Hi Chuck! A Frigate nerd for years and years. You can use your old RTX 2070 instead of buying a Google Coral USB. :) Fully documented in the frigate docs under Hardware Acceleration (tensorRT). Spool up ollama next to frigate, and pipe images into ollama for generative image LLM for snapshot analysis. Very cool! :)

NO WAY you visited Bitdefender!!! I work in the same building, just 4 floors down. If I knew, I would have loved to have a coffee with you. Damn!

I've been waiting, literally, for two years for this channel to cover this topic. With the rise of information coming out about surveillance services spying on it's customers, I didn't want to have one until this guy found a solution. Well done

37:48 thank you. I’m watching you to help me help my wife, last year her sight was taken from her. I’m a paramedic, no IT experience, and you make it simple enough. I’m wanting to give her opportunities to “see” again in a different way. I have big ideas, but also small ones, simple things that would improve her life. I told her about your phone system and she wants it now. First a NAS, then a home assistant, then a phone system, then well hopefully a visor and sensor suite to give her more than her meta glasses. Thank you.
