameras

Frigate is one of the most popular NVR utilities out there, and for good reason. It has terrific motion detection provisions, works with most AI accelerators, and offers a clean UI to monitor your camera feed – all while running on low-power devices like the Raspberry Pi. While Frigate can utilize the WebPush protocol to send notifications to web browsers, it may seem too rudimentary when you’ve got a home lab armed to the teeth with cool self-hosted services.
