Reminder that Ultralytics is pushing AGPL in a very overreaching way with their models that's why they are not available in Frigate

What Hacker News says
36 sourcesYour best bet is going to be Raspberry Pi devices:

You can try Googling around for bespoke products but they will almost exclusively come from China and they will be very overpriced due to the soldered RAM.
In Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel featuresI think it's GHSA-4c97-5jmr-8f6x - authentication required prerequisite.
[edit] I'm not sure I'd agree the CIA impact is High, since you already need an admin account.

In Frigate NVR Critical RCE Vulnerability Severity> what I would do with it
I set up one to run Frigate [1] to detect motion over my several security cameras and send me notification emails with still images and video clips attached. It works well, and I hate the idea of sending my private videos to the cloud for processing with usual security camera setups.

In The MiniPC RevolutionIt's AGPL because Ultralytics requires it to use YOLO: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/pull/10717
I'd make it MIT tomorrow if you know a workaround or alternative model

In The surreal joy of having an overprovisioned homelabI’m not sure what’s the most optimal for cost/performance, but a Pi 5 8G + Hailo 8 looks like it will be a good option.

2 points · Open discussionHere are hardware recommendations from another similar (and well established) project: [1] [2]. Even though they don't recommend Reolink cameras, I have both Amcrest and Reolink cameras working well with Frigate for more than a year now.

In Video Surveillance with YOLO+llavaWhat an unexpectedly cool post, I clicked the link thinking it would be "typical dumb", but it ended up being atypically dumb in the greatest way! Fascinating. The author overcame many challenges and wrote about them in a style as if he solved the hardest parts with only a little fiddling. Maybe he's already seasoned in the ML and robotics domains? So much fun to read.
Regarding the Video Object Detection:
Why does inference need to be done via Roboflow SaaS?
...(api_url="https://detect.roboflow.com", api_key="API_KEY")
Is it because the Pi is too underpowered to run a fully on-device solution such as Frigate [0] or DOODS [1]? And presumably a Coral TPU wasn't considered because the author mostly used stuff he happened to have laying around.
Can anyone comment contrasting experience with Roboflow? Does it perform better than Fr

igate and DOODS?
Asking for a friend. I totally don't have announcement speakers throughout my house that I want to say "Mom approaching the property", "Package delivered", "Dog spotted on a walk", "Dog owner spotted not picking up after their beast", and so on. That last one will be tricky to pull off. Ah well :)
