What it can do (approx)
- Frigate: ~13 cameras at 5 fps detection.
- Transcode: none - this is an AI detector only; pair it with an iGPU/GPU for Plex.
Where it fits
Built into the CPU - it comes with the box, nothing separate to buy or install. Choose a box whose CPU has it.
On-die NPU (Meteor Lake ~11 TOPS). Frigate via OpenVINO. Free with the box - the rising answer.
Gotchas
- AI-only accelerator - it runs Frigate detection but does NOT transcode video. Pair it with an iGPU/GPU for Plex/Jellyfin.
