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.

    I haven’t setup Frigate myself yet so I’m not sure on the specifics but yeah that’s the idea! You don’t need the tpu for it to work but I plan on getting some because… They’re very cool lol. You’d need several to cover 30 cameras, though - I believe they recommend one for every 4 cameras.

    But yeah, a cheap thin client will work. The minimum specs for frigate are surprisingly low
