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.
Set your API key​
In Frigate, you can use an environment variable or a docker secret named PLUS_API_KEY
to enable the Frigate+
buttons on the Explore 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).
You cannot use the environment_vars
section of your Frigate configuration file to set this environment variable. It must be defined as an environment variable in the docker config or HA addon config.
Submit examples​
Once your API key is configured, you can submit examples directly from the Explore page in Frigate. From the More Filters menu, select "Has a Snapshot - Yes" and "Submitted to Frigate+ - No", and press Apply at the bottom of the pane. Then, click on a thumbnail and select the Snapshot tab.
You can use your keyboard's left and right arrow keys to quickly navigate between the tracked object snapshots.
Snapshots must be enabled to be able to submit examples to Frigate+
Annotate and verify​
You can view all of your submitted images at https://plus.frigate.video. Annotations can be added by clicking an image. For more detailed information about labeling, see the documentation on annotating.
Use Models​
Once you have requested your first model and gotten your own model ID, it 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://<your_model_id>
Model IDs are not secret values and can be shared freely. Access to your model is protected by your API key.
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://<your_model_id>
labelmap:
3: animal
4: animal
5: animal
