To tune Frigate, it can sometimes be useful to input saved clips in order to see how detection works. I've found the easiest way to accomplish this is by grabbing a clip (say, from your NVR), and streaming this on a loop via RTSP to Frigate. This will let you tune settings with an existing configuration, which is a bit different to using process_clip.py
that's included with Frigate.
- A sample clip, in a format supported by
ffmpeg
(.mp4
is good) - Docker on a machine that'll do the streaming
- A working
ffmpeg
install. I'm using a mac, so I typically install via Brew:brew install ffmpeg
