User of Frigate here. Seems these are some pretty major differences of what you can do for free with Frigate, but if you use Clearcam, you need to pay for "Clearcam Premium":

- View your live camera feeds remotely.

- Receive notifications on events (objects/people detected).

- View event clips remotely.

- End-to-end encryption on all data.

What neither of the solutions seem to have, is encryption at rest. But I guess others, just like me, rather encrypt the volume/storage itself, instead of leaving it up to applications anyways, so might/might not matter for you.

The author states elsewhere that the payments are for the use of their server, which can be reconfigured.

Yeah, I'll admit to not having tried Clearcam myself, I was just going by the information from the README as-is.
