OK nerdstr:

How do I take surveillance system video streams and feed them into locally hosted AI to detect and identify different types of wildlife, humans, vehicles, etc?

I've been looking at this, and ZoneMinder or Frigate seem to be a starting point.

ZoneMinder appears to be ok but not perfect. I've seen a bunch of flowers being mistaken for a cat at a higher confidence than the actual kid as a human.

Any time with Frigate? I'm still fooling with ZM and learning how things communicate, etc. Frigate looked simpler/easier at first glance.

I only shared an anecdote of a ZM user. Haven't used it myself but the anecdote was very recent.

I used zoneminder around 8 years ago and really hated it. 😬

Yeah, that does seem to be common. Those are the only two I've run across that are FOSS-ish and user-friendly-ish. I figure as I learn them I'll find something better or easier. It's always a slog.
