What NVR Do You Run? (alien.top)

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!

Tried shinobi and no matter what I did, I couldn't get the shm partition to be larger.

Tried frigate with telsa p4 and it absolutely would not use gpu encoding. I wanted to try the gpu object detection, but didn't even make it that far.

Tried frigate with 8th Gen Intel igpu, also wouldn't use hardware transcode so didn't make it to object detection.

Now I just use synology surveillance station. I am going to be adding a 3rd and 4th camera, so I will probably have to try my luck again with something else because I don't want to fork out for the license.

Why don't you just get the Coral TPU? The price is $69-79 on Amazon.

I was on the same boat except for no GPU or iGPU pass-through. I tried Shinobi, but I got too many artifacts. Motioneye was too CPU hungry and no audio. Zoneminder was the only one that worked for me, but the motion is kind of hard to calibrate.

A year ago, I purchased the USB Coral TPU and setup Frigate. So far, Frigate is the best I have tried. The only missing piece is continuous recording. I want to do the setup that I had with Zoneminder, where I could chain a continuous recording at the lowest resolution. Then, if motion is detected, Motion record at the highest resolution.
