What NVR Do You Run? (alien.top)

Looking to change up my blue iris install to something more free. I’m going to be recording my house, my mother’s house and my in laws house all using tailscale. I planned on using frigate, even bought a Coral TPU for the human detection and a better motion detection. (At least I think it makes it better?) But not sure if this changed, I saw that frigate and TOU doesn’t do well in a VM (proxmox for me).

So two things:

  1. Curious what you run/suggest
  2. If you run frigate on a vm with a coral, how did pass through work?

Total between all houses, I’ll have 14 cameras recording off the bat, might add a few more over the years. I also have a gpu to handle the encoding and plenty of storage. Their upload speeds are ok too and my download speeds can handle it.

Thanks!

I am running Zoneminder. I have played with Frigate and it is not really production ready. And Zoneminder, while not fancy, works every time and has some of the best still pictures of anything out there. I will keep looking at the next new thing, but I am not shutting off Zoneminder until something is solidly batter.

    I been using zoneminder for over a decade now and inertia is such a thing.

    I wouldn't recommend it to my friends, maybe techie friends, but it is so hard to configure.

    I am about upgrade to a new ZM based on Rocky 9.

    I do run 40 monitors, I use substreams and link to the main stream. Home assistant had sensors that can trigger alerts, wrote my own front end to quickly move from scene to scene and to accommodate more than 6 monitors.

    I still have yet to master capturing video outdoors. It misses some stuff, but I have a backup video on other systems.

    Also would like to look at some of the ML stuff.

    I am going to reduce the amount of cameras though. After 10 years it is time to get rid of the BNC cameras.

    I hear ya, but some of the new stuff is worse! It will get better, but then there is the next hurdle; stability. Zoneminder can run for months with no baby sitting... Other stuff, not so much. But I keep watching, and hoping!
