Fregata is described as 'Native macOS port of the excellent open-source Frigate NVR. AI object detection runs on the Apple Neural Engine (~1–4 ms/frame), video decode/encode uses VideoToolbox, and AI enrichment models run on the GPU, so one Apple Silicon Mac handles many cameras in real' and is an app in the home & family category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Fregata for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Self-Hosted, Mac, Windows and Android apps. The best Fregata alternative is Frigate NVR, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Fregata are ZoneMinder, Shinobi, Blue Iris and motionEye.
