Comment on Ring calls off partnership with police surveillance provider Flock Safety

Frigate is a open source solution that’ll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn’t atrocious. And you’d need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.

I think Frigate also works well with standard video cards nowadays?

Yes, that’s the capacity I’m using it in. I don’t have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.

Yeah I’m using it on a low power Intel NUC, the cheap quad core one, with a USB coral. It’s insane how efficient that is
