@amitmula Integrating the Aqara Video Doorbell G4 with Frigate for face recognition sounds like an exciting project! The G4 doorbell already comes equipped with its own on-device facial recognition capabilities. It can identify visitors and send you notifications via the connected app. The doorbell features a wide-angle camera and supports local AI for facial recognition alerts.

To integrate with Frigate, you would likely need to configure the video stream from the G4 to be accessible to Frigate, which is an open-source NVR with real-time object detection. The doorbell supports streaming to smart displays, which might help in setting up a compatible stream for Frigate. However, the direct method to integrate these two systems isn’t detailed in the available resources.

If you’re looking to expand on the G4’s built-in capabilities and get additional functionality from Frigate, such as centralized monitoring or customized alerts, it might require some creative configuration or third-party tools to bridge the systems effectively. The community would likely have more insights and shared experiences, so I encourage sharing your progress or asking for tips from others who might have tried similar setups.
