Frigate+

For more information about how to use Frigate+ to improve your model, see the Frigate+ docs.

Setup​

Create an account​

Free accounts can be created at https://plus.frigate.video.

Generate an API key​

Once logged in, you can generate an API key for Frigate in Settings.

API key

Set your API key​

In Frigate, you can use an environment variable or a docker secret named PLUS_API_KEY to enable the SEND TO FRIGATE+ buttons on the events page. Home Assistant Addon users can set it under Settings > Addons > Frigate NVR > Configuration > Options (be sure to toggle the "Show unused optional configuration options" switch).

caution

You cannot use the environment_vars section of your configuration file to set this environment variable.

Submit examples​

Once your API key is configured, you can submit examples directly from the events page in Frigate using the SEND TO FRIGATE+ button.

note

Snapshots must be enabled to be able to submit examples to Frigate+

Use Models​

Models available in Frigate+ can be used with a special model path. No other information needs to be configured for Frigate+ models because it fetches the remaining config from Frigate+ automatically.

model:
  path: plus://e63b7345cc83a84ed79dedfc99c16616

Models are downloaded into the /config/model_cache folder and only downloaded if needed.

If needed, you can override the labelmap for Frigate+ models. This is not recommended as renaming labels will break the Submit to Frigate+ feature if the labels are not available in Frigate+.

model:
  path: plus://e63b7345cc83a84ed79dedfc99c16616
  labelmap:
    3: animal
    4: animal
    5: animal
