Swapping Out My Old Camera Detection Setup

The software that looked at my camera pictures and decided whether a person was in them had been outdated for a while. I finally sat down and replaced it with Frigate.

Frigate now runs on my small home server and reports back into Home Assistant, so the camera events land in the same place as the rest of my automations.

A tutorial from another creator saved me a lot of trial and error here, and the setup has been running nicely since.
