Machine to run Frigate NVR
(lemmy.ca)
At the moment I've got frigate running on an old dell server through proxmox, writing to drives on that server, but they are shared with a lot of other services.
I'd like to separate it and have a machine that is kinda just acting as a full NVR and writing to it's own drives.
Anybody have any suggestions for one? Are the mini PC's any good or I guess they wouldn't hold enough drives to have plenty of storage.
I just finished swapping to frigate on unraid with a ryzen 3700x from trying eyemotion. I liked eyemotion but have coral support made the choice once I was able to get a coral m-pcie (using with a pcix1 adapter) since the m2s were back order so bad.
I have 3 cameras all which are 1080p 15fps and a doorbell cam which uses a 4:3 ratio. I was averaging around 9-10% cpu per camera. I then added a gtx 1060 6gb and they dropped to 2% or under for cpu and the gpu usage is only 2% gpu and 10% memory.
I’m planning on moving Plex from a standalone box it’s on now to the unraid box since the gpu usage is so low.
