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.

I know some of these words.

Doesn't frigate need a lot of processing power? I bought a minipc (€160) with a Google coral (€110) for AI image processing. My synology just couldn't handle it. I run all my docker containers on that minipc now. Also Home Assistant, mqtt, zigbee2mqtt, frigate. Some other that I like are immich and vaultwarden.

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.

Awesome. I also waited a while for mine. I have 5 cameras. The coral is widely available now, but instead of €65 for the usb version I paid almost double. Still cheaper then a graphics card that would do the same.
