I feel you brother. I guess you from India. Poverty unfortunately still a thing these days. But all I can say, make yourself a little piggybank for electronics purpose. And start to build your homelab, piece by piece. My first server was an older desktop PC. And as I gradually updated and upgraded my main system, that old PC started to have more stuff in it. Then slowly I started to plan networking expansions! None of my gear are high end, but I tried to buy not the cheapest, but at least the reliable ones on the cheaper side. Good luck on your journey.

There are two things at play here and you mentioned only one of those. You need a good upload speed but a bigger issue is datacap. With multiple cameras uploading it will eat into your allowed capacity. The other option you mentioned i.e. uploading separately in chunks is a better approach. One could filter out the important files and upload selectively. Maybe you can make a video of that.
Because I’m an Apple user, I also have my cameras connected to HomeKit Secure Video as well as Frigate so that gives me cloud CCTV storage, not identical but still a copy
They make a coral tpu that slots into the wifi slot on those ms-01s fyi. I did all four of mine with them and it works fine. Now we just need google to upgrade the coral to 2024 spec from 2019 spec.
@@Jims-Garage the dual is not the a+e key connector needed to work in that slot. At this point I would just wait six months to a year and get a Hailo-8L when it's more readily available in the m.2 format that should slot nicely into that pcie3 X2 third m2 slot and perform at 13 tops vs 4 for the coral with the same power budget.
Not watched yet but you want a local copy and cloud. Local because the burglars have gotten wise and know most home cameras require a cloud subscription service. So they come with wifi jammers.
So how do you make the CPU detectors to use hardware acceleration ? , because I use hardware acceleration for encoding and decoding the video stream , but if I don't use USB tpu for inference the computer uses a lot more energy with movement of a busy road or on a windy day . on my server running frigate and few other tasks like jellyfin etc it runs at about 3-7% , with cpu detection I was getting spikes of upto 30% with movement .
I tried openvino for a while and it worked well not as good as my TPU, it missed some events and had a few few false positives too. To be fair though I didn’t try to tune it
It is, and something that I called out during the video. Limit the share specifically to a folder you require, not a general storage location. You may also wish to mount a copy elsewhere as needed.
Bro, You are doing all the stuff I wanna do,
You are just me, without the poverty and ADHD.
thank you so much,

Hey, are you that famous TV actor? Or that super famous movie actor (Ranveer)? :D
@@LtdJorge i would have been, if it weren't for a single letter, (Rajveer, not Ranveer)
I was thinking the same thing! I love his projects and have similar ideas 💡 on paper 📝… now im going to make them happen.
Thanks for the demo and video. Have a great day. Always great tips and ideas, across the pond LOL
Glad you enjoyed it

Nice, that's a great idea.

Thanks, sadly I have the dual TPU and it wasn't being recognised. I've since moved to the iGPU which I find to be just as good.

@@TheStevenWhiting agree and covered. Thankfully I have wired connections (albeit they could cut the cables - but it's not fort Knox)

Use the iGPU not the CPU for detection, that's the key. Check here for openVINO: docs.frigate.video/configuration/object_detectors/#openvino-detector

Is the 'permanently' connected/mounted link to your Google Drive storage a Ransomware threat surface or not?
It is, and something that I called out during the video. Limit the share specifically to a folder you require, not a general storage location. You may also wish to mount a copy elsewhere as needed.
then there is my lazy ass storing the footage on the SD card inside the camera :D
First I thought that this is sponsor read for some iffy VPN thingy when the "burglar" "visited" your studio! 🤪😏🤔
The first!
All hail the First!
