If I didn't have a Home Assistant installation I'd bring up a small virtual machine on my Blue Iris server and pass the USB/PCIE coral device through to the VM and install this coral-pi-rest-server (same underlying code I'm running on my Home Assistant add-on). I bought some PCIE TPUs as well but they haven't shipped yet so I won't be testing this method until next year it seems.
This was about a 10X improvement for me using Google Coral TPU REST API for HASS (coral-pi-rest-server) from Home Assistant (different physical hardware). It seems like native Blue Iris Coral support could shave off even a few more milliseconds.
Interesting thanks for this, also a simpler way might be to run it in a docker container. I found this dockerfile that you could probably use to set it up https://github.com/runningman84/docker-coral-rest-server (you might need to updated to use the latest version of the rest api).
