Fricam Edge setup

Fricam Edge

One small service.
Much faster remote video.

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.

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.

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.
