I've now managed to get the stream of my HiWatch Series, model HWI- T641H-Z 2.8-12 mm by accessing via browser to rtsp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.30.50:554/Streaming/Channels/101. Working nice. But on its own, very unusful unless I get storage and image detection going. So, I need something like Frigate.

I believe the Frigate docs suggest running in a docker container installed on a VM. Very convienient as I have Proxmox (installed on a optiples 7070 micropc with 32MB ram) running a VM on which i have a few containers. The idea is to mount a "frigate" dataset created on my Truenas server on Proxmox which is then mounted to the VM. Lots of layers but hoping it should be ok.

I heard that the Google Coral TPU is not sold anymore. Is this going to be a problem for Frigate image recognition? Are there alternatives to the Coral TPU?

IMO, they have nothing over BI, and as I said, the UX is very weird. I tried it again maybe 6 months ago when I needed to renew BI and it wasn't winning me over.
