I was thinking of setting up a home surveilance system using Frigate, and integrating it with Home Assistant. I’d probably have somewhere on the order of 10-15 1080p 30fps cameras. I’m not sure what components I should get for the server, as I am unsure of the actual processing requirements.
EDIT 1: For some extra information, I did find that Frigate has a recommended hardware page.
Just reporting back that I did the work last night to change the ingestion order for my cameras. I’m now using the
go2rtc
component offrigate
as the first ingestion point. That component is serving a restream to both Frigate and my NAS’ NVR. It’s working much better now, with less frame delay, and less CPU usage on the NAS.
