After 8+ years of using Zoneminder I'm looking to move to something less resource intensive and have tested Frigate with a USB Coral device and really like how little cpu this uses. Only issue is I can't figure out how to recreate the ease of use I get by using ZMNinja app on my phone. So, for those of you using Frigate how do you access it remotely on your phone that doesn't involve first connecting to your home network using VPN/Wireguard/Tailscale?

Currently I use Nginx-Proxy-Manger to forward secure connections to my Zoneminder server and use Zoneminder's built in authentication.

VPN. Wireguard will auto connect my iPhone when I leave my home network.

Interesting, is that feature just part of the wireguard app, or so you have something else that knows when you are no longer on your home network enabling wireguard? Also, what do you use to view your cameras and events on mobile?
