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?

    I’ve tried LazyNVR but I couldn’t figure out how to make it work with my cameras. There seem to be no real instructions. I don’t even get how it’s supposed to find the cameras, there’s no place to put an IP.

      Have you read the readme? There is literally a text config file to fill with the camera info (url of image).

      Feel free to open a ticket on codeberg or DM/PM me for any additional detail.

      Indeed documentation could be better…
