I know #Frigate can do face recognition. It can do that locally, right? I wouldn't need a cloud AI?
And Frigate does record, correct? (I haven't had hardware to actually have hands on with it)

If I wanted to run #HomeAssistant, as a bare metal #HAOS install, and Frigate installed as a Home Assistant add-on, what hardware specs should I be going with?
I know HA Green just... won't.

@hellomiakoda Yes, it's all processed and recorded locally.

They have a great guide on how to dimension your system depending on the amount of cameras and level of activity you expect to monitor (and also excellent documentation overall):

The one thing you most definitely need is a compatible GPU if you want any of the extra features, like face detection that you mentioned.

Also, I hope you like YAML :)

Choosing the right hardware for your Frigate NVR setup is important for optimal performance and a smooth experience. This guide will walk you through the key considerations, focusing on the number of cameras and the hardware required for efficient object detection.

@antsu @hellomiakoda gpu, npu, or tpu really. I use a usb coral tpu with frigate on an intel N3450 mini-pc, it's not optimal, the mini-pc struggles a bit with frigate but the coral shines
