Full changelog

Major Changes for 0.17.0

Breaking Changes

There are several breaking changes in this release, Frigate will attempt to update the configuration automatically. In some cases manual changes may be required. It is always recommended to back up your current config and database before upgrading:

Simply copy your current config file to a new location
Stop Frigate and make a copy of the frigate.db file

GenAI now supports reviews and object descriptions. As a result, the global genai config now only configures the provider. Other fields have moved under objects -> genai. See the new GenAI documentation.
Recordings retention is now fully tiered. This means that record -> continuous and record -> motion are separate config fields. See the examples in the documentation.
Some of the LPR models have been updated, and most users should manually switch to the small model, which performs well on both CPU and GPU. The large model is the same as 0.16's and is not as accurate as the upgraded small model in 0.17. Use large only if you live in a region with multi-line plates and you are having issues detecting text on them with the small model.
strftime_fmt was deprecated in 0.16, and should now be fully removed from the config in 0.17. Date/time formatting is based on the language selected in the UI.
The auto detection logic for camera resolution has changed. Some cameras fail to correctly advertise their resolution, and in previous versions, a default value was assumed that was not always correct. You may need to explicitly define detect resolution width and height for cameras in your config if Frigate hangs on startup.
The exec, expr, and echo sources for go2rtc are now removed by default to reduce the security risk if an attacker has access to the configuration. This can be disabled using an environment variable GO2RTC_ALLOW_ARBITRARY_EXEC A separate configuration for this for HA addon users will come in a later beta. See the documentation.
Nvidia GTX 900 series GPUs are no longer supported due to updates to ONNX Runtime

New Features

Frigate 0.17 introduces several major new features.

Classification Model Training

Frigate 0.17 supports classification models in two separate types: state classification and object classification. These models are trained locally on your machine using ImageNet via MobileNetV2.

State Classification

State classification allows you to choose a certain region of camera(s) with multiple states, and train on images showing these states. For example, you could create a state classification model to determine if a gate is currently open or closed.

See the documentation.

Object Classification

Object classification allows you to choose an object type, like dog, and classify specific dogs. For example, you can train the model to classify your dog Fido and add a sub label, while not labeling unknown dogs. Another example would be classifying if a person in a construction site is wearing a helmet or not.

See the documentation.

Custom Viewer Roles

Frigate 0.17 now has the ability to create additional viewer user roles to limit access to specific cameras. Users with the admin role can create a uniquely named role from the UI (or auth --> roles in the config) and assign at least one camera to it. Users assigned to the new role will have:

Guarded API access
Limited frontend access, following what the viewer role has access to (Live, Review/History, Explore, Exports), but only to the assigned cameras

See the documentation.

Review Item Summary with GenAI

Frigate 0.17 supports using GenAI to summarize review items. Unlike object descriptions which add a searchable description, review summaries have a structured output that instruct the AI provider to generate a title, description, and classify the activity as dangerous, suspicious, or normal.

This information is displayed in the UI automatically making it easier to see when activity requires further review and easier to understand what is happening during a particular video segment.

See the documentation.

Semantic Search Triggers

Triggers utilize Semantic Search to automate actions when a tracked object matches a specified image or description. Triggers can be configured so that Frigate executes a specific actions when a tracked object's image or description matches a predefined image or text, based on a similarity threshold. Triggers are managed per camera and can be configured via the Frigate UI in the Settings page under the Triggers tab.

See the documentation.

Object Detector Improvements

Frigate 0.17 brings performance increases for many detectors as well as support for new object detection hardware.

Nvidia GPU Performance

Support for Nvidia GPUs has been enhanced by implementing CUDA Graphs. CUDA Graphs work to reduce the involvement of the CPU for each inference, leading to faster inference times and lower CPU usage. CUDA graphs do have some limitations based on the complexity of the model, which means that YOLO-NAS, Semantic Search, and LPR models are not accelerated with CUDA Graphs. They will still continue to run on GPU as they did before.

