Hardware to run 30 Cameras ? (lemmy.world)

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 don't need a coral anymore since Frigate supports OpenVINO on 6th gen or newer Intel CPUs. It also supports using QSV for any decoding/encoding that needs to happen.

Frigate uses RTSP for the camera connection.

Okay, but does this (or the coral or whatever) make the delivery of 30 (or just 10) simultaneous streams any smoother than just the straight stream from webrtc in homeassistant?

No, it's just for object recognition to classify recordings.
