Will frigate work on my thin client (AMD G-Series GX-212JC))?

[Tobster77]

What is your question:

I use a thin client type HP 520 with 8GB RAM and an AMD G-Series GX-212JC dual core processor (with AVX), running Home Assistant with about 5% CPU load and 15% RAM usage. Will it be capable for frigate, at least for motion-triggered recording of one or two cameras? Will there maybe be enough CPU capacity for human being detection, or is this not realistic?

Thanks for your estimates...

CPU based detection is not recommended in any setup, frigate supports a lot of different hardware accelerated object detection options. For just motion based detection, I think that would work alright for ~4 cameras

Thank you. As this is an older SoC with embedded graphics, the GPU cababilities will be very limited, see here. I assume the only hardware acceleration possible would be buying a Coral USB extension?

[NickM-27]

there are two types of hardware acceleration and both are highly recommended. Hardware accelerated video decoding and object detection. A coral helps on the object detection side

Okay. As the CPU was introduced in 2014, I would hope it is compatible with the Radeon 2000 driver (LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi). Is this worth a try?

[Tobster77]

Sadly, I run frigate as a Home Assistant add-on. So no radeonsi driver, right?

correct
