Move ReoLink camera plan to completed, update changelog
Plan verified and marked complete with all checklist items checked (except IoT VLAN isolation which is a separate plan). Updated open questions with resolved decisions. Updated changelog fragment to reflect full scope of deployment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Deploy Frigate NVR stack: Frigate for camera recording/detection, Mosquitto MQTT broker, Ntfy for push notifications, and frigate-notify for detection alerting. GableCam connected via HTTP-FLV with ONNX CPU detection, NFS recordings on sifaka, and Grafana dashboard.

Deploy cloud-free NVR stack: Frigate 0.16.4 (ARM64) with ONNX/YOLO-NAS-s detection, Mosquitto MQTT broker, Ntfy self-hosted push notifications (with iOS APNs relay), and frigate-notify for detection alerting. GableCam (ReoLink Elite Floodlight) connected via RTSP with NFS recordings on sifaka, Grafana dashboard, Prometheus scraping, Homepage integration, and Caddy reverse proxies at nvr.ops.eblu.me and ntfy.ops.eblu.me.

# Plan: Operationalize ReoLink Camera

> **Status:** Planned (not yet executed)
|

> **Status:** Completed (2026-02-15)
|
||||
> **Depends on:** [[add-unifi-pulumi-stack]] — the camera must be on the IoT VLAN, isolated from the rest of the network.

## Verification Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Camera streams accessible via RTSP from services subnet
|
||||
- [ ] Camera has no internet access (blocked at firewall)
|
||||
- [ ] Frigate pod is running and showing live camera feed in web UI
|
||||
- [ ] Recordings appearing in NFS share on sifaka
|
||||
- [ ] Object detection working (person/vehicle detected in Frigate UI)
|
||||
- [ ] Retention policy active (old recordings cleaned up automatically)
|
||||
- [ ] Alerts firing on detection events
|
||||
- [ ] Prometheus metrics visible in Grafana dashboard
|
||||
- [ ] `mise run services-check` passes

## Open Questions
|
||||
## Open Questions (Resolved)
|
||||
|
||||
- **MQTT broker:** Is there an existing MQTT broker in the cluster, or does one need to be deployed? Mosquitto is lightweight and standard.
|
||||
- **Home Assistant:** Frigate works standalone, but HA adds richer automation (e.g., turn on floodlight when person detected, arm/disarm by time of day). Evaluate whether to add HA as a future plan.
|
||||
- **Sifaka NFS share sizing:** How much space to allocate on the NAS? Start with 2 TB and monitor. The hybrid retention strategy keeps this manageable.
|
||||
- **Additional cameras:** If more cameras are added later, CPU detection may become a bottleneck. At that point, evaluate a Hailo-8L USB accelerator or a dedicated Frigate host (e.g., RPi5).
|
||||
- **Floodlight automation:** The ReoLink HTTP API supports floodlight control. Could be automated to turn on when Frigate detects a person at night — but this requires either HA or a custom script listening to MQTT events.
|
||||
- **MQTT broker:** Deployed Mosquitto (eclipse-mosquitto:2) in the `mqtt` namespace. Lightweight, anonymous access, cluster-internal only (no Caddy/ingress needed since MQTT is TCP, not HTTP).
|
||||
- **Home Assistant:** Deferred. Frigate + frigate-notify + ntfy provides a complete pipeline without HA.
|
||||
- **Sifaka NFS share sizing:** Allocated 2 TB. Hybrid retention (3d continuous, 30d alerts, 14d detections) keeps usage well within bounds.
|
||||
- **Additional cameras:** Using ONNX/YOLO-NAS-s on CPU at ~535ms/frame, ~2 FPS detection. Adequate for single camera. Apple Silicon Detector (ASD) via ZMQ is the next upgrade path for better performance (~15ms via Neural Engine). Requires Frigate 0.17+.
|
||||
- **Floodlight automation:** Deferred to future Home Assistant evaluation.
