●●SolidCozySolve My Problem

Frigate NVR native on Mac with Neural Engine detection, no Docker or subscriptions.

Strengths
  • CoreML detector in Rust runs on Neural Engine at ~1ms per-frame on M4.
  • VideoToolbox hardware decode avoids CPU load and keeps fans quiet.
  • $10 one-time payment with no per-camera fees or subscription lock-in.
Weaknesses
  • macOS-only limits audience when Frigate already runs cross-platform via Docker.
  • Still depends on Frigate's core engine, not a standalone implementation.
