That’s a great project, thanks for your work. I even have a couple of cameras around the house that look like they should work with this. Do you have any suggestions for an open NVR to pair with cameras running this firmware?

There are easily 50 different NVR applications out there. They differentiate themselves based on processing and analysis versus supported platforms.

Frigate is a reasonably immature project but it is getting better with each release. Blue Iris is adored but it does have a Windows requirement so that might disqualify it for you.

Yes I’m aware. But the whole point of this open firmware afaiu is that is enables use of the existing on-chip AI features for these particular cameras. Which means that something like Frigate - which focuses on running such AI features separately on, e.g., a coral accelerator - might not be a good fit. That’s why I sought the maintainer’s opinion.
