# Frigate with Hailo for object detection on a Raspberry Pi

**[Jeff Geerling](https://daily.dev/sources/jeffgeerling)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A practical guide to setting up Frigate NVR with a Hailo AI coprocessor on a Raspberry Pi 5 for hardware-accelerated object detection. Covers the basic installation steps, a common CPU-fallback misconfiguration warning, and a specific PCIe `force_desc_page_size` fix needed to resolve a HailoRT runtime error. The Hailo-8L in the $70 AI HAT+ achieves ~12ms inference at low CPU usage and is noted as a cheaper alternative to the discontinued Google Coral TPU.
