Comment on Thingino: Open-Source Firmware for IP Cameras

Comments

Anyone has recommendations for open source self host video recorder and processor?

Frigate has been ok for me when paired with a gpu or tpu for to speed up the object recognition features. It's the closest I've found to the usual IP camera cloud sold by the IP camera manufacturers.

That said, it's installation method uses containers, which I could do without. Configuring it can feel a bit fiddly depending on the hardware you have, but that's likely to be the case with most NVR systems that support a wide variety of setups.

I used Marius’ Portainer guides for both Frigate[1] and iSpy Agent DVR (not OSS)[2].

I haven’t been able to get Frigate to see the garden eufy cam yet but iSpy worked right away with the same credentials.

I’ll choose my next cameras based on the Thingino supported list. Thank you to everyone working on this project!

I'll probably just connect this into home assistant
