Hi friend, it’s surprisingly easy to jump into. Zorin OS is a great place to start, or bazzite

Don’t be too worried about how it works, none of it is permanent, you can always reinstall windows if things go tits-up

thats the one set in japan right?

2 methods

home assistant (installed on mini pc thru proxmox) via the tapo: camera controls integration

frigate(installed on a dsm 7.2 synology) via go2rtc (mini pc)

also i’ve set my routers firewall settings so all the wifi cameras can only see eachother (and the mini pc)

edit: oh and tailscale

i have 5 tapo cameras because they’re cheap and work well in HA and frigate and they aren’t allowed on the internet and only communicate with the app during onboarding and…

okay i’ll get rid of them
