Comment on Exploring Options to add NVR

Frigate isn’t a resource hog unless you enable the inference and classification stuff. If you don’t need that, and are only running 2 cameras, it should be fine.
Shinobi is another option without all the advanced junk you may not need though.

Oh awesome, that is great to know. Looks like I should do a little more Frigate research.

Frigate is painful to set up. It won’t just go out and query the onvif capabilities so you have to try and figure out its RTSP url manually and ptz support is primitive. Its low resource and stable once you manage to get it to work.
Blue Iris is much easier and more capable, but uses Windows, and its a resource hog, and its paid. But if you get past that, BI is really good.

I heard blue iris can be run with wine on linux

I tried it a couple years ago and it wasn’t very successful. But maybe that’s changed.
