"400+ FPS classification and incredibly easy to set up and use... as long as you use it as your friendly Google Overlords intend you to use it. The software is frustratingly locked down. Decompiling binaries will get you nowhere, because the magic sauce seems trapped in the device itself. Wait no, I mean I never tried doing that, it's against the EULA terms, and I'm no terrorist. Huh? Who are you? How did you get in my house?! Please, no! I don't want to go to software jail! Yikes ok, I will, but please just stop hurting me! AAAaaaaaarrghh......"

So happy that I bought this. My cloud services are no longer needed because this Coral USB TPU offloads my CPU with AI image recognition. All the software I'm using is free open source. The Coral USB TPU plugs into a Beelink mini PC S13 N150 that's running a standalone HAOS Home Assistant Operating System using the Frigate NVR Add On. By adding a couple of lines of YAML in the Frigate configuration, the image recognition task is now handled by this Coral TPU. It has a blue LED, steady ON dim means it's ready, then brightens up while crunching data. I watched youtube " Coral AI Person Detection with Home Assistant & Frigate" and asked ChatGPT for detailed help. Frigate is now capturing video shots and snippets of objects that I'm interested in and ignores the rest. In my case it captures and tracks people, cars, motorcycles, dogs, cats, and bicycles.

Works immediately with Frigate NVR software and WhosAtMyFeeder, running on an older Lenovo SFF PC with Debian 12. Nerdy fun!

This cheap little device runs circles around my old GTX970 I had been using until then. I just have it plugged in to a USB C port and it does its job.
