I tested frigate on this combination and I must recommend against it. The Raspberry Pi 5 lacks hardware accelerated video encode like it's predecessor the Pi 4. Due to this limitation, a Pi 5 will struggle with more than a few cameras, even with the 26 TOPS Hailo.



I think the decoder is more important than the encoder. The Pi 5 does have a h265 hardware decoder, if your cameras supports that.


Just accelerate it with AI instead! :)
