    I receive alerts when people are outside my house, using security cameras, Blue Iris, CodeProject AI, Node-RED and Home Assistant, using a Google Coral for local AI. Entirely local - no cloud services apart from Google’s notification system to get notifications to my phone while I’m not home (which most Android apps use). That’s a good use case for AI since it avoids false positives that occur with regular motion detection.

      I’ve been curious about google coral, but their memory is so tiny I’m not sure what kinds of models you can run on them

        A lot of people use them for the use case I described (object detection for security cameras), using either Blue Iris or Frigate. They work pretty well for that use case.

        Wake word detection is a good use case too (eg if you’re making your own smart assistant).

        The Coral site lists a few use cases.
