frigate VS bi-aidetection

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.

I run Blue Iris with https://github.com/VorlonCD/bi-aidetection (getting very long since the last update, but still works great) and am very happy with it and am using DeepQuest AI's latest Windows release rather than Docker. I have 14 cameras going to a VM running it all with 24/7 low res recording and event triggered high res recording. I have MQTT reporting of events to Home Assistant for notifications and Blue Iris handles all the actual video pieces. The hardest part is finding decent RTSP cameras that don't re-stream from the cloud. I've got a mix of Amcrest, Reolink, and Unifi. The older Amcrest seem to work best, but the Unifi ones (once you get past the restream from the local UMD bit) are really good as well and provide a nice double layer for notification if I ever want it. I've been running this setup for just a little over 3 years now and the only real complaint I have is about the Reolink cameras. I have them working, but do not recommend them at all.

This is a thread that discusses a technique for analyzing still images coming out of Blue Iris using DeepStack initially and later DeepQuestAI. Between those three links you should be able to get going.

The easiest way to think of it is a camera aimed at a driveway. You are probably interested in people and cars in a driveway. Since DeepStack doesn't know which part of the frame has motion, it will alert on a parked car in the frame even if something else triggered the motion. Dynamic masking will automatically apply an "ignore" mask on an object that has remained stationary for several frames and it will keep it ignored until it moves again. This allows you to enable alerts for cars and people, and only get alerted when a new car arrives in the driveway, or an existing parked car moves. This is the fork of AI_Tool that I use to accomplish this: https://github.com/VorlonCD/bi-aidetection/releases

I think what you are asking for came from this project: GitHub - VorlonCD/bi-aidetection: Alarm system for Blue Iris based on Artificial Intelligence.
