PCIe M.2 adapters (piefed.ca)

This isn't specifically Home Assistant, but so many people seem to be using Frigate with Home Assistant it feels close enough.

I recently got my first camera. I tried ZoneMinder for a while, but have given up - just overwhelmed with false positives for fog, rain, insects etc. and not being able to tune them out. Most people seem to be going Frigate so I'll give that a go.

I don't really want to use a USB TPU (no real reason) and my current server has no Mini PCIe or M.2 slots. I recall seeing people say they had bad experiences with PCIe M.2 adapters.

Does anyone here have any experience to share about any specific adapter?

Do you need a TPU? If you have a 7th gen or later Intel iGPU you can use OpenVINO in frigate and it works just as well if not better.

yeah, I need a TPU - my CPU is 5 generations too old
