Hey all, I just installed three Unifi cameras around our property. I'd like to set up a few monitors around the home that show the RTSP streams in addition to my generator monitor dashboard (https://github.com/jgyates/genmon) as well as a little webpage that shows the state of our garage doors and driveway gate that I created with a couple Pico Ws (it's a _super basic_ HTML page that just refreshes every thirty seconds). I think I have the general structure pretty well mapped out in my head: three quadrants running VLC instances, plus one quadrant with two Chrome windows showing my simple status page and genmon. Planning to use a simple Python script to set up the windows on boot via xdotool, which then turns the streams and monitor on/off based on inputs from a PIO motion sensor. Might add a button to toggle through fullscreening the videos. Anyway, my question: can a Zero 2 W handle playing back three RTSP streams plus Chrome rendering two very simple sites? Given my experience with the Zero W, I think it wouldn't work. The 2 is pretty beefy, though, except for the limited RAM. I don't care too much; I'll find a use for them eventually anyway, and I can't find them in stock regardless (although they seem to be coming gradually back). What do you all think?
