A home lab enthusiast describes pairing a GPU with a Google Coral Edge TPU to power a self-hosted security system using Frigate NVR. The Coral TPU handles TensorFlow Lite object detection (person, vehicle classification) with high efficiency, while the GPU takes on video decoding and multi-stream processing. The division of labor prevents CPU bottlenecks and results in a more responsive, intelligent surveillance setup without brute-forcing the problem with raw CPU power.
