oh man, yeah, dizzying number of ways to configure storage. In my case, here's how I do it (pretty much what @Hetticles listed under option #2): I have an LXC client acting as an NFS/Samba server on the same physical proxmox machine The LXC file server manages my entire disk array and blue iris...

Yeah, absolutely. power, heat, and noise budget are all part of the calculus. Costs are one thing, but noise could be an even bigger dealbreaker for some. Too bad benchmarks don't exist for CPAI. Trying to get a handle on what to expect out of various platforms

Thanks for clarifying. Gotta love those late night purchases! We've all been there. This reminds me all over again that the Dual TPU should be used in dual channel mode in order to use both processing units. An adapter which properly supports the necessary 2x PCIe channels for the Dual TPU to...

Awesome. My board does support birfucation. Do you have first-hand experience with that adapter? I'm wondering if the Dual version of the coral works on it.

Yup. You can do a few combinations. All of which sound like they work for your use case. For example: One GPU for VM(A) and one TPU or GPU for VM(B) One GPU for VM(A) and one TPU or GPU shared for various LXCs (On a separate, but related note, this is further complicated by advances in...

Oh, great question. My topic was intended to be a conversation reference for others in the same boat right now. I was looking around and noticed most of the recommended M.2 to PCIe adapters were in the $30 range and Coral Dual TPUs are now back in stock for $40 ($70 total). Got me wondering if...

I just made this migration several months ago. I will echo everything @Hetticles wrote above. I'll also add that Proxmox is great and really easy to get started, but making sure everything runs optimally can require a lot of time. Some things to consider for planning: You can choose "fat" (full...

Hey ipcamtalk. Sorry if this has been brought up, but things move quickly, so just wanted to get some opinions on the best hardware accelerator options for under $100USD? I was previously looking at coral m.2 since I have one lying around, but it won't work in my current Intel-based system. I...

Hi everyone, I'm using BI alerts to remotely view activities on my phone. The alert images are great, but I'd like to zoom in on the alerts since it's much more helpful to identify things this way. This is mostly working great, but as you can see from the sample below, the framing of the...

good point. I'll post back with results after it comes in after a few weeks

Does anyone know how a Coral Dual Edge might perform against a 3 year old i7 (10700K) for CPAI? It seems things are moving pretty quickly in terms of adding Coral support, despite the old hardware. Thinking of picking one up to test out. Thanks!

Just a quick note to add about removing the original lens and Dahua cams. I've had very good success removing the glue simply by blasting it for 30 seconds with a heat gun. If you don't have a heat gun, a hairdryer will work. It will just take a few minutes instead. Once the glue is warmed...

Appreciate your reply jaydeel. Yes, confirmed that the pathing is correct for $bi_alert_folder_path. EDIT: Actually, now that you mention it, I tried using the UNC path (/server/bi/alerts) instead of the locally mapped path (D:/bi/alerts) and it seems to be working. Thanks!!!

After using this for months with no problems (thanks again @jaydeel !) I've run into a weird edge case problem. For various reasons, I had to reconfigure my blueiris server to use a network share for clip storage. After moving to network share for storage, I noticed GIF files were no longer...

Makes perfect sense. I should have caught that myself; I appreciate your help!! New update works a treat. Awesome work! If time permits, my plan is to write an add-on script or maybe fork yours to work with Home Assistant. My hope is to eventually have more granular control over notifications...
