CCTV with Frigate (spec + setup ideas)

What it does

A single-page spec for a low-CPU CCTV system using Frigate + go2rtc, designed for predictable storage and practical van use.

Why it’s useful in a van

  • Security when you’re away
  • Quick outside check at night
  • Record incidents without relying on cloud subscriptions

How to install

  • IP cameras (RTSP/ONVIF) and networking (PoE switch recommended)

  • Storage for recordings (SSD/NVMe)

  • See: homeassistant/HAOS/CCTV/FrigateOverview.md

  • Frigate: https://frigate.video/
  • go2rtc: https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc
