homebridge-unifi-protect VS frigate

For several years I've been relying on an authentication mechanism with my main UDM (v3.1.16) that relies on the X-CSRF-Token header returned when doing a GET request directly to the UDM's IP address, as per the instructions found here (https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect/blob/main/docs/ProtectAPI.md).

Nice suggestions using relays as. Alternatively, if you can use a Protect Chime (may require multiple as they are not very loud) - https://eu.store.ui.com/collections/unifi-accessories/products/smart-chime or if you are feeling adventurous, you can use existing smart speakers as chimes with a Home Assistant (https://johnzanussi.com/posts/unifi-g4-doorbell-chime-with-sonos) or Homebridge integration (https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect).

I also have only HSV cameras or Ubiquiti ones for this reason. Everything I care about is stored on-site or in the cloud with end-to-end encryption, no privacy or surveillance state enablement concerns.

There's a great HomeBridge plugin which enables HomeKit Secure Video on my UniFi Protect cameras: https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect

Which Homebridge Unifi Protect plugin did you try? This one worked well for me, but I eventually got tired of maintaining 2 camera systems and gave up on HKSV. My wife actually prefers the Unifi Protect app anyway since it has continuous history and a decent UI- so why bother with HK?

For the plug-in ? There’s the repository.

How does scrypted compare to https://github.com/hjdhjd/homebridge-unifi-protect ? This works pretty well but does have some delays loading cams at times.

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.
