Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR update for June 3rd, 2026.
The main development this cycle centers on user interface customization, specifically giving administrators more control over what appears in the review interface.
Pull request 23387 from Nick M introduces the ability to hide cameras from the review UI. This isn't just a simple toggle - the implementation touches several interconnected areas including camera configuration, global settings, and the review filter group functionality. The change required updates to internationalization files as well, indicating new user-facing text for these controls.
The commit details show this feature required coordination across UI components, camera management systems, and the events framework. This suggests the camera visibility setting integrates deeply with how Frigate organizes and displays recorded footage during review sessions.
For developers working on camera management or review interface features, this change establishes a new configuration pattern for controlling camera visibility that you'll want to understand. The scope indicates this affects how the review filter group processes camera data, which could impact related features or future camera management work.
Looking ahead, this type of granular UI control suggests Frigate is moving toward more customizable user experiences. Teams working on multi-camera deployments now have better tools for organizing complex setups, and the internationalization updates indicate this feature is designed for broader adoption.
That's your Frigate update - one focused change that enhances review interface flexibility.
