Cost. But I do not agree with ‘Whi would i pay for a service when i could host it myself for free?’

It is not ‘free’ it is cheaper. Today I got a quote from utilities company saying that api access to how much heat I use is 20 EUR/month a software defined radio recover is 20-40 USD + shipping. To do a full setup and research it takes about half of day some exiting HW and electricity but even summing all of that up. It is cheaper and utils company has already lied to me at least twice this year, so… their stacking motivation for me to independetly monitor the metering.

It is cool that it exists but in EU we use qualified electronic signatures eIDAS that has cryptographic identification verification and national governments provides ability to sign documents using that protocol.

Signing pieces of paper is still a thing but emulating it digitally looks a little strange to me.

This is cute but I have to be honest I prefer using VS code with SSH and docker plugins for managing compose files.

6 hours ago I was sleeping :D

It will ‘smartly’ delete footage if it fills storage, so if that is what your are looking you can test 9999 days and it should just delete oldest. However, I do not recommend filing storage device up to 100%. It is longevity thing.

Frigate gives you a lot of fine tune control on the detection, so with aggressive filtering you could have very limited object detection (for cases when somebody very close to it i.e. trying to peal of the camera).

I would also suggest enabling audio detection if you cameras have mics in them. Audio detection needs a negligible amounts of processing. Fire alarm audio detection should be on by default. You can add things like breaking glass as extra triggers.

Not enabling detection should work for you but to retain video records you would have to setup config globally or for individual cams:

    record:
  enabled: true
  retain:
    days: 10
    mode: all

I would run both or if your cameras can not handle doubling streams just setup a demo in parallels on one of the cams, so you can test it.

I also find https://github.com/bairhys/prometheus-frigate-exporter very useful for longer term performance tuning.

I got hooked by Youtube videos from TechnoTim Christian Lempa and others. Videos include screen capture what they are doing so it bridges some things that may be missing from text guide because it may be ‘obvious’ if you are doing it all the time.

I keep to principal that I have two ‘sections’ in my lab ‘production’ and ‘testing’ Testing I am mucking about testing stuff it works and production has some stuff that I rely on.

Not sure… the problem may be inherent to VPN and P2P protocol implementation.

However, I saw an alternative Android client for ZT. It was built to have a couple of extra features not sure how secure or how reliable it is.
