Hoped to investigate this with my dev board at some point. In the meantime, added a warning for others who may experience it when upgrading to the new stable release.

By default, Frigate will use a single CPU detector. If you have a Coral, you will need to configure your detector devices in the config file. When using multiple detectors, they run in dedicated processes, but pull from a common queue of requested detections across all cameras.
Frigate supports edgetpu
and cpu
as detector types. The device value should be specified according to the Documentation for the TensorFlow Lite Python API.
Note: There is no support for Nvidia GPUs to perform object detection with tensorflow. It can be used for ffmpeg decoding, but not object detection.

When using CPU detectors, you can add a CPU detector per camera. Adding more detectors than the number of cameras should not improve performance.
