External connection != external control.
Although with home security services, it's one of the areas where I think external control is advantageous because the best cameras don't help you when the thieves take the device that keeps the recordings with them.
- acidburnNSA 6y ago> External connection != external control. Exactly this. Even in security contexts, my Home Assistant-based security system is running fully-local object detection and runs automations when "Person" shows up in an unexpected place at an unexpected time. It emails me the offending image (thereby offloading from the camera) and records video locally. If it happens at night while I'm asleep it runs a sequence of turning lights on to scare them off and then wakes me up if it didn't work. This is kind of a combo of local-only with a few pings to the outer world.
- oauea 6y agoWhat software are you using for object detection? I'd like to extend my Home Assistant setup.
- acidburnNSA 6y agoI made a custom component to integrate this object detection lib with pytorch. https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5 https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5 The tensorflow one it comes with didn't work on python 3.8 or on my gpu. I should blog about it.

- JoBrad 6y agoI plan on using HA for everything but the alarm system eventually. But I don’t know of a monitored system controlled by HA, do you?
- JoBrad 6y agoMy camera isn’t part of the alarm system (not sure I really want an alarm going off because of a camera). They are triggered by it, though.
