So I have about 30 Cameras I want to run on my instance. Step by step all of them will record their videos on a local sd card and I will only watch the stream over HA (no hardware nvr). How can I set this up so my phone/laptop will not struggle at all loading these streams?

Right now I am playing them using onvif and or fmpeg and all of my hardware starts to lag heavily when I open the camera sites.

The streams are split up over 3 pages so it's 13/10/7 Streams each.

You can use OpenVINO now on Frigate and get the same/better performance as a Coral, worth checking out.

Whoa, hadn't heard about that. It's all software?

I don't really need what Coral offers, I was just gonna do it for fun....but if I could do it without buying more hardware, that's even better!

Technically it runs in the CPU iGPU hardware accelerator I believe, but as long as you have a 6th gen or newer Intel CPU you don't need a Coral.

Hmmm that's not that recent of a chip, I can probably make that work without breaking the bank!

Thanks again for the heads up, I wasn't looking forward to having multiple USB devices on my rack so this will be great

Yeah you can grab a ready to go dell usff box on eBay with a 7th gen for about $80.
