just rename as Fluffy

Or Argus

For anyone wondering:

> Argus Panoptes (All-seeing; Ancient Greek: Ἄργος Πανόπτης) or Argos (Ancient Greek: Ἄργος) is a many-eyed giant in Greek mythology. The figure is known for having generated the saying "the eyes of Argus", as in to be "followed by the eyes of Argus", or "trailed by" them, or "watched by" them, etc.

> Argus Panoptes or Argos was a hundred-eyed giant in Greek mythology. He was a giant, the son of Arestor, whose name "Panoptes" meant "the all-seeing one". He was a servant of Hera; one of the tasks that were given to him was to slay the fearsome monster Echidna, wife of Typhon, which he successfully completed.

How this could be named open source but actually be licensed under a creative commons non comercial license (BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://doc.kerberos.io/opensource/license/

It does seem like an odd choice given that Creative Commons specifically recommends against it[0]. That alone would make me unlikely to use this project.

Does anyone have some outdoor camera recommendations? The ones I had were very low resolution, I could hardly recognize myself in video.

I'm happy with Amcrest cameras, both for indoor and outdoor use. They have some very affordable 4k options with PoE if that matters to you.

How do you power your outdoor cameras? Just drill a hole for a PoE cable?

I love their cameras but the app is so abysmal. Whenever I connect over vpn to access the cams remotely it goes effectively into a boot loop. I hate it. I keep reporting the crashes on android but no updates come.

The Hook Up youtube channel has a number of review videos of different types of cameras in different price ranges with lots of examples.

Frigate is another open-source object detection engine that works amazingly well with Home Assistant: https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate

Frigate is just wonderful.

Coupled with Coral TPU it manages to perform pretty well on Raspi4.

Does it support Kerberos authentication?

It’s like they didn’t even Google the name first.

It's surprising that anybody working on something related to security and computers would have to Google that name.

But yeah, goes to show that Windows is not absolutely omnipresent.

Interesting. I’ve been building a home camera network and the state of this space (the nvr software) is pretty abysmal: zoneminder, blueiris, shinobi, etc… gonna take this for a spin. This is a terrible name for an open source project though.

It would be a perfect name for a surveillance system in a dystopian government though
