About
Kapal A minimal, secure viewer for your Frigate NVR system. Kapal is a lightweight and privacy-focused iOS and iPadOS app built specifically for users of the Frigate NVR (Network Video Recorder) system. Designed with simplicity, performance, and security in mind, Kapal lets you connect to your Frigate server and monitor your camera feeds with ease, without unnecessary bloat. Key Features: - Live Camera Grid: View all your cameras in a clean, real-time grid layout. - Minimal Mode: Hide borders, labels, and UI elements to maximize visibility. See more cameras at once with less scrolling. - Full-Screen Playback: Tap any feed to enter fullscreen live view. - Picture in Picture: Keep a live camera visible while using other apps or navigating around your device. - Event Review: Browse and replay past detection events directly in the app. - H.265 / HEVC Support: Watch supported H.265 / HEVC live streams and Event Clips directly in Kapal. - Privacy-First Design: Built natively with no analytics, trackers, or data collection. Whether you’re reviewing a single feed or monitoring multiple zones, Kapal keeps the interface fast, clean, and efficient. Disclaimer: Kapal requires an existing Frigate NVR system to function. H.265 / HEVC support is still evolving and compatibility may vary depending on your camera, stream configuration, and Frigate/go2rtc setup. If an Event Clip does not play correctly in Kapal, it may still work in a dedicated video player such as the VLC mobile app.

Cloudflare Tunnel support is currently in beta, and we would love to hear about your experience. Faster Server Switching with Kapal+ Managing multiple Frigate servers is now much faster. Kapal+ users can quickly switch between saved servers without returning to setup or repeatedly entering connection details.
