Frigate FAQ

Is Frigate free?

Do I need to install anything or write code to use Frigate?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does Frigate work on a phone?

Can I use Frigate commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
