Anonymous Analytics

Frigate can send one anonymous usage report a day. The reports show the maintainers which hardware to support, which features people use, and how releases perform. Sharing is off until you turn it on.

Turning it on

Enable Share anonymous analytics at Settings→System→Telemetry, or set it in your config:

telemetry:
  analytics: true

The same page has a Preview the report button that shows exactly what the next report contains.

How it's sent

• Once a day, as a JSON POST to https://analytics.frigate.video/report
• The server looks up your country and region from your IP address and never stores the address
• Raw reports are kept for 60 days; only aggregate totals are published
• A random install ID, stored in /config/.analytics.json, keeps your install from being counted twice. Turning sharing off deletes it

What's never sent

• Camera, zone, group, profile, or user names
• Object labels, face names, or license plate text
• IP addresses, hostnames, URLs, or stream paths
• Credentials or API keys
• Events, recordings, or anything from them

Every field
