    Smartsens releases SC859SL

    Just press releases and spec sheets. Anything inferred beyond that is pure speculation. This is an Internet forum.

    Smartsens releases SC859SL

    That looks to wrap up the latest round of Chinese sensors with no remotely recent 1/1.2” in sight. Great to see the tech catch back up but looks like the next 8MP 5 series will be 1/1.8”. At least the 4MP should be close to the S3 with 2 massive generations of IR improvement over the PRO. Maybe...

    Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS

    16GB LNL minis are about $500 and when you buy them, you own them. You don’t have to ask permission from Apple periodically to keep using it. You can even fetch updates without checking in first.

    Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS

    Lunar lake isn’t your old Intel chip. On chip lpddr5x, NPU4- 8 bit native (48TOPS) with full 16 bit support (24T half FLOPS). VVC hardware decode. Big iGPU with BF16 support. Getting mini pc form factor brings PL1 to 30w and nearly doubles steady throughout. Yolo graphs especially well to Intel...

    Fregata.app: A port of Frigate to macOS

    Why not a $500 lunar lake mini and then run open source? Lunar lake is still overkill unless running large models with sensitive detection. Buying a Mac for a home server means you’re going to have to deploy some fregata style hack or work around for most services you want to deploy. Buying an...

    Flying Tesla demo - live

    It’s hard to realize how something can be so damn amazing and so useless at the same time. This is not the Tesla that made the model 3 and that makes me sad but it still might be the best thing I’ve ever watched. It’s also perfectly on trend with the 100000 videos of robots doing crazy dances...

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    I think the biggest difference is focus. This Uniview with p-iris seems to focus perfectly on whatever it’s supposed to be looking at. Night and day from my “auto iris” Dahua verafocals or fixed cams where everything seems to be in the “good enough” range but rarely perfect. This is during the...

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    And ya so my reference point is some specialty flock cam with a $2k list price but I’m starting to think Uniview is better than Dahua. I mean the Hangzhou step child needs some love too, right? I think they’re like 2 blocks from Dahua and a mile from Hikvision. Also my Dahua turrets/domes aren't...

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    $69 free returns is gone for now. $200 is absolutely too much given the risk. You do get free returns for a couple weeks but these are contractual waste.

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    lol I bought this as a Halloween prop. Got 2x because why not. I’ve just been playing with mine and from what I’ve seen so far, my s1/2 era wizminds are reolinks now. Disclaimer I have not done hardly any night testing and I’m mostly used to full color cams.

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    Ii think these were released in 2021 and still current, but totally agree I wouldn’t pay $200 for somebody’s contractual waste. $70 is bearable for something that makes my WizMind cams look like toys.

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    They’re big and heavy AF. My two cameras came in two shipments. If nobody buys any at $200 then maybe they come back down but don’t count on it, been watching this 2018 era Dahua from them for almost a year and they’re still proud of it at 10x what I’d pay.

    Where to get cameras in 2026? (and the future)

    Should I have left it on there? lol if you’re in the DFW area I’ll give you one for $100.

    HOME ASSISTANT (Assist) Voice Assistant

    Home assistant’s Assist sucks so bad it isn’t even funny. 5000 tokens of safety bull crap. Gives lights like 7 colors with no ability to tune. Seriously it’s designed for the crappiest AI models on earth when using something really great and fast like deeseek4 flash costs 10 cents per month but...
