Chismoso

Introduction

Welcome to the Chismoso docs

Chismoso is a small, fast app for watching and reviewing the cameras on your Frigate NVR server. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with Android and iOS on the way. These docs cover everything from the first download to scripting timelapses from the command line.

Note

Chismoso is an independent project. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the Frigate project; it simply talks to your Frigate server the same way Frigate's own web interface does.
