## Install Any Linux, one command: ```bash 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. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/01-enter-ip.png) Search camera model in database. Enter credentials if needed. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/02-camera-config.png) Strix builds all possible stream URLs from database patterns. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/03-stream-urls.png) 20 parallel workers test every URL. Live screenshots, codecs, resolution, latency. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/04-testing.png) Pick main and sub streams from results. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/05-results.png) Generate ready Frigate config. Copy, download, or save directly to Frigate. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/06-frigate-config.png) Camera works in Frigate. Done. ![](https://github.com/eduard256/Strix/releases/download/v2.0.0/07-frigate-result.png) ## Other install methods ### Docker ```bash docker run -d --name strix --network host --restart unless-stopped eduard256/strix:latest ``` ### Home Assistant Add-on 1. **Settings** > **Add-ons** > **Add-on Store** 2.

Maintained separately in [StrixCamDB](https://github.com/eduard256/StrixCamDB). Database is embedded in Docker image and bundled with binary releases. [Browse supported cameras](https://gostrix.github.io/) - search by brand or model to check if your camera is in the database. 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 Camera not in the database? [Add it here](https://gostrix.github.io/#/contribute). **Developers:** integrate [Strix HTTP API](DEVELOPERS.md) into your smart home platform. **Testing:** [StrixCamFake](https://github.com/eduard256/StrixCamFake) - IP camera emulator for development and testing.
