Kapal+ Health Alerts are here. Offline camera alerts have been expanded into a new Health Alerts section, now with low-storage warnings for your Frigate storage locations.
This update includes:
- New low-storage alerts with per-storage GB thresholds
- Health Alerts now combines camera offline alerts and storage alerts in one place
- Fresh health checks when opening the Health Alerts page, so camera status and storage amounts are up to date
- Improved playback compatibility for some H.265/HEVC event clips, including cameras that produce
hev1tagged video files - Video playback errors are now shown in a cleaner location instead of covering the video preview
- Smoother live camera snapshots with less bursty loading, better WebP handling, and improved fallback behavior on slower Frigate systems
- More forgiving local connection checks for slower networks, VPNs, and busy Frigate servers
- Improved filter loading so cached camera and label filters are preserved when startup metadata is slow to respond
- Fixed an Activity by Camera text layout issue in System stats
- General polish and reliability improvements for alert handling, playback, snapshots, and connection handling
A sincere thank you to everyone who reaches out with logs, screenshots, camera models, and detailed issue reports. That feedback is a huge part of why I can keep improving Kapal across more real-world Frigate setups. My family will only let me buy so many cameras, so reports from your systems help me fix things I could not reproduce on my own.
If you run into any issues, please email me from inside the app. Those reports really do help shape fixes and improvements.
