Are there enough PI4 resources for such a system?

Question

Raspberry Pi

There are several action cameras (go pro) and a local network. I want to build a server based on pi4, where the image from the cameras will be broadcast and then send this image to the external network (+ be able to write to m2 ssd from any camera in parallel).

The first point is that gopro streams only via rtmp (i.e., in theory, it will be necessary to raise an rtmp server on raspberries), and I need the output from the server via SRT in HEVC (in extreme cases, rtmp + hevc).

The second point, regarding the load on the raspberry, will there be enough resources of the raspberry itself for streaming + possible video recording, for example, from three sources, or is it necessary to distribute the load between several boards, or look for another solution?

Am I digging in the right direction? I would appreciate any advice and additional information. Thanks

Answer 1

I think that with a raspberry you will still get into a mess somewhere - if not at the initial stage, then probably later.
Personally, I have raised more than once video surveillance based on Intel Nuc minicomputers - even an inexpensive model with J4005 normally pulled a stream from 10 IPTV cameras at 720p.
In any case, it will be easier for you to work with nukes than to somehow "cluster" raspberries.

Answer 2

Broadcast - probably suspected - save. But with the disks of the raspberry it's stressful. Either USB3 or NFS. But just to show one stream - there are no problems. Drags 4k normally, just don't forget to hang radiators.
