Good morning, it's October 2nd, 2026, and this is Frigate NVR Updates.
The lead pattern today is state correctness — making sure detections, recording status, and access checks behave the way operators expect after edge-case transitions.
First, core tracking reliability. PR 24534 fixes rare cases where detection activity happening during an alert would not create a detection afterward. Separately, PR 24522 fixes recording status getting stuck offline after a recording process restart. The restart path bypassed the status cache, so recovery was never…
Second, security and configuration hardening. PR 24516 closes an admin-check bypass where a camera named faces, L P R, audio, or classification let viewers reach restricted face, plate, audio, and classification endpoints. The exemption now only applies on actual camera routes. PR 24517 adds environment variable…
Elsewhere, PRs 24536 and 24538 stabilize builds by increasing root size, cleaning unused components, and correcting space across mounts. PR 24526 documents frigate A B R, a drop-in sidecar approach for reviewing recordings over slow connections.
What's next: test upgrades for recording recovery behavior and review the open…
