Mini PC Recommendations (UK) – Frigate + HA

Hello,

I'm in search of some guidance, additionally to the many already existing helpful threads, from which I still have doubts (i'm a bit thick when it comes to this, sorry!)

I am new to this world and intend to set up HA+Frigate on a mini PC at home, to run a Reolink 2K PoE doorbell, plus 2X Reolink CX410 cameras. an LLM could be an idea in the future, as perhaps an additional camera or two. I'd want to avoid a Coral but rather rely on OpenVINO, as it sounds more futureproof (from what I've read against the TPU).

I see/read many mixed things about how capable a N100 or N150 build with 16GB would perform in similar scenarios. Some make me belief that it'd be more than sufficient.. some others not. I'm considering options from AliExpress, as haven't been lucky in finding decently priced used ones here in the UK.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

AdGuard Home or keep on each device?

Hey :)

First post here as am considering AdGuard Home. I'm buying my first home, in which I'll set up some things like HomeAssistant for automations and Frigate as an NVR on a N100 mini PC.

I've been using AdGuard on my devices for years, having lifetime licenses I purchased a long time ago. I'm now wondering if it's worth setting up AdGuard Home, whether it brings any advantages against using it per device and if there's any caveats to keep in consideration.

Any advice is appreciated.

Afternoon :)

I’m after good value end of tenancy clean recommendations that hopefully won’t cost have a deposit, as a few quotes I’ve gotten have considerably exceeded my budget (£350-ish)

Not sure my expectations aren’t right here, but £500 for a day of cleaning seems excessive to me for a 2-bed house.

If someone knows anyone or a good reasonably priced company that could help, I’d immensely appreciate it!
