Keep your phone on the same network as Frigate for the one-time private pairing.
Fricam Edge
Run Edge on the same machine as Frigate. It discovers every camera automatically and makes one private, outbound connection—without opening a port or sending recordings to a shared camera cloud.
01
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.
curl -fsSL https://fricam.app/edge/compose.yml | \
docker compose -f - up -d
Keep your phone on the same network as Frigate for the one-time private pairing.
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.
