I’ve got a project in mind I’d like to test with the community before going ok deep on.

I’d like to put together a face-recognising NVR closely tied to homeassistant. I’m thinking of using an RPi4 with a coral attached. Then installing docker and including the following:

  • frigate
  • doubletake
  • compreface (unless others recommend a better detector?)

I have an MQTT server in HA but also wondering if it makes sense to have a local MQTT server for the NVR.

As usual, I’m working on the edge of what I know, so any suggestions/comments on things that might trip me up would be warmly welcomed.

    All RPI4s are 64 bit. But do make sure you use 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS! The current standard and default download option is still the 32 bit version.

      Oh! Maybe I just need to reinstall Home Assistant OS then!

      Thanks, I was actually surprised it was 32 bit because I had thought the hardware ought to be 64 bit.
