Only if it takes more than a second, and even then computers can run many many concurrent processes, that is after all how zoneminder works - fetching many frames per second from many cameras.alexus wrote:Oh look m0n0 guys here
"run job every second" - thas kinda konna eat 100% of cpu on any machine....
I've done exactly that for 3 cams without any significant load (just copying). Your conversion will add some load so as suggested, tweak the values until you get something smooth. If the conversion is very slow you may need a value of > 1s (say a cron pull of once every 2 or 3s).
It was a good suggestion. Probably your second best solution after buying an Axis
But it would still work for one every minute.
