What it can do (approx)
- Frigate: ~25 cameras at 5 fps detection.
- Plex/Jellyfin: ~12 concurrent 1080p transcodes.
- Local LLM: up to ~8B (Q4).
Where it fits
Needs a box with a PCIe slot and enough power - most mini PCs can't take it, so plan a DIY build (a case + a real PSU).
8GB 128-bit cut of the RTX 3060 - NVENC and TensorRT with room for ~7-8B LLMs; the 12GB version has more headroom.
