Struggle with Frigate config for low CPU usage
Hi
I tried two options so far:
-
Install Frigate on my QNAP-453D NAS (J4125/UHD 600) as container app. The issue is that CPU usage spikes when detection is enabled and I have to set
detector: cpu1: cpu
If I use
detectors:
ov:
type: openvino
device: CPU OR GPU
The Frigate will go into endless crash/reboot
- Install Frigate on my Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850H (Radeon 680M). The miniPC is installed with Windows 11 Pro, then WSL for the Frigate container. I end up with a similar situation where I cannot use the GPU.
I didn't try to install Ubuntu on MiniPC then frigate on Ubuntu for miniPC
I am struggling so much with these two machines, and am unhappy to see a high CPU load, but the GPU load is 0
Can I get some instructions here to get the GPU used to low CPU load?
