I'm currently using Shinobi CCTV for my 4 cameras, but the UI is just a bit clunky and the Docker image isn't actively updated

Frigate looks like a good potential replacement, but I don't currently have a Coral TPU so I won't be able to use object detection (too much of a CPU hit spikes the electricity bill)

Is anyone using it for just normal 24/7 recording without object detection?

If so, what's it like? Docs say it records 1 minute segments which is fine for me

It will 'smartly' delete footage if it fills storage, so if that is what your are looking you can test 9999 days and it should just delete oldest. However, I do not recommend filing storage device up to 100%. It is longevity thing.
