I started tinkering with frigate and saw the option to use a coral ai device to process the video feeds for object recognition.
So, I started checking a bit more what else could be done with the device, and everything listed in the site is related to human recognition (poses, faces, parts) or voice recognition.
In some part I read stable diffusion or LLMs are not an option since they require a lot of ram which these kind of devices lack.
What other good/interesting uses can these devices have? What are some of your deployed services using these devices for?
They’re a great use for that otherwise useless “Wi-Fi slot” on a wired machine. Not too expensive either. So if you’re using your iGPU to transcode videos, it won’t interfere with your Frigate or Immich workload. And they’re supposed to be energy efficient too.