Intel OpenVINO

Frigate 0.17 supports running models on Intel NPUs, for many models performance on NPU is similar to GPU but more efficient, leaving room to run more enrichment features on the GPU.

OpenVINO has also had many optimizations put in place to reduce memory and CPU utilization for object detection.

RKNN

Frigate 0.17 brings several improvements to RKNN platform including:

Automatic Model Conversion: automatically convert ONNX models to RKNN format. This allows Frigate+ and other models to be seamlessly configured and converted on startup.
Accelerated Enrichment Support: convert and run Semantic Search and Face Recognition models using the NPU. This greatly enhances performance while maintaining high accuracy with large model sizes.

Apple Silicon

Frigate 0.17 supports running object detection on Apple Silicon NPU. This is provided through the Apple Silicon Detector which runs on the host and connects via IPC proxy to Frigate, providing fast and efficient inferences when run within the same Apple device.

See the documentation.

YOLOv9 on Google Coral

Frigate 0.17 supports running a quantized version of YOLOv9 on Coral devices, bringing improved accuracy over the default mobiledet model. Note that due to hardware limitations, only a subset of the objects on the standard COCO labelmap is included. YOLOv9 Frigate+ models are not supported on Coral at this time.

Detail Stream

History view in 0.17 supports an additional view mode, Detail. This mode shows a card for each review item, and expanding a card reveals all tracked objects and their lifecycle events. Selecting any lifecycle event seeks the video to that exact timestamp. You can also overlay a tracked object's path on the video to help with debugging.

Redesigned Tracked Object Details pane

The Tracked Object Details pane in Explore has been redesigned to streamline the layout and consolidate related information. The Object Lifecycle tab is now the Tracking Details tab, which displays video overlays of the tracked object instead of static images, giving a clearer and more intuitive view of its activity.

Changes since RC 4

Major Changes for 0.16.0

Breaking Changes

Simply copy your current config file to a new location
Stop Frigate and make a copy of the frigate.db file

The TensorRT detector has been removed for Nvidia GPUs, the ONNX detector should be used instead. Nvidia recently pushed newer packages and dropped compatibility for older versions of TensorRT. Supporting native TensorRT detector directly has shown to be a large burden, making supporting newer hardware more difficult and increasing the difficulty in updating ONNX runtime. The decision has been made to remove the TensorRT detector which will allow us to focus on supporting more models and bringing more features to the Nvidia platform through ONNX runtime. Users who were running the TensorRT detector will need to update their configuration to use the ONNX detector, and download a new model. YOLO-NAS or YOLOv9 are recommended as they provide superior performance and accuracy compared to the models supported by TensorRT. Documentation
The go2rtc audio handling has been updated to accept any audio codec instead of only AAC. This makes it easier to get audio from cameras that use PCMA/U audio. However, if the recording ffmpeg preset preset-record-generic-audio-copy is currently used it likely will need to be changed to preset-record-generic-audio-aac to continue to support audio in recordings.
```
ffmpeg:
  ...
  output_args: 
    record: preset-record-generic-audio-aac
```
Object detection is now disabled by default. A config migrator will update your config globally with enabled: true for detect:. If you use Frigate with a read-only config, you may need to edit your own config to enable object detection manually.
```
detect:
  enabled: true
```
Frigate will no longer fall back to look for a ffmpeg binary in PATH. If you are extending the Frigate image or somehow injecting a custom ffmpeg binary in a place like /usr/local/bin, please read the custom ffmpeg build guide.
Home Assistant Add-on users will need to be aware of several important breaking changes. See the Important Notes for Home Assistant Add-on Users section below.
The base image for Frigate has been updated to Debian Bookworm. The Jetpack 4 (jp4) and Jetpack 5 (jp5) images have been removed due to not being compatible with the new base image. A new Jetson Jetpack 6 (jp6) build has been contributed by a community member.
The camera group icon pack has been updated. Some of your camera group icons may need to be re-selected.
The Hailo driver and firmware has been updated to 4.21.0. The standard Docker image now provides Hailo support. If you are using Home Assistant Operating System, version 16.0 is required. Other users will need to update the Hailo driver and firmware on their system using the user installation script.
The ROCm migraphx detector has been removed: Instead of separately supporting ROCm via MigraphX and via ONNX, the ROCm (rocm) detector has been removed, and the onnx detector should be used instead. This change should only require changing the type: rocm to type: onnx in detectors
An additional parameter has been added to movement_weights for autotracking users. A config migrator will add the new value so that Frigate starts, but if this fails or you are using relative zooming with autotracking, you should remove movement_weights from your config and recalibrate.
Proxy header mapping for user roles is now required or setting the default_role to admin is required to achieve the same functionality as previous versions. This version implements a Viewer role, which is now the default for authenticated users without a role header map defined in the config. If you are using a proxy, you must include admin in your mapped role header in order for admin users to retain their elevated privileges. See the documentation.
The strftime_fmt config option is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The UI will now define time formats based on your language and locale.
Some API routes are now protected and require credentials or changes. With the introduction of the Viewer role and the ability to mark review items as reviewed separately per-user, changes may be needed to any services making calls to Frigate's API.
Some users may need to adjust the tls_insecure onvif config if ONVIF PTZ controls were previously working in past versions but fail to work in 0.16. The ONVIF package was upgraded for 0.16, and several users have reported that setting tls_insecure: false fixed their issues.

