Looking to change up my blue iris install to something more free. I’m going to be recording my house, my mother’s house and my in laws house all using tailscale. I planned on using frigate, even bought a Coral TPU for the human detection and a better motion detection. (At least I think it makes it better?) But not sure if this changed, I saw that frigate and TOU doesn’t do well in a VM (proxmox for me).

So two things:

  1. Curious what you run/suggest
  2. If you run frigate on a vm with a coral, how did pass through work?

Total between all houses, I’ll have 14 cameras recording off the bat, might add a few more over the years. I also have a gpu to handle the encoding and plenty of storage. Their upload speeds are ok too and my download speeds can handle it.

Thanks!

    oh that’s really interesting - I didn’t even think of doing that. I should have clarified, USB pass through did not work for me, but I did not try GPU.

      i bought a nvidia gtx 1060 on ebay used for $100. these older gpu are cheap, readily available and work just as well as the corals. seems like a win to me. that being said, not everyone has a system that can take a gpu (like a mini-pc), but if you can it’s a great option.
