How to Сonfigure the Hardware Tab Settings?

Select the hardware type:

Select the CPU hardware type to run the analytics processing on the central processor.
Select the GPU hardware type to run the analytics processing on the graphics processor.

The analytics is processed faster by the GPU than by the CPU.

Select the decoding type. Depending on the type of decoding, the video is processed on different devices:

CPU selection provides video decoding on the central processor.
Intel selection provides video decoding on the Intel Integrated Graphics Processor (Intel HD Graphics).
NVDEC selection provides video decoding on the NVIDIA graphics processor.

The FPS mode allows to set the number of frames per second processed by the analytics:

A higher frame rate gives a better result if the video contains dynamic objects (e.g. the people flow in a shopping center or the vehicle traffic on the road).
A lower frame rate is sufficient if the video contains static objects (e.g. vehicles in a parking lot).

The higher the frame rate, the more resources are required for analytics to process the video.

The Key Frame mode selects only keyframes from the video stream. Keyframes have the lowest compression ratio, which saves resources for decoding and processing the video stream by the analytics.

Suitable for video streams with compression (e.g. h264, h265, etc.).

The Once Every X Seconds mode processes 1 frame after a set period of time, while the remaining frames are skipped.

Suitable for cases where very rare frame processing (less than 1 frame per second) is required.
