On that thought, I've had excellent results using Groups.io
<https://groups.io> (having migrated a group of over 1,000 woodworkers
form Yahoo Groups) and have just now created a "basic" group
"*videosurveillance*". I'm pasting in this reply using the insert HTML
of Thunderbird to subscribe to the group and if you view your email in
HTML, you should see a subscription box immediately below.
Subscribe to our group
I've written the group's description as:
A group devoted to using off-the-shelf cameras and coupling them
with open source software solutions and alternative hardware for
video surveillance.
There is a plethora of cameras that may be used for video
surveillance, yet the hardware and software solutions sold with the
products are limiting and often require a large expenditure for a
proprietary system in order to expand and/or include features not
offered with the default software shipped with the camera.? This
group explores using video surveillance cameras such as Reolink,
Hikvision and others and providing home-built open source solutions
to support the cameras.? From the moment of capture, to motion
detection, and artificial intelligence to process incoming video
feeds to distill events that would be meaningful to an owner.
On a personal note, I have had excellent results using four $60 Reolink
cameras on my back alley, one capture is leading to a felony I theft
charge and another to a "Wanted" for car theft.? Judging from the last
two responses in this thread, I think there may be several people such
as myself who have the technical chops and inclination to do it yourself
rather than buy a black-box solution.
We'll see.? Please do not hesitate to contact me by email directly off
this list using subject "videosurveillance group" if you want an
invitation to this new Groups.io videosurveillance.
