Comment on mITX boards on amazon any good?
non_burglar@lemmy.world 6 days agoYou 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.

They used to encode with h264. I set up a rig 2 years ago with the goal for using that card just couldn’t source cameras at a decent price that use the olde codec. It’s actually pretty difficult to find that anymore. Also, they need to decode streams for processing for things like object detection. That doesn’t work without decoding being done on each stream first.
I am open to being wrong on this I just want to be certain before I get to the spending money stage. Can you show me where you got that information?

I checked the specs on 5 modern, newly released IP cameras. They all use h264/h265, aka AVC1 and HVEC. Not surprising, cause that’s part of the spec.

I’m angrily going to go look because you’ve introduced doubt in my mind. And I don’t like not knowing.
