Fregata is a native macOS port of the excellent open-source Frigate NVR. Object detection runs on the Apple Neural Engine (~1–4 ms/frame) and video decode/encode uses VideoToolbox, so one Apple Silicon Mac handles many cameras in real time — no Docker, no Linux VM, no Coral or GPU, no low quality detection sub-streams. Same Frigate config, web UI, MQTT, and Home Assistant integration. $10 one-time, 30-day trial.
