Ahh gotcha, didn’t consider that! I’ll have to make sure my processor is up for the task. I think it will be…I’m doing 4 cameras + doorbell max and buying a NUC
Just make sure they have substreams and get a coral (or GPU) for detection. Then a pi could probably handle it.
I have enough processing to do it all on CPU (8 cams+doorbell) but it ramps up the power usage, so it was better to use the gpu I already had for transcoding, as detection.
Without you can still just record and overwrite. Not that it’s extremely useful without detection and notifications.
I was planning on an Intel CPU that was recommended when I was putting my list together which I was told could handle detection up on to 8 cameras without issue (so I could skip the Coral all together)
Yes, the issue I have with no sub stream (only on the doorbell) is that it uses more processing for detection on such a large resolution.

Handle is much different than efficiently calculate.
Sure, I just figured if it worked well with 8 it would work well with 4 + 1 unoptimized stream. If it doesn’t work, I can just spend $40 on a coral
