Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Getting attention from LTT is big, we already knew it was big - anyhow congrats /u/blackbear85!!
BTW Linus just always has to go big doesn't he? 16 friggin TPUs, NOICE!
Who bets we see this monstrosity + a Pi CM4 in 9-12 months time.. /s
He is going to be disappointed when frigate stops detecting him when he falls asleep on the couch.
For non frigate users: as of now frigate will only detect objects/people when they move. So its really not a whole lot better than PIR motion sensors for this stuff, it wont be able to tell you if a room is empty or if someone is sitting still.
god damnit as if these weren't scarce enough already.
solid video though.
I have Frigate and LOVE IT. I tried Blue Iris and it just felt bloated and slow to me. Frigate on the other hand is crazy performant. I'm still a relative HomeAssistant and Docker newbie, but I found it to pretty easy to setup. And it's by far my favorite HA automation. Here's what I have setup:
I have two Amcrest 4K cameras setup on my driveway and front porch, feeding a old PC I bought off Ebay running Frigate within a Docker container. I bought a Coral AI USB dongle to add to the mix. You don't need any of this crazy stuff Linus was showing off. It cost ~$60.00
When someone enters my front yard or driveway Frigate immediately detects it. Using NodeRed I kick off an automation that lights up my cool steampunk light as Alexa tell me "A person was detected in the driveway"
I didn't know about these facial recognition apps. Definitely very cool, am more inclined to try the USB HW acceleration device rather than the card due to the price though. Need to do some research to see how much that is actually capable of.
Remind me in 2023 when it looks like we might get these in Australia :( price might have come down from 4 figures by then.

Seems like that is a pretty common sense way of determining if a room is occupied.
I have thought about doing this, but putting cameras in kids room, especially girls, is a massive moral query... even if you assure everyone that you don't have access to view them
Wow, I didn't know how much more EdgeTPUs the PCI variety offers compared to a USB. Pretty cool Linus is doing vids about these though.
