Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

    I’ve been doing a bit of a dive into something called YOLOv8

    Not knowing what it is, I’m not sure if using software called YOLO is advisable 😆

    it seems that most things are quite readily available now :)

    Oh man, don’t tell me that, now I’ll have to do it!

      Haha. Though seeing as their on their 8th YOLO adventure (different versions are actually built by different people it seems), maybe they have a method to their YOLOing madness😆

      Oh man, don’t tell me that, now I’ll have to do it!

      You definitely shouldn’t visit mouser.com then hahaha 😆

        Oh man, there seems to be ample stock!

        Any suggestions for a camera? I don’t have any at the moment. One that doesn’t expose itself to the internet would be nice 😆

          I’ve only been looking at the Raspberry Cams for the moment, as my thinking was that I wanted to keep all the components as compatible as possible to make my life easier.

          Though for security cameras, maybe @[email protected] would have better knowledge around what is good out there?

            I don’t know much about rPi specific models. For outdoor security cams I always go wired with PoE IP cams that at least have an RTSP stream, that way most standalone NVR software can work with them.

            Not a fan of wireless/battery security cameras. I do have one wireless indoor cam, but it’s only to check on the toddler when she’s sleeping, it doesn’t record so no constant stream of data. I think I’m using a cheapie Amcrest out front, I haven’t really looked at cameras in awhile. Dahua’s are often recommended on places like ipcamtalk.com, but you need to look at specific models as there are a lot of them.

              Did a quick look on some forums and did see a lot of mentions of Dahua. I’ll hopefully move to a a Poe setup in the near future.
