Frigate
Overview
Frigate is the NVR (Network Video Recorder) software that runs on OVERSEER. It's connected to and records from all of the now formerly Cox security cameras.
It's configured to record from every camera for 60 days, and it rolls over the recordings when it hits 60 days. It's main feature, however, is AI detections. It uses AI to check the cameras for the presence of people, dogs, and cats (as configured currently) and if it detects them, it records a clip for as long as they are in frame.
Frigate can be accessed at frigate.sabts.cloud
On the webpage you will find several tabs. The cameras tab shows a snapshot of all of the cameras, and several options for them. The toggle detect/recording/snapshot buttons should be left alone and on.
The sidebar also contains the Storage, System, Config, and Logs tabs. The Config tab allows you to view but also to edit the config file. Editing the config shouldn't be necessary unless more cameras are being added.
Frigate is only a temporary cost-saving solution for campus surveillance. It should be retired in favor of Unifi Protect.
Cameras
The cameras are running on an isolated network on the 192.168.4.0/24 subnet, and access to their web interfaces can be gained either by physically connecting a device to the labeled port on the sanctuary backbone switch or by resuming the firewall rule bridging the main network and the camera network.
The Frigate LXC container has access via a dedicated Ethernet link.
There are two types of cameras - 7 Hikvision 3MP cameras, and 1 Digital Watchdog camera. The Hikvision cameras have username: admin and password: 12345, and the DW camera has username: admin, and password: Password!1
