+# Frigate
+
+[Frigate](https://frigate.video/) is an open source NVR built around real-time AI object detection.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+No other services are required to run Frigate in the default configuration,
+but it is commonly deployed together with an MQTT broker such as:
+* [mosquitto](mosquitto.md)
+* [rumqttd](rumqttd.md)
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable this service, add the following to your `vars.yml` and re-run the [installation](../installing.md).
+
+```yaml

+
+## Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration
+
+The playbook supports configuring hardware acceleration in Frigate.
+
+For example, to enable Intel hardware acceleration with VA-API, add the
+following lines to your `vars.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Use VA-API to detect and use whatever hw accel is available on the system
+frigate_ffmpeg_hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi
+
+# Give the frigate container access to the Intel device
+frigate_devices:
+  - /dev/dri/renderD128
+```
+
+Refer to the [Frigate documentation on hardare acceleration](https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/hardware_acceleration)
+for more details and support for other hardware.
