There are many different hardware options for object detection depending on priorities and available hardware. See [the recommended hardware page](./hardware.md#detectors) for more specifics on what hardware is recommended for object detection.
### Storage
Storage is an important consideration when planning a new installation. To get a more precise estimate of your storage requirements, you can use an IP camera storage calculator. Websites like [IPConfigure Storage Calculator](https://calculator.ipconfigure.com/) can help you determine the necessary disk space based on your camera settings.
### CPU
Frigate requires a CPU with AVX instructions. Most modern CPUs (post-2011) support AVX, but it is generally absent in low-power or budget-oriented processors, particularly older Intel Pentium, Celeron, and Atom-based chips. Specifically, Intel Celeron and Pentium models prior to the 2020 Tiger Lake generation typically lack AVX.

#### SSDs (Solid State Drives)
SSDs are an excellent choice for Frigate, offering high speed and responsiveness. The older concern that SSDs would quickly "wear out" from constant video recording is largely no longer valid for modern consumer and enterprise-grade SSDs.

- **Basic Minimum: 4GB RAM**: This is generally sufficient for a very basic Frigate setup with a few cameras and a dedicated object detection accelerator, without running any enrichments. Performance might be tight, especially with higher resolution streams or numerous detections.
- **Minimum for Enrichments: 8GB RAM**: If you plan to utilize Frigate's enrichment features (e.g., facial recognition, license plate recognition, or other AI models that run alongside standard object detection), 8GB of RAM should be considered the minimum. Enrichments require additional memory to load and process their respective models and data.
- **Recommended: 16GB RAM**: For most users, especially those with many cameras (8+) or who plan to heavily leverage enrichments, 16GB of RAM is highly recommended. This provides ample headroom for smooth operation, reduces the likelihood of swapping to disk (which can impact performance), and allows for future expansion.
