Great writeup. I might finally look at moving my Zoneminder setup over to something natively using HA, in combination with blakeblackshear’s real time object detection.
I’m also using Synology to record 24x7 from the cameras. Have you looked at using substreams in HA while recording the main stream in Synology? I’ve been toying with ways to use the substream for analysis and then grab a high resolution video clip from the Synology recordings.
