Best Surveillance Operating System? Program?

[CrustStation]

I have a home server that I want to install a *virtual machine* on that with a dedicated NIC and hard drive to run my security cameras. I do not want and do not want to mess with any docker containers right now and just want a good piece of software for this. If it means installing linux on a VM and then installing security software, so be it. I really want to use Frigate but it'll only install via Docker and the built-in HomeAssistant version is garbage.

Spin up a Linux VM, and instal docker on that? And pass the dedicated NIC through to that…?

 

Assuming you want the dedicated NIC for network segmentation (could just use vlans….), but if that’s the goal, this would work, and would then let you run frigate with the physical network segmentation your looking for. 

Besides that, blue iris maybe?
