Comment on mITX boards on amazon any good?

A cheap N100 or N305 mitx with more ethernet and sata ports already attached is one thing, but I wouldn’t wanna risk warranty hell with more money on the line.
Considering you are gonna add a dgpu I would look at a low tdp desktop cpu such as ryzen 7600/9600 from a trusted store instead.

I want zenarmor and suricata. Intel N series chips cannot handle that. The dGPU is just needed for handling media decode and encode, not actual rendering.

The quicksync built-in to the n100 PR n305 is more than adequate to encode/decode media. If that’s all you’re using it for, you don’t need an Intel arc.

Incorrect. The built in quicksync is adequate for a limited number of simultaneous streams. Considering I PLA for frigate to handle multiple cameras on this machine I will need more streams.

You are mistaken. Frigate ingests rtsp and direct streams using HLS, which only accepts h264 or h265. The vast majority of cameras encode in h264. H264 is a trivial decode operation on modern hardware within the last decade.
I am currently looking at CPU usage in my frigate container with 5 1080p RTSP streams and it is hovering at between 4% and 8%. Without any quicksync configured, just CPU and coral.
I don’t know what your deal is, or why you think you know more than folks who have been doing this for years, but stop, please. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

The Arc actually makes sense here since OP mentioned multiple cameras for Frigate - QuickSync on N100/N305 starts to choke with 5+ simultaneous streams, while Arc A380 can handle 8+ streams with AV1 decode/encode as a bonus.

I have 5x1080 streams to my frigate container and it only has a coral tpu passed through, 4 to 8% CPU usage in the container. The arc will not yield any advantage unless op is using vino to run the ml, but they pointed out that they are getting a coral tpu.

I never recommended the Intel N chips though. :)

I have Zenarmor and Suricarta running on my Topton N100 and it works fine. But the machine only has OPNsense on it.
