Frigate for software. Add a Coral to your computer (they come in M.2, Mini PCIe, even USB) to handle the object detection. Configuration is slightly complex, but the documentation is very good.
I'm using a couple of Amcrest cameras which I have on a VLAN that can't access the internet, so no spying from the manufacturer.
I also added a hard drive specifically for the recording. It stores a ton of days worth of footage and Frigate handles deleting old footage to make room for new. I figure that hard drive will probably fail sooner than my other drives which is why I got one just for that.
+1 for Frigate, because it's fantastic.
But don't bother on an essentially depreciated google product, and skip the coral.
The devs have added the same functionality on the GPU side, and if you've got a gpu (and, well, you do, because OpenVino supports intel iGPUs) just use that instead and save the money on a coral for something more useful.
In my case, I've both used a coral AND openvino on a coffee lake igpu, and uh, if anything, the igpu was about 20% faster inference times.
Oh interesting. How fast things change. I've only been using Frigate for around a year and I'm already behind the times.
If you have a 6th gen or newer Intel CPU you don't need a Coral, you can use OpenVINO instead and it works just as well.