Important Notes for Home Assistant Add-on Users

For Home Assistant add-on users only

The Frigate config directory for add-on users was changed from the Home Assistant config directory to the add-on config directory. With this change, the Frigate config file and database are now part of the add-on backup taken by Home Assistant, no longer needing to backup them manually. Note that only backups after 0.16 will benefit of this change. If you took a backup of Frigate 0.15 when updating to 0.16, the Frigate config file and database will not be part of it. In that case, you should still backup them manually before updating to Frigate 0.16.

Automatic migration

Upon the first Frigate 0.16 initialization, all Frigate-related files will be moved from the Home Assistant config directory to the Frigate add-on config directory. This will mean these files will no longer be accessible through your Home Assistant /config directory. They will now be found in the /addon_configs directory, which can also be accessed through the Terminal or VS Code add-ons.

In the new directory, the Frigate config file will be named config.yml rather than frigate.yml. This aligns with people running Frigate through other means. If you want to move back to Frigate 0.15 and did not backup the config file, you can copy the config.yml from the /addons_config back to /config/frigate.yml before restoring the add-on. Consider copying back other files as well, like custom model, custom ffmpeg, and custom go2rtc. Note that the database from 0.16 is not compatible with Frigate 0.15 anyway and thus should not be copied back. To restore the database, you must restore it from a manual backup.

Moving the config directory between add-on variants

The /addon_configs directory contains the config directories of all add-ons. You can move files from one addon config directory to another, like from Frigate Beta to the stable one, or vice-versa. Make sure you do that before uninstalling the add-on, unless you do not select the Also permanently delete this addon's data when uninstalling it.

Breaking change

If your Frigate config file refers to any arbitrary files in the Home Assistant config dir, like echo:/config/ scripts, their references must be manually updated to from /config/ to /homeassistant/.

New Features

Frigate 0.16 introduces several major new features.

Face Recognition

Frigate utilizes face detection and recognition to apply sub-labels to known faces. Recognized faces can be included in built-in notifications and integrated into third-party notifications.

Frigate+ is not required to use Face Recognition. However, using a Frigate+ model (or a custom model that detects face natively) enhances efficiency by eliminating the need for separate face detection per person.

The accuracy of face recognition heavily depends on the quality of the images used for training. It is highly recommended to follow the training guide to achieve the best results.

Refer to the Face Recognition documentation for more.

License Plate Recognition (LPR)

Frigate detects and recognizes license plates, saving recognized plates to tracked car objects. Known license plates can also be assigned custom labels (e.g., AB12345 --> Bob's Car).

Frigate+ is not required for License Plate Recognition. However, using a Frigate+ model (or a custom model that detects license_plate natively) improves efficiency by eliminati...
