The surreal joy of having an overprovisioned homelab
Out of curiosity, what features are missing from Frigate⁽¹⁾? I switched to it from ZM a while ago.

Coral USB Accelerator with Google's Edge TPU
FWIW, The M.2 and mini PCIe form factors are more cost effective. I added one to the WiFi+Bluetooth slot on a refurbished Dell desktop to perform object detection in my CCTV NVR.

Show HN: Open-source private home security camera system (end-to-end encryption)
Cameras could be built using a single board computer (like the Raspberry Pi Zero, but there are better and cheaper options) plus a USB camera module, and the necessary firmware that could well be just a simple script invoking ffmpeg or similar streaming software; all Open Source.
For example:
https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product...
https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product...
https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-duo-2/
Then all video can be collected by applications like Shinobi, Zoneminder, Frigate, etc.

The hardest part would probably be making an enclosure that is solid enough to withstand being exposed to sun, rain, temperature deltas etc. and remain sealed to protect the electronics.

Police warn of thieves using WiFi-jamming tech to disarm cameras, alarms
No one has mentioned Frigate. It has taken the "homelab"/selfhosted world by storm & utterly dominates. Open source, works great, & by far some of the most sophisticated detection/triggering schemes one can acquire, period. https://frigate.video/
I have two Hanwha units I never got around to using at my last place. H.265 IP streaming out. Onvif is the main standard everyone seems to use for streaming out.

DIY Smart Doorbell for just $2, no soldering required
Amcrest AD110 doorbell connected to a recycled HP mini-PC (can be had cheaply on Amazon) running Frigate (https://frigate.video/) with a Google Coral accelerator installed in one of the internal slots. The Amcrest doorbell does have a cloud video connection if you want, but I firewalled it off from the internet and use the local RTSP streaming over to Frigate. Frigate talks to my local Home Assistant install too for automation. Also built a little buzzer with an ESP8266 and a simple piezo buzzer that runs ESPHome, which Home Assistant can use to play little sounds for stuff like person at the front door, lightning strikes in the area, etc.

Show HN: I am using AI to drop hats outside my window onto New Yorkers
Is it because the pi is too underpowered to run a fully on-device solution such as Frigate [0] or DOODS [1]? And presumably the author didn't use a Coral TPU because he.. doesn't have one available.
