I only use frigate on a single camera and it’s ok. If I was doing more then my NAS supports an M2 coral. Would have bought one but there was a massive waiting list and now I’ve lost interest.
My QNAP NAS drive. As well as storing all my media I also have various containers running all sorts… My Home Assistant instance, MQTT broker, ESPHome, zigbee2mqtt, Frigate, and Emby to name a few. It does so much for something so small and cheap to run.
Yep I know. I just found it to be poorer quality. Emby is much more polished.
People should try emby instead. I find it the best of the 3 main contenders.
Honestly it just works and works well. I had all sorts of issues with Plex with subtitles not working and weird transcoding issues where red blocks would randomly appear. Also I found Plex kinda ugly tbh. I tried Jellyfin and it seemed a bit ‘hacky’ but this was a few years ago so maybe it’s improved but I currently have no reason to try it again. If you’re using Plex/Jellyfin/Emby you are most likely pirating media so worrying about GPL violations is probably not top of the list.
