Hey Guys.

I need your help.

Iam currently searching for a Software for my IP Security cams.

After looking and testing several solutions from here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#video-surveillance I still need your help

-Bluecherry => Meh license costs something

-Frigate => exactly what iam looking for, but i dont use Homeassistant…

-Kerberos => Pretty heavy but pretty good documented + nice Features

-Zoneminder => Looks pretty solid aswell.

Is anyone of you using one of the solutions above and if so, do you like it? And are there Features that are missing / that you dont like.

Iam currently thinking about using either

-Installing Homeassistant and using Frigate

Or

-Go with Kerberos

Thanks for your suggestions

    I ran a small experiment with frigate/go2rtc vs scrypted.
    If all you want is to just have something communicate with say homeassistant or direct to apple-homekit then go2rtc is the bet option (though ugly UI).
    If you want just a 1 stop shop then scrypted is the best solution.
    If you want to have consistent motion/detection then frigate is the best.

    Additionally, scrypted does eay a lot of resources, especially for re-streams, so while it does not have to use it’s own detection/motion models for anything else it’s a resource-hog. The nice thing about go2rtc (which powers the restream for frigate) which is really because it’s written in a low-level language and is distributed via a binary (eats like no ram and very little cpu).
