I'm taking baby steps with ChatGPT free and contemplating a pay account.
The 20' tall shaft walls are begging for a water feature on one of them.
I plugged LVP flooring as a background, and copper rain chains and gutters, and then added patina.
It is not to scale but it gives me some inspiration.

Short version:

1. Digital security cameras use digital video streams. There are different stream formats from different cameras.

2. "go2rtc" is an app that can eat any stream & spit out any stream to multiple cameras. That means that the camera only has to send one native stream out of itself (load load, high reliability) & then go2rtc can use the computer's processing power to convert it to any format required & to multiple different recorders (NVR, AI processor, etc.)

3. Frigate is a great free NVR. Basically a digital VCR with basic AI detection built-in. This is packaged as a Docker image (tiny virtual machine, for free!) with go2rtc (stream relay & transcoder) built-in:

Frigate NVR

NVR with realtime local object detection for IP cameras
frigate.video frigate.video

4. DeepCamera is a new AI toolset that is state-of-the-art, can run on hardware at home, and is FREE! WAY better than Frigate's built-in AI tools! This also comes with a smart AI agent ("video chatbot"), all 100% local & FREE!!

So what's the point of it all? Is it just really elaborate security to tell you someone is near your house? And if that's the case, what makes it better than dog 1.0? As a detection standard, my dogs can detect a bird farting at twenty paces, would this system be better?
