Doorbell Camera / NVR (post Unifi) (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Hi all, my Unifi Doorbell just died after only 4 years of service. I've been pretty disheartened with them lately, other products haven't lived up to the company's promise.

So I'm not looking to replace my networking stack yet, but I am looking for a doorbell camera. I only have the Unifi machine, but I also have an extensive docker/kubernetes stack, and mostly I want to use it with Home Assistant.

Any recommendations? Open to software, hardware, you name it. I have a few other Unifi cameras too, if they could be brought into the fold while I slowly migrate, I'd be interested. Thanks!

Once you set up Frigate, you'll never want to go back. I also use Frigate with Reolink cameras. I use two Coral tpu for recognition, personally, but similarly have a fiber connection to my NAS from my server with frigate.

I have the Coral dual tpu module and have an adapter coming that will allow me to use two of them for a total of 4 modules, paired with an ARC A310 for video decoding.

The only bad thing about the Google Coral is that Google has stopped development and archived the driver so one you get to a certain linux kernel version you will have issues unless you switch from the official version. https://lemmy.world/post/46390410

If I didn't already have the Coral I would probably go with the Hailo 8. I'm going to use the ARC A310 for detection on a couple streams and the Coral for the rest since the detection is more basic.

Yeah. I'm hoping that the new support for YOLOv9 extends the life of Coral. If not, I have a B50 that I'd probably use for it.
