Cat classification with Frigate
My Frigate surveillance setup’s primary purpose is to keep an eye on my cats while I’m away.
An older setup supported only motion detection, but reviewing all motion events of the day while on vacation to make sure that each cat is doing fine was somewhat cumbersome. I switched to Frigate to leverage its entity detection capabilities so I only have to review events that detected cats, and could skip random motion.
AI entity detection with Hailo accelerator for containerized Frigate on Debian Trixie in 2026
Frigate is probably the most comprehensive FOSS video surveillance solution out there. It comes with rich entity detection support using relatively small neural nets, and supports various hardware acceleration strategies out of the box, as well as sporting first-class support of energy efficient single board PCs like the Raspberry Pi.
