Depending on what you're trying to do you might not need it. A popular option for object detection people use with their home hosted video surveillance (using Frigate and Home Assistant) is the Coral TPU and Raspberry Pi or some decommissioned thin client.

Google Coral seems abandoned by Google. Not official but last news on their page from May 2022

  I've heard from the folks at Pineboard[1] there's been some new activity, as this year manufacturing ramped back up... it's still decent hardware but is getting long in the tooth. Regarding the Hailo featured in the article, a few of us have been messing with it on a Raspberry Pi 5[2], and it offers more performance in a similar power envelope. The major downside is availability. I can buy the Coral on many electronics supplier sites, but Hailo seems to be selling through 'Product inquiry' right now, which is not easy to navigate as an individual!

    Any good write up on Hailo and similar ? BTW, is it possible to have 10 of these connected to a single board/cpu ?

      Maybe not 10 but in principle it’s possible: https://www.lannerinc.com/products/edge-ai-appliance/deep-learning-accelerators/falcon-h8 https://www.lannerinc.com/products/edge-ai-appliance/deep-le...

      Yes, using something insane like https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/cards_m2/alftel-12x-pcie-m2-carrier-board.html https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/cards_m2/alftel-12x-pcie-m2-c...

I did consider the Intel Neural Compute Stick to accelerate with OpenVINO but they're discontinued and it turns out I can get away with doing fewer detections (birds, not people) by doing a pre-filter of motion detection (reduces the number of frames through OpenCV's DNN by 10x).
