Running linux mint 21 on old 2008 power mac as dvr security cam server - working great except this thing puts out sooome heat 24/7…
I'm not familiar with security cam DVRs, does it really need that much CPU power?
Running ispy within docker - yes, multiple streams of HD - 4K video displaying all and monitoring all for motion 24/7 and recording on motion detect + ispy uses AI motion detection and analysis e.g. 'person'... (more cpu...)
Was running the exact same prior on old dell laptop E6430, it couldn't keep up with displaying 6 cameras @ 10fps each... it displayed with 5-30 second delays. I'm watching realtime on mac pro -
4K security cams? Isn't that overkill? I would think 1080p is plenty. But I don't know what your usecase it. It might be justified.
for simple monitoring, you're correct. When you need to see the license plate or face 30' away from the extreme wide angle of a 4K camera, the increased resolution supports enlarging to a clear image. When was the last time you saw a clear cctv single image.?.
Makes sense.
