Frigate is an open-source intelligent video surveillance software that can detect and identify objects in real-time. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Frigate onto your Kali Linux computer.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install Docker on our Kali Linux machine. Run the following command to install Docker on Kali Linux.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io
Once Installed, you can check the version of Docker using the following command:
sudo docker --version
After installing Docker, it's time to pull the Frigate image from Docker Hub.
sudo docker pull blakeblackshear/frigate
Before starting Frigate, you need to create a configuration file for it. You can create a config.yaml file using the following command:
sudo nano config.yaml
Add the following code into the file:
mqtt:
host: mqtt
user:
password:
cameras:
- name: cam1
rtsp_url: rtsp://your_rtsp_url
fps: 5
width: 640
height: 480
objects:
track:
- person
mask:
- person
Make sure to replace the RTSP URL with the URL of your camera.
Now that everything is set up, it's time to start Frigate.
sudo docker run --name frigate -d --restart unless-stopped --privileged --device /dev/bus/usb blakeblackshear/frigate
Assuming everything was set up correctly, you should now be able to access the Frigate interface by navigating your browser to http://localhost:5000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Frigate on Kali Linux. Enjoy using Frigate to detect and identify objects in real-time.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
