![]() ![]() It started running at around 60-65 degrees. I changed 2 cameras to 4K, resulting in 4 4K and 4 1080p cameras. The Intel had been running fairly hot, around 55-56 degrees Celsius at the CPU with that configuration. While I was in the process of replacing the 1080p cameras with other 4K cameras, the M1 mini arrived. I was using the Intel with 8 cameras, 2 of them 4K and 6, 1080p, all with human detection with one also having vehicle detection. Don't think for a second about buying the Intel if you are going to use it for SecuritySpy. ![]() Long story short, M1 is far superior to the Intel machine. This machine replaced the 2018 Mac mini with 3.2 GHz 5-Core Intel i7 with 32 GB RAM (that is the top of the line Intel Mac mini). I have been using an M1 Mac mini with 16 GB RAM for 4 days and I wanted to share my findings. Not a fair comparison, but I’m currently running the same cameras in Blueiris (which only runs on Windows), on an Intel i7 6700 / 8GB RAM machine, and it’s sitting at 80-100% CPU all day long.Īnd forget about viewing all the cameras at once on it, it will def peg it at 100% and render Blueiris unusable. Having two more cameras installed today by my Mobotix installer, but with this performance it will not be an issue. set at 100% just for giggles.ĬPU average is hovering and RAM I have ordered a 16GB model which will not arrive until Jan 4th, so I bought this one to see what the impact would be with the smaller 8GB RAM configuration and so far so good. I am pushing 28 Mobotix cameras at full speed (10 fps limited on the camera end), and H264 qual. Wanting to replace our Blueiris system, so I am trying SS out at our office building on an M1 Mac mini 8GB / 512 SSD that I just bought yesterday, and the performance is incredible. In comparison, the M1's hardware decoding capabilities are a bit lower than the Intel's, but its software capabilities are much higher, and in addition it doesn't have the above limitation, so when doing both hardware+software processing you get the sum of both. The issue with the Intel is that adding software decoding on top of this does not increase performance further - there seems to be some interaction here between software and hardware decoding that prevents this, which is probably a limitation of the chip design. ![]() Its hardware decoding capabilities are provided by Intel's Quick Sync Video module build into the CPU, which is very powerful. If you compare your Intel MacBook Pro against the M1, with hardware-only H.264 or H.265 decoding, I expect that the Intel will provide better performance. You should see that decoding H.265 across both hardware and software is even faster - I'm seeing a throughput of 570 fps, which is fantastic (about the same performance as a 10-core iMac Pro). Please report back with your - yes, these are the results I'm seeing too on the M1 chip. For example, this would be 20 cameras each, 25 cameras each etc. Then, to calculate the maximum number of cameras that your Mac can handle, divide this number by the frame rate at which each camera is streaming. So, for example, you might get a result of 200fps. The tool will then calculate the maximum rate at which your Mac is capable of decoding frames. To test your Mac's internal hardware, disable the Software option and enable the Internal hardware option. The test to run is either the H.264 Decode test or the H.265 Decode test, depending on whether your cameras supply H.264 or H.265 video. The best way to benchmark your Mac is to use our new VideoCodecTest utility. Rather, each Mac has a certain maximum capability for decoding a certain rate of video frames of a certain resolution. So I look forward to some real M1 benchmarks when possible, and I will report back here when I have - there isn't a hard limit of 16 streams. I'm not allowed to provide benchmarks, but I can tell you that the DTK performs well for both decode and encode, and it's likely that the M1 will be significantly better. We will have to see what the real-world performance of these will be - we will get our hands on one in due course, but if any user receives delivery of one in the near future, please get in touch. Yes, it's virtually guaranteed that the M1 will offer high-performance H.264 and H.265 hardware-accelerated video compression and decompression. ![]()
