It runs locally — no cloud, no subscription, no monthly fees. Point it at any RTSP camera feed and it&rsquo;ll detect objects (person, car, dog, cat) in real-time, record clips on motion events, and let you review everything through a clean web UI.</p> <h2 id="why-frigate-over-something-like-motioneye">Why Frigate over something like MotionEye?</h2> <p>MotionEye is fine for basic motion detection, but it triggers on <em>everything</em> — a curtain moving, shadows shifting, rain. Frigate gives you actual object labels, which means far fewer false alerts. You get a notification that says &ldquo;person detected at the front door&rdquo; instead of 300 motion clips of nothing.</p>
