  • Double-Take not getting enough events/images from Frigate?

  • DeepStack (dead?) vs CompreFace (slow?)
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 7 May 2023
    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).
  • Use CompreFace for Object Detection instead of default

    CompreFace can be used "in addition" via Double-Take but that is additional detection based on frigate object events.
  • The privacy loophole in your doorbell

    Not OP, but I _love_ talking about this stuff, so you're stuck with me. :D

    I'm a big fan of this project:

    https://frigate.video/

    It's open source, and you can hook it up to a Coral (or some other things, I think) to get crazy-fast classifications. But CPU is fine for only a few cameras.

    Once you get something like that setup, it's just a matter of finding cameras that support RTSP. You get them setup however you like (but preferably wired, with PoE), point Frigate at the RTSP stream, and that's it. Now you've got home security footage that never leaves your house. You can set up a VPN to watch the feeds from elsewhere. Frigate supports MQTT as well, so you can hook it into Home Assistant to get notifications, and even pipe person events into something like Double Take to get face detection:

    I purchased this device off eBay the week of July 4th, and willingly paid scalper prices with the idea that I'd spend much of that week learning Frigate, double-take, and DeepStack; turns out, I had the ML-powered facial recognition, alerts and Home Assistant automations up and running in an hour.
  • [P] Facial Recognition with AWS Rekognition or Azure Vision
    7 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 20 Aug 2021
    For face recognition - CompreFace. Disclaimer - I created it, as an alternative you can use MachineBox, but it's not open source and has limits. Also, I think, you will use some software to control the system, e.g. Frigate or Home Assistant, I think this repository can be useful for you.
