  I found a used HP business small form factor i5 6th or 7th gen intel for very cheap, slapped a few SATA drives in the thing, and one of the M.2 Coral TPUs.

  it is running 20-30% CPU load with 6 cameras on it - but they standard HD - I pumped one at 4k, and it loaded up much higher, so I scaled back to all 1080p or less. The TPU doesn’t even hit 1% from what i’ve seen. I should probably load a better TFLite model. Nothing mission critical - mostly a novelty.

  not the most power efficient setup.

  I might violate your top “ideal solution” checkmark, but I have a raspberry pi running Motion Project (https://motion-project.github.io) on site and it makes an easily viewable webpage-stream. My Rpi4 can handle 2-3 video streams, with motion detect-video-save, periodic snapshot, etc. etc.

  Not for the feint of heart, but it is the way I solved a very similar problem.
