Smart Traffic Monitoring with Frigate, MQTT, Node-RED, InfluxDB and Grafana!

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a complete traffic monitoring dashboard using a stack of powerful open-source tools: Frigate NVR – https://docs.frigate.video/ Node-RED – https://nodered.org/docs/ MQTT – https://mqtt.org/getting-started/ InfluxDB – https://docs.influxdata.com/ Grafana – https://grafana.com/docs/ I’ll walk you through how to connect these tools together so you can: Track how busy the road outside your house is in real time Collect and store historical data on traffic flow Build an attractive, custom Grafana dashboard to visualise the patterns This video is perfect if you’re into home automation, data visualisation, or just want to learn how these technologies integrate step by step.
