Ask HN: Self-hosted open source IP security cameras?

I use Frigate (https://frigate.video/) on a rPI for recording and doing person detection for 3 Reolink cameras. Connecting that to HomeAssistant for dashboard and notifications. It works great! I boot the rPI (model 4 with 8gb RAM) from a USB-SSD to not worry about SD-cards. I connected a Coral USB device for the person detection since the rPI itself can only manage about 2 frames/s.

And here's the video that introduced me to Frigate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqDCEZSVeRk&t=1834s

I also forgot to mention that the Reolink cameras are not connected to any cloud and work locally.

Thanks for mentioning this. I had no idea it existed.

I have a bunch of hikvision cameras which are not capable of detecting people which is really all I care about. I don't care about birds or cats. :D
