Birdseye
Birdseye allows a heads-up view of your cameras to see what is going on around your property / space without having to watch all cameras that may have nothing happening. Birdseye allows specific modes that intelligently show and disappear based on what you care about.
Birdseye Modes
Birdseye offers different modes to customize which cameras show under which circumstances.
- continuous: All cameras are always included
- motion: Cameras that have detected motion within the last 30 seconds are included
- objects: Cameras that have tracked an active object within the last 30 seconds are included
Custom Birdseye Icon
A custom icon can be added to the birdseye background by providing a 180x180 image named custom.png
inside of the Frigate media
folder. The file must be a png with the icon as transparent, any non-transparent pixels will be white when displayed in the birdseye view.
Birdseye view override at camera level
If you want to include a camera in Birdseye view only for specific circumstances, or just don't include it at all, the Birdseye setting can be set at the camera level.
# Include all cameras by default in Birdseye view
birdseye:
enabled: True
mode: continuous
cameras:
front:
# Only include the "front" camera in Birdseye view when objects are detected
birdseye:
mode: objects
back:
# Exclude the "back" camera from Birdseye view
birdseye:
enabled: False
Sorting cameras in the Birdseye view
It is possible to override the order of cameras that are being shown in the Birdseye view. The order needs to be set at the camera level.

Note: Cameras are sorted by default using their name to ensure a constant view inside Birdseye.
