A self-hosted CCTV system with machine vision, built on Frigate.

Architecture
Still being built. Screens come once it's further along; for now, this is how it's put together.
What's Included
- Detects people, bicycles, cars, motorcycles and buses
- Continuous and motion recording, alerts and snapshots with their own retention
- One connection per camera, restreamed to detection, recording and live view
- Events over MQTT for other services
- Simulated cameras: sample videos served as RTSP
- Next: real cameras, a GPU or OpenVINO detector and alert services
The Problem
Plain CCTV records everything and someone has to watch it. This one detects what matters, keeps it by type, and puts the events on MQTT so alerts can be built on top, all on hardware at home.
