Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for pointing out Unifi Protect, as long as the camera supports ONVIF(RTSP), then it could be connected, please let me know more, I'm not familiar with Unifi Protect, will do more research...

Yes you can get an RTSPS stream, but looks like Aegis is doing some validation that won't accept them. They look like - rtsps://192.168.1.1:7441/uOndh6hJd3Bti4kd?enableSrtp

Oh, sorry about that. I didn't test RTSPS stream, what model is it? I'll go by one and test. Before then, I'll check the flow to loosen the validation. Let's prepare a release for this ...

I have always envisioned a ai server being part of a family's major purchases e.g. when they buy a house, appliance, etc. they also buy a 'ai system'. Machine hardware evolution is slowing down, pretty soon you can buy one big ass server that will last potentially decades as it would be purpose built for ai. Things like 'context based home security' yeah thats just, automatic, free, part of the ai system. Everyone wi…

Reminds me of how 12, Grimmauld Place works in the Harry Potter books. With an AI server the enchantments could be so much better.

Why is there so much interest in local AI systems, am I missing something? Cloud providers have scale and expertise that would allow for much bigger throughput at lower costs. The small latency gains will be nice, but ChatGPT and Claude already come through blazingly fast via their API.

I disagree. Let's take the M1 vs the M5 ( https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/10/apple-silicon-m1-to-m5-... ): - 6× faster CPU/GPU performance - 6× faster AI performance - 7.7× faster AI video processing - 6.8× faster 3D rendering - 2.6× faster gaming performance - 2.1× faster code compiling Over the span of 5 years. Plus, realistically what makes an "ai" server different from a computer? This "lineage info of the fami…

It doesnt matter if computers keep getting faster - it just matters if eventually they get to the point where everything is good enough for good AI.

That being said I feel like were gonna get to that point for most other stuff way sooner than AI (and already have for many pieces of software)

this reads as a very low quality and probably fully llm written post.

the analysis is very suspicious: “gpt 5 mini had api failures due to wrong temp setting”? wtf?

whatever you used to slop your benchmark didt even take the time to set the temp to 1 (which the docs say is required)

The product being evaluated is a home security camera agent, its user base is HomeAssistant-adjacent. Value here is privacy over latency (23tok/sec isn’t amazing for a vision model)

One word: privacy

After the temp setting fix, I didn't run mini gpt5. Sorry, my bad.

The software seems pretty interesting. Is any integration with Home Assistant planned?

Yes, we are working on that. HA integration will be published as an open sourced skill. https://github.com/SharpAI/DeepCamera/tree/master/skills/int...

Do you want to have connect to your existing HA instance or okay with a new docker instance? I was planning to have both but would like to know which one makes better sense.
