It would be nice if Frigate supported the NPU in AMD CPUs. Then it could be used for object detection with CCTV cameras.
I love how Frigate is like...the only thing you can use AI processors for. I got a Coral M.2 card and used it for Frigate for like a year and then got bored. Sure, I can have it ID birds, but there's not much more practical use that I found.
You can use object detection to send an alert if there is a person in your yard or if a car pulls into your driveway. It avoids the frequent false alerts you get with normal motion detection.
Yes. I've used it. But security cameras are hardly a killer app.
Correct, for killer functionality to work you have to connect the camera to an automated turret system.
Instructions unclear. Accidentally did science.
