Lumen for Frigate is the beautifully crafted native companion app for Frigate NVR — the leading open-source, AI-powered network video recorder. Monitor your security cameras, review intelligent detections, and play back recordings, all from a stunning dark glassmorphism interface designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
LIVE CAMERA VIEWS
Stream all your Frigate cameras in real time. Switch between single and multi-camera layouts with smooth, responsive controls. See what matters at a glance from anywhere on your network.
AI-POWERED EVENT DETECTION
Browse events detected by Frigate's advanced AI models — people, vehicles, animals, packages, and more. View snapshots, thumbnails, and clips for every detection. Filter and search events by camera, label, zone, or time range to find exactly what you need.
RECORDING PLAYBACK
Scrub through continuous recordings with an intuitive timeline. Jump to any moment, review footage around detected events, and play back multi-camera views in sync for complete situational awareness.
FACE RECOGNITION
Review and manage recognized faces detected by Frigate. Quickly identify familiar visitors and track appearances across your cameras.
SEMANTIC SEARCH
Go beyond simple filters — use natural language to search your event history. Describe what you are looking for and let AI find matching detections across all your cameras.
SYSTEM MONITORING
Keep tabs on your Frigate server's health. View CPU and GPU usage, storage capacity, detector inference speed, and camera performance metrics at a glance.
AUTO-DISCOVERY
Lumen automatically finds Frigate servers on your local network and supports Tailscale connections, so setup takes just seconds.

Frigate NVR is required. Lumen is an independent third-party client and is not affiliated with the Frigate project.
Useful app but still has the feel of an early beta. Still I paid for it as I think it shows potential and want to support the dev. Will reevaluate as it grows.
Shows promise

Looks good but cannot get authentication to work.
Critical fix — the Smart Assistant no longer crashes the app on devices where Apple Intelligence isn't available or hasn't finished downloading.
Apple Bridge mode now respects every notification rule — alert rules, cooldowns, label filters, profiles, geofencing, snoozes and quiet hours all apply to events delivered via iCloud, exactly like in Instant Push mode.
New camera filter menu — long-press a camera in the grid to mute notifications, restrict to a single label (e.g. "Only person"), or ignore a specific label, all without leaving the Cameras tab.
Cleaner Notifications hub — the legacy "Notification Rules" entry has been removed; everything lives under Alert Rules now.
