## Intel-based CPUs
**Recommended hwaccel Preset**
| CPU Generation | Intel Driver | Recommended Preset | Notes |
| -------------- | ------------ | ------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| gen1 - gen7 | i965 | preset-vaapi | qsv is not supported |
| gen8 - gen12 | iHD | preset-vaapi | preset-intel-qsv-* can also be used |
| gen13+ | iHD / Xe | preset-intel-qsv-* | |
| Intel Arc GPU | iHD / Xe | preset-intel-qsv-* | |
:::note
The default driver is `iHD`. You may need to change the driver to `i965` by adding the following environment variable `LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965` to your docker-compose file or [in the `frigate.yaml` for HA OS users](advanced.md#environment_vars).
See [The Intel Docs](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005505/processors.html to figure out what generation your CPU is.)

### Via VAAPI
VAAPI supports automatic profile selection so it will work automatically with both H.264 and H.265 streams. VAAPI is recommended for all generations of Intel-based CPUs.

```yaml
ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi
```
:::note
With some of the processors, like the J4125, the default driver `iHD` doesn't seem to work correctly for hardware acceleration. You may need to change the driver to `i965` by adding the following environment variable `LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965` to your docker-compose file or [in the `frigate.yaml` for HA OS users](advanced.md#environment_vars).

### Via Quicksync (>=10th Generation only)
If VAAPI does not work for you, you can try QSV if your processor supports it. QSV must be set specifically based on the video encoding of the stream.
