Camera Setup

Add cameras to Frigate, tune detection, and expand beyond the first feed.

Start with Adding your first camera, then use the other guides as your system grows.

• Adding your first camera — Connect an Amcrest or Ubiquiti camera and add it to Frigate on your network.
• Tested camera list — RTSP notes and verification status for cameras LAN Foundry supports.
• Camera VLAN placement — Which switch ports and VLAN assignments to use as you add cameras.
• Recording zones and motion — Limit detection and alerts to areas that matter on each feed.
• AI accelerator setup — Add or configure a Hailo-8 accelerator on supported systems.
• Tuning motion sensitivity — Reduce false alerts from wind, shadows, and passing traffic.
