  • Build a free and open source NVR that's better than most commercial NVR's.
    I used Frigate, a Raspberry Pi, a Coral TPU, and Axzez's Interceptor 1U chassis.
    Axzez sent me the 1U chassis and the required accessories (not including hard drives or the Raspberry Pi) for this build, but they did not pay any money, nor did they have any input into the content in this video.

    As an installer here are my questions;
    A. Can you separate smart activated recording settings from smart activated detections? You may want to always record motion events but you might only want an alert with a specific line-crossing event.
    B. Probably in your next videos, does it have an app?
    BB. Remote viewing options on same network and via a remote location.
    C. Is there a secure way to remote to the device?
    D. Unifi is breaking camera barriers. The specs I like are: 2K cams (nice balance between function and recording time), Non-pigtail so the RJ45 plugs straight to the base, dimensions similar to Ø3.5 x 2.8".
    E. Expansion limitations. What is a realistic number of 2K (4MP) cams for this?
    F. If you could do an overall front end cost and estimate of time to setup with a guide you have.
    G. Long term mgmt for keeping the system updated?
    H. Is DHCP running on the PI or via the primary router? ISP changes out a router, can the system roll with it?
    I hope that helps with some material for the next videos. This super interesting especially for houses and small businesses.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  Před 12 dny +5

      A lot of good questions! A few quick answers (not all):
      A. I believe using Home Assistant, you can do this-I don't know if Frigate has anything built in for that kind of logic.
      B. No official app, but most people use it with Home Assistant, which does have an app (I didn't cover that in this video).
      BB. It has the web UI which exposes individual camera views and a 'birdseye' grid of all cameras. For remote, you'd need to set up some sort of connection like with Twingate, or Wireguard (that's how I do it).
      E. For the CM4, I'd say 4-6 1080p cameras, or 2-3 4K cameras (if recording 24x7, plus motion detect + single coral). For Pi 5 (or future CM5), maybe double that, especially if you have two Corals.
      F. Total cost of my system, cameras included, $1-1.5k. Install (not including running cabling) probably 1-1.5 hours, including software setup. First time will take longer as you're learning how to get Frigate set up for your cameras and your needs.
      G. For updates, so far (only been 6 months in my setup) it's just swapping out a version number in Docker, or running a couple commands to upgrade the Docker container from the old stable version to the latest stable version. Since Docker uses a volume mount for data storage, and in my case, configuration files are also mounted in, as long as the upgrade doesn't require configuration syntax changes, it's quite simple.
      H. DHCP on my router here-but I believe you can set things up on the Pi if you want to have it be its own little router for the cameras. I haven't done that in my setup, at least not yet.

    0:53 "Ignore PEP 668 because it's silly" SO TRUE, it's been such a pain to deal with and in a lot of cases it just doesn't make sense since you'd be doing it for your user and it will not touch rest of the system

    • @SussyBaka-nx4ge
      @SussyBaka-nx4ge Před 15 dny +5

      Installing packages with --user will still break things. Say you have a system installed program X written in Python that depends on library Y. As your user, you install a different version of library Y with pip. This can break program X, because it will see your user's library Y in preference to the system one, and if they are not compatible, X will no longer run, and you may have no idea why and blame the distro or program.
      The problem with PEP 668 is that it uses a wrong solution, not that the problem it identified isn't real. What it should have done is made pip create and run inside a virtualenv by default if externally managed is set to true. Things would just work and the user would not need to know or care about any of this.

      @@SussyBaka-nx4ge that's what pipx is for, and yeah, that is a real problem. However, most of the software I use is not written in Python and does not depend on it, and those that do either don't break with all of the libraries I've installed, or in rare cases when they do (which didn't happen to me in years) would just print out offending library in the traceback for me to figure.

      The only sanctions they're under is from government contracts or entities that receive government funding.
      And the sanctions are a joke. You can go with Hikvision or Dahua and have the hard coded CCP back door in your cameras, or you can go with an NDAA compliant camera and have the NSA hard coded back door in your camera. They don't even try to hide it, you can use an EEPROM dumper to dump the camera firmware and see it all.
      After the initial scare of the US Government "banning" Hikvision and Dahua, most of the supply houses dumped their products like they were cancer, but it wasn't but a year or two after that they started advertising them again, just not NDAA compliant.

    What makes Frigate so good? The AI detection with that Coral TPU. Any NVR will do motion detection, but this takes a snapshot of the motion, feeds it to the AI chip and asks "hey, what's this?" If it's not what you're interested in (person, car, dog, cat) it doesn't record an event. It drastically reduces your false triggers and notification fatigue.
    Frigate can be difficult to begin with (the documentation is ok, but sometimes disorganised), but once you understand what you're doing it's very rewarding.
    The end result is nothing short of incredible. 100% worth the time investment to get it working.
    ...oh, and it's free.

    Really interesting video on DIY devices. As a footnote having the fans being intake rather than exhaust has advantages, you get good flow out passively through holes and the case will be pressurized. This means you can put filters on the fans with only a bit of loss on flow and you'll keep dust out which is important for thermals.

