[Support]: CPU and GPU high when added 1 camera

[wildchai]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi,

I currently have 7 cameras set up in frigate with an inference of ~11ms and CPU (20-40%) and GPU (~20%) usage in the green. But once I add another camera. Both CPU and GPU go red with usage of 65% and 90%. Same camera brand and settings used. And if add the 9th camera, frigate will barely load.

Please advise

It'd be helpful to see a screenshot of the camera metrics page when you add the problematic camera.

i got this from the host:

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-N [UHD Graphics]
DeviceName: Onboard - Video
Kernel driver in use: i915
Kernel modules: i915, xe

Does this mean I have to use i915 driver for frigate? Tried to add this 'LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME: i965' in docker compose with no feed and errors.

[NickM-27]

That's fine, we want to know what version using vainfo

[wildchai]

{"return_code":0,"stderr":"","stdout":"vainfo: VA-API version: 1.22 (libva 2.10.0)\nvainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 24.3.3 ()

is this it?

[NickM-27]

that looks like in the container, we need to see on the host

[wildchai]

not familiar with getting it from proxmox. but found some instructions online.
