Fricam Edge setup

Your Frigate server.
Available from anywhere.

Run Edge beside Frigate to reach live video, events, recordings, reviews, timeline, and snapshots through one private outbound connection without a public URL, VPN, or inbound port.

Pro buys the app. Edge brings your server with you.

Fricam Pro is a one-time license for app features. Edge is the ongoing network service that makes those features available away from home while your Frigate server remains private.

What works remotely
Live view, events, recordings, reviews, timeline, snapshots, and two-way audio on supported cameras, with the same experience and no external host configuration.
How the route works
Fricam prefers local and peer-to-peer paths, then falls back to an encrypted Cloudflare relay with short-lived connection credentials when a direct route is unavailable.
What is included
10 GB of managed relay data every month. Fricam tries a direct private connection first; direct traffic never uses this allowance.
What Fricam does not store
Your recordings and camera credentials. Relay media remains encrypted in transit, and Edge stays open source beside your own Frigate server.

Install beside Frigate

Open a terminal on the host that runs this Frigate server. The image stores only its device identity in a Docker volume. Repeat this once for each Frigate server you use.

Running Frigate as a Home Assistant add-on instead? See the Home Assistant add-on setup guide.

Stay on home Wi-Fi

Keep your phone on the same network as Frigate for the one-time private pairing.

03

Pair this server

Select the matching server profile in Fricam, open Settings → Fricam Edge, then tap Pair on this phone. Each server keeps its own pairing.

Your media stays yours. Edge keeps a short live buffer in memory only. Camera video remains end-to-end encrypted over WebRTC, with TURN used only when a direct path cannot be established.
