Good morning, this is your Frigate NVR weekly update for March 15th through 22nd, 2026.
42 pull requests merged with 53 additional commits this week, delivering substantial interface improvements and critical fixes.
Starting with major features: Camera profiles received full implementation with friendly names, override capabilities, and complete UI integration. Users can now create named configuration profiles that override base camera settings without requiring restarts. The settings interface expanded significantly with Go2RTC stream configuration now available directly in the UI, including credential masking and FFmpeg module utilities.
New API capabilities include camera feature toggles and a looping GenAI process for continuous camera monitoring. The vision chat system gained dynamic functionality, while the process watchdog received improvements for better system reliability.
Bug fixes dominated this week's activity with 16 critical issues resolved. Security improvements include SQL injection prevention in face ID queries and access validation for preview filenames. System stability fixes addressed division by zero errors in PTZ autotracking, memory leaks in WebRTC players, and proper cleanup of orphaned event snapshots.
Notable fixes include corrected operator precedence in detection type checks that were causing always-true conditions, proper volume state preservation across multiple cameras, and fixes for custom logo placement in birdseye view. Several FFmpeg preset issues were resolved, including FPS placeholder replacement and GPU selector bounds checking.
Translation updates covered 136 files with over 14,000 additions, significantly expanding international language support. Documentation received updates for Axera device configuration and ONVIF environment variables.
The infrastructure improvements included MQTT enhancements with "stopped" status publishing on clean shutdown, storage cleanup prevention in safe mode, and proper config inheritance handling in profile management.
Additional commits focused on AXEngine detector configuration improvements and API refinements for the camera toggle functionality.
Next week's development will likely continue expanding the profile system capabilities and addressing any issues discovered from this week's substantial UI changes.
That's your Frigate NVR update. Stay secure, stay monitored.
