I’m looking into self hosted and open source nvr options and frigate looks like the right fit for me. I’m curious what hardware others are running it on and how many cameras they have. How many people are running it in home assistsnt?
I have it running in a Dell Optiplex that I bought used with an i7-4790 and a Coral Mini-PCIe. I had to buy an adapter for the Mini-PCIe, but that depends on your motherboard.
I only have 2 cameras – a 1080p Amcrest wifi cam, and a 4MP Amcrest wired camera. For the 4MP camera, I use a lower resolution sub-stream for motion detection, because motion detection is CPU only. Once Frigate detects motion, it then sends everything to the Coral for object detection. That’s my understanding, at least.

Frigate is wonderful.
