If bandwidth ain't much of an issue, can just dump frames to a separate device for encoding, aside, Can't imagine someone using a pi 5 just for camera usage (aside from projects needing cameras)

I was hoping to use RPI5 as an NVR with image detection for Home Automation.

The Frigate add-on with Home Assistant can publish events based on image detection for automations and supports RPI3 / RPI4 hardware acceleration.

Maybe not only for cameras, but also for cameras. And when doing other things simultaneously, a video encoder not hogging all processing power becomes even more important.
