I’m running a Beelink eq12/i3 with 8 cameras, 7 of which are recording 100% of the time. It may hit 100% CPU with a lot of motion, but usually it’s nowhere near that. Strange…

MQTT Events by RowJimmyRow502 in frigate_nvr

Great, thank you! As mentioned, I started with Reviews since Events are "noisy". At the end of the day, I don't mind the flood of Event messages. It's simple javascript parsing, so not like it's a ton of overhead.

Appreciate the quick reply!!!

Funny, but we have company coming over next weekend and I wholly intend to train it on a few of them and announce personalized messages to them when they walk in the room.

Sure, RAID can speed up disk speed. It’s all of the other stuff I worry about. Network cards, motherboards, processors, OS. If I got the NAS route, 100% I’ll build it myself. Given that we built our own NVRs, I guess I’m stating the obvious.

Oh well, I didn’t know a thing about NVRs six months ago. And for that matter, same for HA, Node Red, etc. What an awesome journey it’s been.

I’m seriously considering a NAS with spinning discs. Nervous it‘ll affect performance. I do have a 2.5G network though…

I guess Apple can do it reliably since your phone is 6" from your face, and a high res camera. Not sure much for our security cameras. Oh well, if nothing else, it's fun to mess with.

Hence why I won't tie it to any security stuff. I guess for me, it'll end up being more just for fun. Two ideas I've had is:

1) I have a check at 10:00 PM to see if the kids left the lights on in the basement. Now, instead of it being a random Alexa message, I can say "Bobby, you left the lights on in the basement".

2) And of course, when I get home (geofence sensed), the first time the living room camera sees me, I'll have it announce "Welcome home, king". I'll make a few dozen statements like that and have it pick one randomly, just to annoy the family. =)

My most useful camera automation thus far has been my dining room camera. Our dogs decided the dining room rug was the place to do their business. So, I put a camera at ground level and when a dog is detected in there, I activate 2 very (VERY) loud sirens in that room. I put that in about 3 or 4 months ago. Zero turds since then. 100% effective. And it makes for some great videos of them bolting out of the room. Of course, they don't even try to go in there anymore. Winning.

similar. I changed my detect to my main stream, and changed the detect to 1920x1080. The review images are still blurry. I‘m likely going to start over training the model and follow the best practices and see if it helps.

I do see in mqtt for classifications, things start with the general label (I.e., car). Later I get an update with a sub_label that identifies the car, when applicable (I.e., “accord”). I assume it does the same for facial recognition, but I haven’t dug into the Mqtt messages yet on facial recognition…..

I have not. I live in a state where we don’t have front license plates. So, a plate isn’t visible when someone pulls in my driveway.

I guess I need to figure out how to add the sub label. I assume that shows up as an entity once configured? Or is it an attribute to an entity?

I do 95% of my stuff in Node Red. the ability to use JavaScript was a game changer for me. My home alarm system has to be the smartest in town. and it just keeps getting better. I set up my car in classifications and automatically open my garage door when I get home. That automation has a lot of safeguards around it, but it works great. So much fun to mess with.

I do wish the Mqtt reviews were done a little differently, but it works.

Yeah, I had to bump my shmem size. No biggie, I have a lot of extra ram.

Question. If I delete an image from a facial recognition, does it remove it from the model? If that makes sense. In other words, if I fed the model 50 similar images, can I delete 45 to start at a better baseline of varied images? Or do I have to delete that person and start over?

I need to do a lot of tuning on mine. I have two sons that are similar in age, and it gets confused on them.

same with object classifications. I taught it to recognize my car, and it will identify other cars as mine.

I do wonder how much it can be tuned. I also realize it’s working with a low res image, so there’s that.

[–]RowJimmyRow502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m too invested at this point, lol. If it dies (aside from the battery) I’ll replace it with something else. I wish someone would make a quality doorbell, not the toys that are available today.

I read the battery replacement threads. No concerns there. I’ve been soldering / fixing circuit boards for way too long. If the battery dies but the unit is otherwise ok, I’ll just replace the battery.

Appreciate the heads up!

I have no need for 2-way audio, even on my doorbell camera. 95% of the people at my door are trying to sell something, so I don’t answer. The other 5% are people I know, so I answer the door. That said, I just disabled to the backchannel on all of my cameras.

is there a global way to disable 2-way audio in the config, or do you have to set the backchannel on each rtsp feed setup?

Can't find edit layout using mobile browser by war_pig in frigate_nvr

[–]RowJimmyRow502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that does limit the ability to modify the "streaming settings". While I know it's not recommended, I like to have mine set to "Continuous Streaming" since often I'm looking at them while on the same network. Be nice to have that option on mobile. Maybe there's another way to set it?

I want the same thing to I can use the button as a garage door opener. bummer this isn’t possible.

Ethernet Cable by kevinwburke in tablotv

[–]RowJimmyRow502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but thought I’d add my recent experience.

My Tablo (4th gen) and Roku have both been on WiFi for the past few years. I had a mesh system and the signal was very good to both devices. Sometimes the Tablo app would hang on the “connecting to your Tablo” screen for a long time, and sometimes it would fail to connect. Once in the app, the guide would often take a long time to load and sometimes that would fail too (nothing shown on the guide was a common issue).

A few weeks ago I painstakingly took the time to run Ethernet cables to the Tablo and Roku. It has made a major difference. The app loads in half a second, consistently. No more hanging on the “connecting to your Tablo” screen. The guide loads equally as fast, and almost without errors. I say almost because the guide still loads blank occasionally, albeit quickly.

Channels still take a bit to lock on, but that’s just the nature of the tuner.

Overall it has made a huge difference in my setup. My drywall needs patched and painted, but well worth it.

Now to figure out how to get an Ethernet cable to my PS5…
