CompreFace VS frigate

# https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace/blob/master/docs/Face-services-and-plugins.md)

I looked at Double Take (UI that lets you do the training of your face recondition easily) and found CompreFace as one of models they support. It looks like what I need but there is a catch... no OpenVino (intel CPUs AI accelerator) support. I really like my low power NVR setup and would like keep it that way. Running AI on CPU without acceleration is both power inefficient and much slower. I have a spare low end GPU but if dump it in the system the current AI acceleration brakes... (I know I can prob fix it but that is a rabbit hole I would prefer to avoid).

This has good UI and also good recognition: https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace

wget -q -O tmp.zip 'https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace/releases/download/v1.1.0/CompreFace_1.1.0.zip' && unzip tmp.zip && rm tmp.zip

https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace/ Is already a good locally-run API for face detection and facial recognition. Thankyou for your suggestion.

If you are looking for open source stuff and are able to self-host it, maybe have a look at CompreFace.

As almost always, on GitHub https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace

Looking into this I found Compreface (https://exadel.com/solutions/compreface/) an open source face recognition software. There are alread some controb scripts, like contrib/photils.lua, who take some images, run them through a tool, then tag them with data coming from the tool. Converting this to use Compreface looks likea promising avenue.

Am in to selfhosting and homeserver, finally got to try Frigate with some aliexpress camera that was not mine. Love it.

However, I have had success using IP Camera app with Frigate. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam https://frigate.video/

Frigate https://frigate.video/ and ZoneMinder https://zoneminder.com/ come to mind. Blue Iris https://blueirissoftware.com/ is not open source but is what I prefer to use for my PoE systems ($80/yr)

Engineering implies working within constraints. Most people in this realm only have to deal with the spouse acceptance factor as a limiter.

Went from openhab -> homeassistant -> Node-RED. Then sprinkle in MySensors, Frigate, and Double-Take, but not on just the entrance, go for the perimeter then defense in depth.

I have found my frigate+ model to be much more accurate and crazy good even at night. Will be curious how things change when it snows here more often, since I've not submitted any examples of winter at this house yet.

According to the author of that PR, they're using 10% of 1 NPU core on 3 cameras: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/pull/8382#issueco...

The bottleneck instead will probably be the video stream decoding speed, especially as the SoC's hardware decoder isn't being used yet.
