Been running Frigate for a while now as a backup to Blueiris.
Most recent version using openvino only on an intel appears to have improved performance and detection especially for small animals like dogs and cats. (night time is still a bit hit and miss though - that's where CPAI with BI comes into play with Yolo)
About ready to give up on BlueIris (with Codeproject) or swap Frigate as my main system for detection. BI great for recording etc but I've removed my old GTX970 GPU due to rising energy costs and the heat it produces. New more efficient cards are just too expensive also.
Got Frigate now running on a tiny lenovo, debian 13 with docker. Simple. Pulls only 11-14w also!
Only downside of a dedicated debian pc is backups and restores.
Any easy way of making compressed backups? Possibly agent Veeam?
