   Thanks! Most use-cases have limitations in bandwidth, so not all data is streamed up to the cloud. Typically, people will run simple motion detectors on the physical camera device itself, and save content in the cloud that they think might

   Thanks for the thoughtful questions! 1. People have definitely tried this in the past in terms of having similar tech, but I don't think anyone has sanely approached it at the same angle. We're seeing so many more companies like E

   Thanks for the comment! Audio is definitely an interesting angle. We haven't spoken to a lot of folks yet that want that feature, but I'd guess some productivity tools that let you rewatch Zoom calls, baby monitoring, media playba

   > With your massive parallel infra you're still processing 27 millions frames, right? No, it's not. We first run a cheap filter like a motion detector on all of the video, which is inexpensive. We then stack other, more expensi

   This is totally understandable. We're thinking of the best way to satisfy personal users given we've heard this security use case many times.

   Sounds like another use-case that fits! We're currently only offering this via hosted API so it won't work offline. I'd be interested in understanding the specific use-case further. If you have any connects there, feel free t

   Most of the time, we work on processing video data after it's been hosted somewhere for us to seek by frame or download. We don't yet support video streams but have heard multiple people bring it up. Our infrastructure is really g

    1) Wow I've never heard that one before but that's so interesting. I'm just thinking of my parents who love gardening and the insight they might get from that. If you want to leverage our platform for a personal project like

    Well, this depends. If you're looking at some generic things that are similar to what CLIP was trained on, this would work. Say you're interested in specific physical security metrics, or monitoring defective parts, or specific th

    Interesting application! We're working with a few people that monitor public streets in different ways so I can see this being useful to you as well! Feel free to reach out to me at mokshith@sievedata.com and we can chat more :)

    Nest already provides some smart people / motion detection. I could definitely see personal home security use-cases if you're building something DIY. Curious as to why you might prefer a system like this over what Nest provides. I

    Thanks! We're don't currently have plans to make it a real-time but if there are enough use-cases here, we'll definitely think more about it. Other than security, where do you see this being useful? I'm thinking possibly

    Thanks for sharing your use-case Tom! Love that you bring up delivery bots. They're the moving example, but you can also think of a parallel application where you have stationary cameras monitoring something of interest (worker safety,

    Thanks for the comment! I'm actually the author of the post as well. Two things: 1. I stated 10 cameras, not 1 so according to your calculations that would mean 190 GB per day instead of 19 GB. 2. I didn't make the assumption that

    Great product - I love that you can actually use it immediately. Will give it a try. Some comments below though. There's a whole ecosystem of tools now being built around explainability, bias-awareness, and more given that your models
