Hi @shred86 , what did you go with, and how is it working out for you? |

Thanks for all the info. It’s really helpful to know.
I have 12 cameras on a Raspberry Pi 4/4GB with USB Coral. With detect using
~VGA 5 fps from camera, it handles everything fine with a load in the 2-4
range (4 core). I want full res clips for all events and full res recording
for 5 cameras, but that is too much for it (load spikes to 20+ and lots of
drops). Full res being 4k at 15fps for these cameras. With frigate stopped,
I can use ffmpeg to copy all RTSP streams at full res with a load of 0.5.
So, it seems like it should be possible to do the low res detect plus full
res clips/record without the system falling over like it does. I’ve been
experimenting with ways to achieve that without spending money, but I might
have to get a more powerful server.

I’m in the market for a new mini PC to replace my current one (AWOW AL34 w/ Intel Celeron N3450) that serves as my home server and I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Beelink GTI (Intel CPU & GPU) or GTR (AMD CPU & GPU). I’m planning on swapping over my M.2 Coral EdgeTPU but in terms of getting the best performance for ffmpeg hardware acceleration, which CPU & GPU combination would be better?
The benchmarks I’ve seen show the Ryzen 3550H and Radeon Vega 8 as both being better performers overall (higher energy consumption too), but I wasn’t sure how that translates to ffmpeg performance for processing video streams. I run a lot of other containers that aren’t very resource intensive, but I’d just like to optimize the hardware for Frigate since that’s the most resource intensive service I’m running right now.
Additionally, if you have any other mini PC recommendations that have at least two M.2 slots, I’d love to hear about those as well. I’ve found a couple mini PCs with removable M.2 wifi cards but most of them sit immediately underneath the M.2 SSD. Doesn’t seem like a smart idea to run an EdgeTPU underneath an SSD, so I’m really looking for mini PCs that have M.2s that are not co-located.
