Use frigate for object tracking

[TheSleepySlee]

Hello,

Been using frigate for several months now, working fine.

I was wondering how to use frigate for object tracking: what I mean is being able to, once object is found (like car, person), adjust PTZ camera to always have detected object in the center of the camera.
Is there a way to retrieve coordinates of object found? For example using MQTT.
Wonder what happens if multiple objects found though.

You can use the centroid coordinates and bounding box from the events mqtt topic. I also have a PTZ, so I will be looking into this at some point.

Looking at the docs for the MQTT event, you get back the box x, coordinates: https://blakeblackshear.github.io/frigate/usage/mqtt#frigateevents Should be able to write an automation that take and calculate a new center or a pan/tilt change.
