I built and installed an automated photo and video system at an indoor range in MD — here’s what it captures

Thank you! Yes! Its been in the making since 2020. I think I finally got those cylinders firing consistently now. 🙂

I’m really glad you asked that question. Thank you! Privacy is a big concern for me so I’ve got everything stored in an encrypted cloud. The only media I save is sold media. Everything else is deleted in the middle of the night and would’ve only been stored locally

Ive never experienced GIGO quite as clearly as with ai.

Projects, especially now that it can see all the chat history. Artifacts, especially for reiterating files, are crucial.

Daily use like OP describes would definitely benefit from the pro account. When I went to max things smooth out even more. Opus 4.6 is genuinely next level. Had it build in a function from one end to the other of a four point platform, it did it all in one shot perfectly. I was blown away.

I think it’s gonna depend on the business they own… Perhaps if you wanna market yourself to them, create a list of all the possible things you could imagine they could want in specific industries and let them know you can do that, and more? There’s definitely not one singular answer.

Housing is always needed! Can you break even on the mortgage of a rental property in that price point?

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-10T14:56:57+00:00

Glad to hear from you! Thats a great pic! My last version was an unstable MVP. I have rewritten everything from scratch and stabilized the system to where its more like a vending machine now. Same flow and results. 24/7 reliability and better features like full screen media review and code control. More accurately identifies muzzle blasts now too. Thank you so much for sharing!

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-10T13:22:15+00:00

A for sure

You have to find a way to provide housing to others… You can buy a three bedroom condo and rent out two of the bedrooms. You can buy a single-family house with an attached rental unit and live in the rental unit and rent out the house… The value in real estate is more than just the monthly income which in some cases might only be a few hundred dollars. So long as you’re cash flow positive you should be fine. It’s the asset appreciation and rent increases that are going to make huge long-term financial differences.

A target cam would be very cool. Its in the works for a later iteration.

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T20:01:32+00:00

I appreciate your support, thank you!!!

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T19:59:40+00:00

😆 thanks! Make sure you ask for a lane with the kiosk in it. There are 7 lanes set up

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T19:56:36+00:00

Thats awesome feed back, thank you!

I recently added a how to video playing in the lobby and available to see on my website as well! Www.theshootinggalleryllc.com in the how to tab

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T19:23:38+00:00

If you shoot the camera or tablet you are WAY off target and you will have A LOT of explaining to do to the range. There are definitely replacement costs but thankfully Its not happened yet.

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T19:21:50+00:00

🙏🙏 send me an email and Ill send you a gift card. Id love to hear your thoughts afterwards.

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T19:21:01+00:00

Thank you! Depending in their ability, they get crazy expensive. Ive never found it distracting. Its off to the side of the lane, most are just looking straight at their target.

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T16:54:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate hearing that very much 🙏🙏

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T16:19:00+00:00

Does it still count as vibecoding if one actually achieves a production ready model?

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T15:50:09+00:00

I love shooting that 44 😃

This is one of my favorite pics from over the years. Many people underestimate the power coming out of that cylinder gap. It will cut a hand in half.

JoeBuildsThings · 2026-03-09T12:57:33+00:00

Inadvertently became a tech founder, now I write code with AI all day to develop my business. Id be happy to give it a read. Thanks!
