stop trusting cloud cameras!! (here's what I use instead)

The cool thing about frigate is you can buy whatever security cameras you want with an asterisk.

And we'll talk about that here in a second, but I bought these super cheap cameras, like 56 bucks a piece.

They're real link E one pros.

And I bought all of these.

I mean,

how

awesome is that? Then I created a weird problem for myself.

I deployed so many cameras.

It destroyed my wireless network.

We'll get to that here in a moment.

I did solve it, I think.

But the reason I did that is cuz I was going to Romania to visit well, bit defender and Romania is kind of far.

And I wanted to keep an eye on my family while it was gone.

I didn't have time to run cable.

I'm like, I'm gonna set up a quick surveillance system, wireless, and I'll use a Raspberry Pi as my frigate server, which you can totally do.

And with two cameras, it actually works incredibly well.

Enough talking about it.

Let me show you how to do it right now.

First, what are you gonna need? Where's my pen? We're gonna draw this out.

My raspberry PI just yelled at me.

I'm sorry.

The first thing you'll need is a server.

Don't let that word scare you.

A server can be something as small as a raspberry PI or a spare laptop, really anything that can run a Docker container, because that's how we're gonna install frigate a Docker container on a Linux server.

Next you'll need some cameras.
