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
Scrypted leverages on camera motion detection and is much less resource intensive than other solutions.
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).
