Cameras

Cameras that output H.264 video and AAC audio will offer the most compatibility with all features of Frigate and HomeAssistant. It is also helpful if your camera supports multiple substreams to allow different resolutions to be used for detection, streaming, clips, and recordings without re-encoding.

Computer

Name Inference Speed Notes
Atomic Pi 16ms Good option for a dedicated low power board with a small number of cameras. Can leverage Intel QuickSync for stream decoding.
Intel NUC NUC7i3BNK 8-10ms Great performance. Can handle many cameras at 5fps depending on typical amounts of motion.
BMAX B2 Plus 10-12ms Good balance of performance and cost. Also capable of running many other services at the same time as frigate.
Minisforum GK41 9-10ms Great alternative to a NUC with dual Gigabit NICs. Easily handles several 1080p cameras.
Raspberry Pi 3B (32bit) 60ms Can handle a small number of cameras, but the detection speeds are slow due to USB 2.0.
Raspberry Pi 4 (32bit) 15-20ms Can handle a small number of cameras. The 2GB version runs fine.
Raspberry Pi 4 (64bit) 10-15ms Can handle a small number of cameras. The 2GB version runs fine.
