I'm running Deepstack on the same PC as BI. When I review the log, I'm seeing average response times for DS processing around 2,500ms. Is that typical?
What's a good Deepstack processing time?

I get on average 600ms set on medium, my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and all my cameras are using hardware decode.
Thanks for the reply. I have a 9-year-old PC which probably explains my DS processing time.

I should have added that when I was running the CPU version detection times ranged from ~250 all the way up to 2000+ milliseconds and wasn't very reliable. It has rarely missed using the GPU version.
Kind of like this?

I wonder if I could upgrade it with a graphics card? Need to do a little research. Could be better to just find another PC on eBay that already has one in it.

You'd need an NVidia card specifically. Right now they're pretty expensive due to chip shortages and bitcoin style mining. The mining aspect is dropping off, though, so used cards may come down considerably in the near future. The GT970 uses about 10-15 watts running with DS processing on it.

I’m not sure a single number is a useful for comparison. As I’ll show below, it hides a lot detail. We‘re probably better off using a lower bound.
For apples-to-apples comparisons I think you need to specify not only the DS version (cpu/gpu), but also if you’ve enabled/disabled these settings - for each camera - you are reporting:
Some of you might be interested in the following charts I‘ve made by extracting data from the Blue Iris logfile for ONE of my cameras over the past 4-5 days. In this example, all data points are CONFIRMED. Deepstack is disabled at night for this camera.
This analysis could be performed using Microsoft Excel. I’ve automated it using a custom PHP script and the Google Charts API.

- Default object detection
- Facial recognition
- Custom models; if so, which ones?
