(Local + Private AI Surveillance) **[NetworkChuck](https://daily.dev/sources/networkchuck)** · 39 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Frigate is an open-source, local AI surveillance system that runs entirely on your network without cloud connectivity. It supports object detection, facial recognition, license plate recognition, and semantic search using local AI accelerators like Google Coral or Raspberry Pi AI HAT. The system can be deployed via Docker on various hardware (Raspberry Pi, desktop PCs) and integrates with IP cameras supporting RTSP protocol. Key setup involves configuring Docker containers, connecting cameras via RTSP streams, and optionally adding AI accelerators for improved performance. The author encountered WiFi saturation issues when running 10 wireless cameras, which were resolved through configuration optimization (enabling CBR, using TCP, implementing Go-RTC), scheduled camera reboots, and adding additional access points to distribute network load. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
