I guess that frigate should work on smaller previews? What kind of stream do both of You have now?
Power consumption should be important thing to consider with 24/7 stuff, bsp kernel idles at 1.5W, edge at about 4W, but this may be not that important when cpu has some constant workload. For sure hardware acceleration/npu should help with those, especially face detection. I’m curious how much this will take power for those tasks.
OS or user issues
I am not afraid about power consumption, my unraid server eats too much anyway.
Thisnis my config:
3x 2k live previewnand low res streams dor frigate AI detection which is only set to test that it is working, I nead reconfigure it anyway
Hey I’m having a very similar issue I think, I put it here: Rock 5 ITX+ Crashing
Basically Frigate in a Docker container on Rock 5 ITX+, two 2K RTSP streams, and it just randomly locks up if I use RKNPU. I’ve tried vendor image, and Joshua Riek’s Ubuntu image, but it happens with both. No output on screen or UART, I just have to power cycle it.
It works perfectly fine if I comment out all the RKNN stuff so it’s 100% CPU, but as soon as I enable RKNN it starts crashing. Sometimes instantly, sometimes a day later.
Oh for your fan issue, you just need to change the mode in rsetup!
Hopefully we can figure this out! I think next I’m going to try Armbian.
