What hardware and software do you use for home surveillance? (lemmy.crimedad.work)

I'd like to set up three or four cameras on the exterior of my house, but I'm not sure where to start with this project. Ideally, these cameras would get power over Ethernet and record to a hard drive in my house that I could access remotely with a decent user interface. If the system could notify me when movement is detected that would be ideal as well. I don't like the idea of using a Google, Amazon, or similar product because I don't want to pay a subscription and I want to have control of the footage. What are you using that more or less accomplishes what I've described?

I’ve been trying to get Frigate working, on and off, for about eight months now. I’ve got a Debian server but it just won’t detect my Coral TPU inside my Podman container. Since you need such an old version of Python to test the TOU I can’t prove it’s working in the host so I don’t know if the problem’s with the drivers of either my container setup. I vowed to get it working over the Christmas break but it’s still not there.

Are you running podman rootless? Maybe a permission issue?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not rootless but I can see the device, and even in privileged mode it doesn’t work. I’m currently trying to find a docker image I can run as root and prove the Coral is working.

Can you use the coral in any capacity outside of podman? It's been a while, but I seem to recall similar issues, and using a different cable solved my issues. I specifically remember the cable being problematic, but not what the problem was (I'm pretty sure it wasn't because the first cable was a crappy charge-only thing)

If you have a 6th gen or newer Intel CPU you don't need a Coral, you can use OpenVINO instead and it works just as well.