Janky, but it works for now.

    A trick I learned from The Hook Up's channel (which you touch on) is to use the camera substream for detection and 24/7 recording (if you want that) and to then trigger recording the higher quality stream on a detection event in order to improve performance and also reduce storage requirements.
    I'm a little disappointed to see blue "tongues" on the usb ports in that chassis if it only supports USB 2, even if there is no "official standard" for indicating the performance of USB ports. Otherwise it looks like quite a nice rack mount solution for a custom NVR build

    Remote NVR location. If this is going to be used for security footage you may want to relocate the NVR away from the network rack as anyone (breaking in), that knows about NVR's will head straight to the rack to get the NVR/Hard Drives. In my case that was an easy project as the UDM-UNVR and USW-Pro 24 communicate over a Fiber cable. I also took an old broken hard drive and bent all the pins on its back and just put that in the UDM-Pro hard drive bay, so if anyone does get in they will get a hard drive that years ago was fried by a nearby lightning strike on a very old NightOwl NVR.

    17:34 This sounds like an endianness and/or twos-complement bug. The value 127 is the max "signed byte" value.
    0b00000001 = 1

    Fan intake tends to break surface tension, so can pull more heat.
    The power supply may exhaust, so would tend to not contribute to case heat. So, electronics should run cooler.

    I really like Frigate, been running it for about half a year on a 12600K with QSV and a M.2 Coral TPU. Only issue is that I seem to experience some sort of memory leak, possibly related to go2rtc that I couldn't solve yet. But Debian seems to cap it at about 15,5 GB, so about half a GB below maximum memory capacity so I'll live with that.

  • @concinnus
    @concinnus Před 15 dny +2

    If the fans were set as exhaust, they'd pull air mostly from nearby vent holes, which wouldn't really do much. With them as intake the airflow over the CM4 will be higher. You can see the flow disparity in the Feynman sprinkler.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  Před 15 dny +1

      Interesting... I think I might do some testing, get temperatures over a day or so, flip the fans, and do it again, to see if it makes much difference in this setup.

    Was always told you should pull in cold air from the front and push out hot air from the back of the case whilst pumping cold air in the bottom and pulling hot air out the top of the rack, that way you're not killing your hard drives with heat or cooking yourself when you're working at the front on the node

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  Před 15 dny +3

      Yeah, typically only some routers and networking equipment is configured to exhaust out the front, as they are sometimes installed in the back of a rack.
      Though for small-business-focused rackmount enclosures, it's the wild west. Many small switches have side-mount fans (though I often see them used for exhaust, rather than intake!). Definitely need to watch thermals on this box.

    I've not been very successful with DIY NVRs and generic Cameras for many years. I've been almost successful with Milestone XProtect Express+ (not open source, but free version up to 8 cams) and RTSP-enabled cameras. But my wi-fi cameras (various brands) had terrible connection reliability.
    In my new home, I went full Unifi and never looked back.
    I love the alternatives that Jeff presented here. For DIY NVR project, that may or may not work as intended (in my case, with my old cameras, it probably wouldn't) this doesn't seem like a cheap alternative, but it's very interesting nonetheless.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  Před 15 dny +2

      Unifi is a great option, especially if you're in that ecosystem. Most things 'just work' and they have good quality (for usually a little higher price, but that's what you pay for!).
      WiFi is always a bit of a problem with cameras, I have had a lot of little issues with Ring, SimpliSafe, and Nest cams over WiFi, so I've replaced all but a few now with PoE wired cams, which are like 99.999% reliable compared to maybe 98% on the WiFi cameras (they always seem to fail when you actually need them, too...).

    Hi Jeff.
    Linux Mounting Tip:
    chattr +i /mnt/whatever
    And then mount the device.
    After that it is impossible to write to /mnt/whatever, until the device is mounted.
    I use that for all additional mounted devices.

  • @xorlop

    Hey Jeff, just some tips for your set up.
    1. You could try moving your secrets into a .env file and reference them in your .yaml config instead of having them raw. This allows you to publish your setup and save it somewhere publicly without worrying.
    2. I think there is more robust way to reference your drives by going to dev -> disk -> by UUID, which makes your drives referenced by their hardware identifier. It would suck to have your set up fail on reboot!

  • @semmu93

    nice video, i am also doing something very similar at my parent's house. one recommendation tho: i would suggest to also create a LUKS encrypted device between the mdadm block device and the filesystem on it, so you dont have to worry about stolen data or when you decommission the drives and it ends up god knows where, etc. it just gives me a peace of mind knowing that all the data on the hard drive is unreadable for everyone else, no matter what happens with the disk. and since it uses hardware encryption it has basically no overhead.
    also you plan to put the TPU within the enclosure, right? it looks a bit silly as the only thing attached to it externally via a cable :D

    for good measure, since you didn’t buy those cameras and open them new, you really should if you haven’t already, download the official latest firmware and refresh those cameras. You never know these days if anyone did anything nefarious or even just potentially updated them an unofficial firmware that’s compromised.
