Does this depend on the docker container to work?

Question about how this works...does all connections go through the docker container to function? Meaning I shouldn't host it on a weak device?

Audio and video streams from the camera need to go through the container.

You don't necessarily need lots of processing power or ram If you're not doing any rotation to the video since the raw h264 frames will be copied into an rtsp stream. Audio may need to get re-encoded depending on the camera firmware as some audio codecs are not compatible with the rtsp format.
