I’ve been experimenting with Frigate and the Coral USB Accelerator to improve my security camera setup, and I wanted to share my experience and ask for some advice. While I’ve seen some improvements, I’m still encountering false positives, especially during certain lighting conditions or with reflective surfaces. I’ve included my Frigate config below and would appreciate any insights on whether adjustments are needed to optimize performance.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the Coral accelerator hasn’t completely eliminated the issues I had with my previous setup. I’m curious if others have had similar experiences or if there are specific config tweaks that can help. I’ve also been exploring how to integrate this setup more seamlessly with my Home Assistant environment, which is running in a Proxmox VM. Any tips on optimizing the integration would be fantastic!
Here’s my current Frigate config for reference:

I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully configured Frigate with a Coral accelerator or has tips on reducing false positives. It’s been a great learning experience, and I’m excited to see how I can further refine this setup!
