Frigate Timelapse

A while back Frigate didn’t support timelapse so I wrote my own node app to handle that for me.

It takes still images every 2(ish) seconds and stores them in a folder, then when a url is called it’ll make a short video of those images and send them to home assistant (if you want it to).

I’ve tidied up the code somewhat and released it on GitHub and DockerHub.

If interested, head on over to my github.

I find it a bit quicker and easier than the current way of grabbing timelapses from Frigate and it will probably serve no use to anyone other than myself but figured I’d share it.
