Frigate

  • Published on
    I use Frigate for real-time object detection with a Google Coral Edge TPU and as my Network Video Recorder (NVR) However, storing just a week's worth of footage from my cameras requires about 2TB of space of space on my NAS. While a NAS offers an economical storage option, accessing footage stored on HDDs over a network introduces latency. This lag noticeably impacts the performance of Frigate's UI, especially when playing back recent clips. The ideal setup would store recent footage on an SSD for quick access, while using a HDD NAS for older recordings. However, Frigate's limitation of supporting only a single mount point means this has to be solved outside of Frigate.
