I'm looking into self hosted and open source nvr options and frigate looks like the right fit for me. I'm curious what hardware others are running it on and how many cameras they have. How many people are running it in home assistsnt?

I found a used HP business small form factor i5 6th or 7th gen intel for very cheap, slapped a few SATA drives in the thing, and one of the M.2 Coral TPUs.

it is running 20-30% CPU load with 6 cameras on it - but they standard HD - I pumped one at 4k, and it loaded up much higher, so I scaled back to all 1080p or less. The TPU doesn't even hit 1% from what i've seen. I should probably load a better TFLite model. Nothing mission critical - mostly a novelty.

not the most power efficient setup.
