Hi,
I am using a Rock64 (4GB, SSD via USB) running Debian for my home automation (ioBroker). Additionally I want to use it for video surveillance.
Currently I am trying out motioneye and I am streaming (or trying to) from 2-3 Xiaomi Cams that run the dafang hack. The latter enables the cams to stream via rstp H264. The cams are connected via wifi (Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pros). Both access points ( AC Pros ) and the Rock64 are connected via gigabit lan to my router.
At the moment the whole system is rather unstable and I am trying to figure out why. For a few days I was able to get streams from two cams, but I could not add a third one without motioneye stopping to show any cams. Now that we are back from vacation suddenly I can get only one cam to show up in motioneye. As soon as I add a second, no video is shown.
I guess there could be multiple sources or error:
- Wifi is bad (I was hoping that good hardware like Unifi would counter this)
- Router performance not enough for several streams
- Rock64 hardware (ethernet port) has too little performance
- motioneye software is buggy
Right now I am looking in all directions in order so solve this.
Load on the Rock64 is low after I upgraded to the newest version of motion.
My questions to the community:
1) Has anyone else made any experience using the Rock64 for video surveillance ?
2) Can I rule out some of the sources by running certain tests ?
Best
