  • It should not be too difficult to set that up with Tailscale. There’s no advanced configuration or anything of the sort. Download runtime binaries -> unzip -> generate a user credentials QR using the config tool -> put the user_credentials file in the user_credentials folder next to the server binary -> setup a service for the server on the machine you intend to use.

    Our post was taken down on Reddit a couple hours after it was made due to a misunderstanding. The moderators re-instated it a day or two later.






  • Hi muusemuuse, this is meant to be a drop-in replacement to WiFi cameras (and therefore accessible to non-technical users, easy to use and easy to setup). Frigate is great, and we definitely recommend it if you have the time to get it up and running.

    In regard to being able to use it without the app, that’s not possible unfortunately due to the end-to-end encryption that takes place. An application needs to be on the other end to decrypt things.

    Our app is available through Obtainium if you do not like the Play Store. It is also reproducible, so you can verify to make sure it was derived from our mobile_client codebase.











  • Sorry about that! Is there anything specific I can answer?

    The base runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. This is capable of running motion and AI detection (human/pet/vehicle). It supports live-streaming and motion/ai-detected events, which sends a 20 second video clip to the mobile app. All of this is end to end encrypted.

    With DIY, you’re able to pick between an OV5647 and IMX219 sensor (Raspberry Pi Camera Module V1 and V2 respectively). With V1, it’s 1296x972. With V2, it’s 1640x1232 (97.4% of 1080p).



  • Hi Brkdncr, thanks for the question!

    We honestly do not have a concrete answer for the temp ranges. We’ve done some testing and made sure they stay under 150F in the 3D case shown in the picture.

    We do not currently directly support solar/battery usage. You can probably DIY something together though!

    For Software: We’ve started to thoroughly go through our dependencies by using the Cargo Vet tool, in addition to looking for unmaintained dependencies, dependencies that we can replace with a few lines of code, etc.

    For Hardware: We’re using trusted hardware providers like Raspberry Pi to try to mitigate this.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
