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 have 4 ethernet cameras feeding into Frigate inside HAOS. HAOS is running in a Proxmox VM with 4 cores, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage and an m.2 Coral TPU passed through.

The host machine is a Lenovo m910q with an i7-6700T processor that pulls about 35w, 32GB RAM and 1 TB NVMe.

Frigate is set to retain clips for 5 days, after which they are deleted. I have a Samba Backup job that runs every night and retains 10 days of backups.

With this setup, disk space never exceeds 50%, and CPU usage never exceeds 35%.

What resolution are your clips that you have 500gb of video from 10 days.

[–] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Clips are 1080p, and total storage for the entire VM is 128gb, not 1TB. Total disk usage for the HAOS VM does not exceed 64GB for clips retained for 10 days.

Oh I must have misread. That makes much more sense.

[–] zerodawn@leaf.dance 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So in your case the vm is HAOS and Frigate is running inside that?

[–] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, that's correct.
