I’ve got a project in mind I’d like to test with the community before going ok deep on.
I’d like to put together a face-recognising NVR closely tied to homeassistant. I’m thinking of using an RPi4 with a coral attached. Then installing docker and including the following:
- frigate
- doubletake
- compreface (unless others recommend a better detector?)
I have an MQTT server in HA but also wondering if it makes sense to have a local MQTT server for the NVR.
As usual, I’m working on the edge of what I know, so any suggestions/comments on things that might trip me up would be warmly welcomed.
I use frigate on a separate PC that’s several years old that I snagged from work surplus. You can find a similar one on eBay or woot. When I started, Frigate is a resource hog on a pi. MQTT on the pi as a HA addon is plenty.
Doubletake looks pretty cool! I’ll add it to my Ubuntu PC and see how it works with frigate.
