So what I have going on is Blue-Iris. I have a load of pixel barriers and notifications wrapped around times. If someone opens the community mailbox not between 2 and 4 pm on week days or 11am on Saturday, it sends me a webhook ntfy with the image and an emergency alarm (mail thefts been happening). I have it doing ALPR on two streets and then I have alarms for humans in the driveway and humans on the back porch at specific hours with more webhook ntfy. I dedupe alarms and use Blue-Iris for scrubbing and storage.
My cameras are super good at AI person detection and provide it through ONVIF so I don't know that I'll get a lot more out of it, but getting rid of the Windows laptop running the job would be nice.
I believe Frigate can do all that, but you're looking a huge investment of time to duplicate your Blue-Iris configuration. If it were me I'd be tempted to put up with Windows until something forced a change.
I'll get to it eventually before it breaks :) Of all the windows needs, that's the lowest hanging fruit.
Home Assistant already draws feeds from the cameras in tandem, so the alerts themselves could be replaced easily, but getting the offending image and the pixel barriers would require Frigate. I'll probably build it up in a container and pass through a USB Coral
You may not even need the Coral. I moved from a old system with an ancient CPU and usb Coral to a small laptop with a Intel N200 processor. With Frigate running in Docker the N200's object detection is just as fast as the Coral with almost no impact on CPU utilization.
If I could do it fast enough, the windows laptop has a decent mobile gpu
But I kinda want to do it in a VM, and i'd rather pass through the coral than suck up the cpu cycles on the box from the other vm's
