unifi-protect-video-downloader VS frigate

I use UniFi Protect Video Downloader to accomplish this.

I've had great success with https://github.com/danielfernau/unifi-protect-video-downloader. Downloaded about 9 months of 8hr/day to do a construction timelapse.

I assume you are talking about the Protect video files being limited by the single hard drive in the UDM Pro SE. I have a cloudKey Gen plus so the drive is a 2.5". I put a 4 TB SSD in it which gives me about 30 days. For archival (90+ days) I independently record the RTSP streams to a computer that archives onto a Synology NAS with a couple of 12 TB spinners. It's not rocket science... just a bunch of bash scripts and ffmpeg. For a more professional method would check out this: https://github.com/danielfernau/unifi-protect-video-downloader

Motion events would at least make it function in a act of god event. As is, takes more or less a hack to get that data -> https://github.com/danielfernau/unifi-protect-video-downloader

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.
