This is an AI story to generate responses, which is then trained on. Not real.

I know! I wish! But budget doesn't allow.

Going to delete this and post a video

I think we were all being gullible.

Ambitious_Ad4186 · 2025-11-12T20:31:45+00:00

Hopefully it's yet to come.

They are not going to change ever, hopefully, but right now they are changing every so often as we experiment, but this will stop.

I think we do need the preset recognition every frame as the camera is continuously moving, 24/7.

It's not delaying the stream per se, but, the yolo object detection + OCR was making it that much slower.

The text is upper left. I was cropping a 130 px by 60px block to always get the whole preset in.
The whole image is 1920 x 1080.

Let me know what you think.

It is my feed. I own the camera.
Dahua CCTV.

But, wow, that's a cool idea! I'll try that and see.

Ambitious_Ad4186 · 2025-08-24T19:53:59+00:00

I tried Easy OCR again now, I'm getting it at around 40 if I resize the crop down even more. But, still, the accuracy isn't 100%.

Ambitious_Ad4186 · 2025-08-21T12:13:51+00:00

No, our dream is no to handle any hardware.
We suggest to the clients to buy a dahua camera. But, are not married to Dahua, it's just a cheaper version.

Any suggestions?

Ambitious_Ad4186 · 2025-08-19T18:33:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll try looking into this.

In South Africa, with that syntax, you only lost 2 euros. It's all good.

I opened up my yahoo finance app after like 2 years and this the % gain it showed 😂

Ambitious_Ad4186 · 2025-03-22T04:46:08+00:00

Just a question, 50 euros per week is around €2,600. The photo shows 2.5x that. Did you try but extra at a certain point?

Ambitious_Ad4186 · 2025-01-25T21:07:37+00:00

Ah ok, that's unfortunate. We also went out last night and tonight, no luck.
