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.

Make sure your RPI4 is 64-bit, mine was a 32 bit arm and had a numpy version error preventing it from starting. The frigate devs basically said it only supports 64 bit moving forward.

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.

I use frigate on a separate PC that's several years old that I snagged from work surplus. You can find a similar one on eBay or woot. When I started, Frigate is a resource hog on a pi. MQTT on the pi as a HA addon is plenty.

Doubletake looks pretty cool! I'll add it to my Ubuntu PC and see how it works with frigate.
