@dalias My experience, yes. I plugged them in, found their DHCP IP on my router, then connected to their web interface. There's also an app which, I believe, can locate them for you, but they showed up in my DHCP and the MAC identified as 'Amcrest Technologies" (or hunt MAC address starting with 09)'

@dalias I have three of the Amcrest 5MP UltraHD turret cameras, including one that PTZ. They have RTSP and PoE. I have them set up in HA (I use the web interface for the PTZ one, but there is an integration https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/amcrest/ ).

@thomasfuchs 😭

@thomasfuchs @crmsnbleyd Yeah. I mean we've been at it for decades because it's an NP-Hard problem. Sadly, those working on things like deep learning, HIS, etc, now find themselves drowned out by the GAI crowd.

@thomasfuchs I feel compelled to say 'to be fair' in that the con is the people saying 'here it is!', not the researchers saying 'we are not there yet and we still have a long way to go'.

@thomasfuchs
@#(*&^@, Fuchs! Yes, but I'm not buying hardware right now.

....... Bid placed anyway.

@thomasfuchs I've always loved this thing. So much better than all the ever-expanding to the left/right offerings from others.

@thomasfuchs #1 even used to be called "an expert system" before the buzzwords got applied.

Oh, The Onion, you are a treasure.

Ugh. The future seems more and more dismal.

Trump October 2021: “On that horrible day of January 6, Ashli [Babbitt] arrived at the United States Capitol. She was shot and tragically killed. Today would’ve been her birthday. Happy birthday, Ashli.”

Trump August 2024: "Nobody was killed on January 6th"

So #weird

Meanwhile at Google

@thomasfuchs But, Thomas, I saw a video the other day where one drove on dirt and over a mud puddle and the owner was so proud they posted it online. And it didn't even shut down once after getting wet. See how amazing it is?

The gun-loving GOP wants to again ban guns from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. It's almost as if their 'good guy with a gun' rhetoric is *gasp* just complete bullshit.
Only problem is, Wisconsin is an open carry state with a state law _driven by Republicans_ preventing them from actually banning guns in the convention security perimeter.
The secret service will just do it anyway, of course, but... Leopards Eating People's Faces, etc.

Fuckwits.

"Raising the minimum wage would increase prices."

"Have the CEO and other suits take a pay cut instead of a pay rise and record profit-taking."

"errrr... Communism! Immigrants! Democrats!"

@thomasfuchs Hmmm... So it will be required to do original research and write an original thesis about its work? Fascinating.

MAGA/GOP after Kyle Rittenhouse jury decision: You need to respect the jury and the justice system.

@Polychrome Yes indeedy. 8 espidodes. The US only initially got... 6? 7? of season 2, but they all eventually played on cable.

Many of the computer graphics from Max Headroom season 1 were created by Rod Lord, the same guy who also did the wonderful faux computer graphics in Hitchhiker's Guide (1981)
