This isn’t specifically Home Assistant, but so many people seem to be using Frigate with Home Assistant it feels close enough.

I recently got my first camera. I tried ZoneMinder for a while, but have given up - just overwhelmed with false positives for fog, rain, insects etc. and not being able to tune them out. Most people seem to be going Frigate so I’ll give that a go.

I don’t really want to use a USB TPU (no real reason) and my current server has no Mini PCIe or M.2 slots. I recall seeing people say they had bad experiences with PCIe M.2 adapters.

Does anyone here have any experience to share about any specific adapter?

    Since there is no real reason, why no reevaluate?

    I connected my USB TPU to a spare internal USB 3.0 header and mounted it inside the case. Frigate has been working perfectly fine for years.

    I also use quite a few PCIe M.2 adapters but only for SSDs. No complaints here, full transfer speed and reliable. No reason why it shouldn’t work for TPUs.
