ffmpeg does use Quick Sync as well as many other forms of de/encoding. See their website for info on this… Most of the things that the ipcamera binding does not encode it only transforms the cameras packets into another package so it does not use much CPU. But if you are using this method in this thread to convert h264 into mjpeg then hardware de/encoding will help.

if you have dahua then make sure you use the IpCamera binding by searching this forum as it give you the smart alarms and more…
