Guides
The guides section is task-oriented: short walkthroughs you can follow when you want to get a specific thing done.
Day-to-day
Section titled “Day-to-day”- The tray menu and Settings — what every menu item does, where settings live on disk, and what the indicators mean.
- Recordings & retention — disk budgets, per-camera retention, event clips vs. continuous record.

Integrations
Section titled “Integrations”- Home Assistant — the official Frigate HACS integration, pointed at your Mac.
- MQTT, webhooks, notifications — what Fregata can push out and where to wire it.
