Camera stream discovery and Frigate config generator.

3,600+ camera brands with 100,000+ URL patterns in SQLite database
automatic device probing in 100ms: ports, ARP/OUI, mDNS/HomeKit, HTTP
20 parallel workers test every URL with live screenshots
supports RTSP, HTTP, RTMP, Bubble, DVRIP and more
ready Frigate config with smart merge into existing setup
auto-discovery of Frigate and go2rtc on local network
zero-dependency static binary for Linux amd64/arm64
can be used as standalone app, Docker, or Home Assistant add-on

Install

Any Linux, one command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eduard256/Strix/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Open http://YOUR_IP:4567

How it works

Enter camera IP. Strix probes the device -- open ports, MAC vendor, mDNS, HTTP server.

Search camera model in database. Enter credentials if needed.

Strix builds all possible stream URLs from database patterns.

20 parallel workers test every URL. Live screenshots, codecs, resolution, latency.

Pick main and sub streams from results.

Generate ready Frigate config. Copy, download, or save directly to Frigate.

Camera works in Frigate. Done.

Camera database

SQLite database with 3,600+ brands and 100,000+ URL patterns. Maintained separately in StrixCamDB. Database is embedded in Docker image and bundled with binary releases.

Three entity types:

Presets -- curated sets of popular URL patterns (e.g. "ONVIF", "Popular RTSP")
Brands -- all URL patterns for a brand (e.g. "Hikvision", "Dahua")
Models -- URL patterns for a specific model within a brand

Developers: integrate Strix HTTP API into your smart home platform.
