My CPU apparently won’t run Frigate because it doesn’t have the right instruction set.
What is the minimum desktop CPU that will run Frigate acceptably with 10 4mbs cameras?
I’m aware that a Frigate fork exist that supports older CPU, but I’m looking at alternatives.
You should provide details of what you have and errors you getting.
I have an all in one that can’t be upgraded, only replaced, and the errors are addressed in another thread. I’d like to keep that separate from this if it’s all the same.
From the link:
Anything with an Intel CPU and capable of running Debian should work fine.
Raspberry pi runs frigate
Pretty much anything will work. Coral is highly recommended
From your other thread, something with AVX is needed.
This isn’t the frigate forum by the way.
I’m trying to run Frigate on HA, and it’s not use if I go to the frigate forum and someone tells me to buy a system that won’t run HA.
Hence why I posted this question.
Do you know the minimum desktop cpu that would run frigate with 10 camera?
I’m looking for a desktop CPU rather than a board with an integrated one.
that’s not really accurate, many frigate users run home assistant and we are very happy to make recommendations.
If you had a venn diagram of the CPUs that can run HA vs CPUs that can run frigate; frigate would be a smaller circle inside HA. Anything that can run frigate can run HA pretty much. In your case I would suggest an Intel CPU 6th generation or newer with an integrated GPU as that supports OpenVINO and you would not need a coral.
Its not that black and white. As previously stated, you need AVX support. Depending on the model year that could be as low as an Atom or Celeron/Pentium. The older the model, the higher up the line needed.
Look up the CPU your considering here: How to Know If My Intel® Processor Supports Intel® Advanced....
As for the number of streams, assuming you want recognition, your better off investing in a good GPU or a Coral unit. A 1ghz Celeron with a Coral USB might perforn better than an 5ghz Core series. See https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/detectors/.
Is there a Frigate forum on the HA community site?
No there isn’t.
I sent you the wikipedia page that tells you what cpus have avx. Read it, decide, buy, profit.
Basically any x86_64 cpu made in the last 12 years. But you have the list now.
Why not post the details on this site, then they will show up on a search engine?
You havent posted yet your hardware specs.
My current system isn’t upgradable, the components are soldered.
Look here for some good recommendations of hardware to use. Other than that any PC from recent decade is likely OK and anything else is budget/use/preference specific
OK, this is getting a little frustrating.
I’m not clear on what the requirements are, or what all of them even mean.
I’d never even heard of AVX until this week and I’d wager that the majority of people on this forum don’t know what it is.
The same basic things are called by different names for Intel and AMD chips, and jumping from version 1 to version 2 of something can effectively change it completely.
Some of the names also change between generations of chips.
So, posting a link to a gazillion possible CPU isn’t much help, neither does telling me to “Google it”, because I don’t understand which bits of information are relevant and which aren’t.
I’d just like someone to say “buy an I3-3220”, I’ve been using one for years and it’s great, they’re dirt cheap on ebay".
I am not going to copy and paste an entire wikipedia page just because you are too bloody lazy to click a link.
