I don’t believe video professional equates to security professional. Would not expect someone who is a video professional to know NVR but at the same time if you don’t know what an NVR is I would not expect someone to be using this software. The entry point into this space is an NVR.

“incredibly common initialism, used by not just people in the industry, but also by consumers”

Consumers are a wide range of people. 99 percent who have never heard

NVR is a niche term for a tiny number of people in a tiny industry.

Niche term yes but if you don’t know what an NVR is you probably don’t want to go down the road of Frigate. It is a lot more common than you might think these are traditionally deployed in most small biz.

I don’t believe video professional equates to security professional.

Just stop. You're wrong, you're defending an indefensible point, and even if you "win," there's no upside for you.

Signed, someone else who's interested in this field and in Frigate in particular, and who had no idea what "NVR" stood for.

Sorry you took offense. I believe in a thread about initialism that some forms are expected based on the nature of the content. And specifically in this case, I am not sure what a video professional has to do with someone who works in security. So no I don’t need to stop and to be frank if you don’t know what a NVR is Frigate is most likely not a great solution but it also might be and you will learn a lot!

Are you involved with the Frigate project, personally?
