COFFEE LAKE CLOVER EFI INSTALL
At around 8:30 (video timestamp) where you install the Clover boot manager to USB, this kept failing for me as it didn't have write access. This was the main video guide that I followed: I used the latest 10.15.6 Catalina installation files from the App Store.ġ. The install wasn't all plain sailing, but I'll share what issues I had and how they were overcome in case it helps others.

CPU usage is around 3-5% which is fantastic, much better than the 40-60% I had on my MacBook Pro 2013. I have a stable NUC8 running Catalina 10.15.6, with 8 camera streams all being H/W decoded (a mix of h264 and h265). With H.265, a moderate number of cameras (up to 16), all using motion capture rather than continuous capture, this should be adequate.Īnother option for storage is an external 3.5" drive in an enclosure connected by USB 3 - you get more storage and better speed for a similar price. Also Crucial, Samsung and SanDisk are reliable brands (but speeds vary significantly over different brands/models, and the WD ones you linked to look to be among the best).Īn Internal 2.5" HDD for captured files should work OK, providing your capture data rate isn't huge. The Western Digital NVMe SSDs look good - impressive capacity and speed for the price. And, even though the i3 has a higher base clock speed, the i5 has a higher turbo boost speed, and in reality, these CPUs can run continuously at a rate somewhere between the base speed and the maximum boost speed, so you can't just compare the base speeds in order to determine real-world performance. The 4-core i5 will give a significant speed boost over the 2-core i3 that will be important for SecuritySpy, so I think this is worth going for.

Will the higher number of cores in an i5 make a difference to the AI processing or general running of SecuritySpy? I suspect it will do because there's more to the software than just decoding the video streams right? The i3 has 2-cores (4 threads) with a base frequency of 3Ghz vs i5 with 4-cores (8 threads) 2.3Ghz The question I'd like some advice on is wether to go for the NUC 8 i3-8109U or the i5-8259 option please?īoth CPUs are based on the 8th gen Coffee-Lake architecture which can decode 16 h.264/h.265 streams. (My MacBook Pro 2013 can't H/W decode h.265 so the fans are always on high speed). Thanks to some earlier threads, I'm going to bite the bullet and buy an Intel NUC 8 to run SecuritySpy on.
