This runs YOLOv8 + bytetrack with Tinygrad detections (depending on user config) are saved and can be sent to the companion iOS app along with a notification, all video processing is done locally, all footage is encrypted before leaving your computer, and the sending notifications + videos part is optional.
This uses tinygrad, so it runs well on my apple silicon macs and should be able to run on a lot of hardware (or will be able to when I remove other deps).
I love frigate... just had my neighbors come by because their dog was sick and were wondering if the dog had got into something in our back yard. Pulled up frigate, searched for "black dog" on the backyard camera, and found all the video of their dog.
