A Coral is just an AI accelerator, it doesn’t use google services and is not even needed if you don’t want to use it.
Comment on Which FLOSS software for DIY CCTV / video surveillance ?

It is strongly recommended to use a Google Coral. A $60 device will outperform $2000 CPU. Frigate should work with any supported Coral device from coral.ai

Pretty sure the Coral is only for AI detection

If you don’t use object detection, you don’t need a Coral. It can run detection on other hardware, but a SBC won’t have it.

Honestly at that price I think they might be selling the devices near cost.
