Sell a small computer (perhaps a Raspberry Pi) with the right software installed, the Coral accelerator, and several cameras bundled in a package. Make it clear that this is just a sale of hardware, not cloud data storage. It should be as easy as buying a Ring or a Nest, otherwise it will forever just be tech people&amp;#x27;s toys.</text><parent_chain><item><author>l72</author><text>I have several cameras hooked up to an NVR that has 2TB drives for constant recording (when space runs out older recordings are deleted.
