i added a Google AI chip in my Home Server…

Setting up Frigate NVR on my Unraid NAS with some local AI detection! Google Coral TPU provides; "…a complete platform for accelerating neural networks on embedded devices." For me I'll be using it to take a huge load off my CPU as my CPU honestly can't even handle my camera setup.

Nice to see that someone is actually using my plugin. :)
Cool video!
I think I have to add the device paths to the plugin...

TechHut: I want to use Frigate! Checks documentation... Frickit! Use an adapter.

Ooo perfect timing. I just had a test run of Frigate last week, detection and recording work great with OpenVINO and Intel iGPU. Might do the actual install and Home Assistant integration this weekend. Fun!

Corals are friggin ancient. I tossed mine in the ewaste bin a few months back.

Great vid. Looking to set Frigate up at some point soon and it's always nice to actually see someone going through the steps. Just an FYI: it's frig-it, not frig-gate.

Interesting. I would love to see a video on other things these little accelerators can do since I don’t currently need to run frigate.

[soupborsh]

Can it be used for local llms or image generation?

[slckkllr]

Sorry Brandon but I've got to say it- *inference* not interface 😅

[alexandermoody]

For clarity am I correct that the coral chips run at 8bit so there may be a few lost bits when using?

My AMD APU offers 50 TOPs already. This little thing 4 TOPs only. Am I right?

[IgorL-rvmn]

I need something like that to run videos through to monitor actions and add boxes to say record every floor where it only records when people touch a button to call an elevator

[zedtrek]

I'm using that for about 6 months to replace Blue Iris, all good. Do anyone know any other project that can use the coral device?

[CarlTheHaitian]

Could you share where to get the Dual TPU Adapter please?

[hectorsotomayor]

Im confused, so what is this good for ???

[damolin]

Great video Brandon. your voice sound very different in this video.

[AlonsoVPR]

Anyone else having random crashes on frigate?, I'm using it with docker and it crashes my whole server :/

[atrisk]

Off topic but are you a tiny person ? Or is it just the camera angle everything looks huge next to you and when your holding things ? 😜 I’m not trying to be nasty or anything I just need to know.

[WXSTANG]

You wish it was the easiest part? It was the easiest part. haha

[大支爺]

Super Computer? Lol
What about VS 7900XTX, and 4090 on FP8 FP16 and FP32?

[Alan_Gor_Forester]

I'm waiting for a video on how to use this.
