No worries @BartButenaers, we are all your fans!!
Aah i was only joking (sarcasm) - i think you started from the wrong place with Frigate. I think you would be far better off with the Google TPU on USB to ensure CPU utilisation stays low.
The main thing is to make sure that the detection is done on the lower frame rate.
Remeber as well - this is all in docker - so very easy to blow it away and start again with a new pull and a new CFG in YAML

Thank you, Bart, for this thread. I instantly bought a Coral TPU and am very satisfied with the frigate solution (in my case under UnRAID) in contrast to the former solution with motion.
Much to optimize, but it works so far.
