[Help] Frigate and security cameras in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's great to hear. I will have the exact same usage you say (jellyfin transcodes, camera decoding and openvino). Thanks for the info!

I might try this then. How do you run openvino, is it included in the docker container, or is it external?

My frigate box is a PC which only has one ethernet port, so I should buy a separate network card in order to do that, right? I was thinking of buying a 2.5gb card anyways.

I could do that, but I don't know if the iGPU of my i7 8700 is good enough. Even then, if it means taking load off my CPU I think it would be worth it.

[Help] Frigate and security cameras (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions about Frigate and security cameras, and I thought this would be a good place to ask.

I’m new to security cameras and Frigate, so please excuse any basic questions I might have.

I have a PC at home with an i7-8700 CPU running Proxmox, where I plan to install Frigate in an LXC container for device passthrough.

I came across this Amcrest camera on Amazon: Amcrest IP5M-B1276EW-AI. Since Amcrest is recommended, I assume it should work well, but I’d like to confirm before purchasing. If you have any camera recommendations in the $60 range, I’d appreciate them.

I also read that having dual network interfaces is recommended. My router doesn’t support creating new subnets (I don't know if that would be a problem), and my PC currently has only one network interface. My initial plan was to get a PoE switch and connect the cameras and the router to it, but would getting a separate PCIe network card, and then connect my PC to the switch instead of the router work for creating a separate, internet-less network?

Lastly, I understand that using a Coral accelerator is highly recommended. I’m deciding between the $25 PCIe version and the $60 USB version. Does Frigate benefit from the more expensive USB Coral, or is the $25 PCIe version sufficient? My motherboard is a Gigabyte B365M DS3H, in case that’s relevant.

Thanks in advance for your help!

How do you make Linux more popular? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, I do. In fact I've installed Linux on 4 classmate's laptops, after insisting for some time.

I've Installed multiple Linux Distros on my Editing Rig to see how well Davinci Resolve Studio works. Here are the results. in c/[email protected]

all you had to do, was enabling rpm fusion cj

What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I wish more apps where officially supported, instead of saying it supports Linux and providing a .deb. Good thing the community provides unofficial flatpaks at least.

[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo. in c/[email protected]

I understand your perspective but the steps you mentioned are what you'd expect when installing an os. Even windows 11 would require you to turn on TPM which, for some, might be a super painful experience.

AMD VSR / NVIDIA DSR Alternative for Linux? (sopuli.xyz)
 

On windows when I had NVIDIA I used DSR to be able to select 1440p and 4k in game. Is there something similar where I can render games at higher resolutions and downscale to native? I have an AMD card rx 6700 xt and I'm using Sway (wayland).

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me in c/[email protected]
