      I used to have a job supporting devices like these. You don’t need a lot of power to run these and you can get a used device exceptionally cheap that can probably do the job most of the time. You can get really old too if the resolution on the image isn’t too high, probably not actually older than ARM, but old enough where you wonder how close it is for a second.

        So they use 2nd hand hardware? Because I was thinking sth like a raspberry pi nano would be better suited for this.
