NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras

LPR improvements (#20129)
* continue to use paddleocr v3 text detection model for large

v5 was not finding text on multi-line plates at all in testing

* implement clustering of plate variants per event

should reduce OCR inconsistencies and improve plate recognition stability by using string similarity to cluster similar variants (10 per event id) and choosing the highest confidence representative as the final plate

* pass camera

* prune number of variants based on detect fps

* implement replacement rules for cleaning up and normalizing plates

Frigate - NVR With Realtime Object Detection for IP Cameras

Translation status
English

A complete and local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.

Use of a GPU or AI accelerator such as a Google Coral or Hailo is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead.

  • Tight integration with Home Assistant via a custom component
  • Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
  • Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
  • Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
  • Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
  • Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
  • Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
  • 24/7 recording
  • Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
  • WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
