I recently saw the object detection and got impressed, so i snatched a used google coral. Currently im running all my cams (mostly webcams and cheap chinese proprietary PPPP/V380 cams via proxies into a RPi4 4gb running the latest mEOS (6 cams total) and i would like to migrate over. However i couldnt find a single migration tutorial on youtube or google that covers everything. Is frigate just too small a project so youtubers think there is no demand? Or is frigate just too limited to cover all mEOS functionality?

You should be able to just use whatever input url for each camera you are using in motioneye in frigate. I would suggest looking over the docs especially this https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/installation#raspberry-pi-34 if you are planning to run frigate on a raspberry pi. Your "performance" with frigate will not be as smooth as motioneye on such a device, that I can promise you without a doubt, motioneye was specifically designed to be low overhead where frigate is packed with stuff.

Frigate is a Docker container that can be run on any Docker host including as a HassOS Addon. Note that a Home Assistant Addon is not the same thing as the integration. The integration is required to integrate Frigate into Home Assistant.

Frigate isn't likely to become more lightweight
