Intel 12th gen or newer: disable the E-cores in the BIOS. 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs have reported instability, so consider an alternative platform.

5 · Network requirements

The sensor camera sends uncompressed video to the tracking workstation over the network. This connection needs:

  1. Direct connection: Connect the camera and workstation directly (link-local, point-to-point). The video must not pass through a router into another network, such as your office network.

  2. Jumbo frames (MTU 9000+): Set the MTU to at least 9000 bytes. Jumbo frames send larger data packets, which video needs for high bandwidth and low latency.

  3. Support on every device: Every device in between, such as switches, fiber media converters or link-local router ports, must support jumbo frames. Otherwise video packets are split up or lost.
