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:
- Curious what you run/suggest
- 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!

Their licenses are so expensive it’s incredible
It is a one time payment and you can carry it over from device to devices. It is also not locked to a camera. And no monthly fee. After a couple of years you end up saving more if you do not replace a camera. Just the cost of power and spare HDD for when they eventually need replaced.
It’s a trade off – you can use very inexpensive cameras. With something like UniFi you pay for the license with the camera.
