Finally have the stream from my HikVision, now the challenge of Frigate I’ve now managed to get the stream of my HiWatch Series, model HWI- T641H-Z 2.8-12 mm by accessing via browser to rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.30.50:554/Streaming/Channels/101. Working nice. But on its own, very unusful unless I get storage and image detection going. So, I need something like Frigate. I believe the Frigate docs suggest running in a docker container installed on a VM. Very convienient as I have Proxmox (installed on a optiples 7070 micropc with 32MB ram) running a VM on which i have a few containers. The idea is to mount a “frigate” dataset created on my Truenas server on Proxmox which is then mounted to the VM. Lots of layers but hoping it should be ok. I heard that the Google Coral TPU is not sold anymore. Is this going to be a problem for Frigate image recognition? Are there alternatives to the Coral TPU?

    I try Frigate about once a year and go right back to Blue Iris very quickly. I wish I could say otherwise.

    In my experience frigate is quite CPU intensive. I have 10 cameras and my old I7-8700 would die trying to have frigate process them all. I opted for a different approach with LazyNVR (codeberg.org/LazyNVR/lazynvr-sources) leveraging the capability of the camera to perform motion detection and video recording directly. This offloaded my CPU and now I can record all 10 cameras on a OPi3.
