> What are the legal implications of running an AI based autonomous camera service outside in your locale? Better research that...
Funnily enough, that's something I've put a little bit of thought into! I want to keep my bird camera local and "privacy friendly," with no photos leaving my network sans-human-intervention. I'm even going to paint a tiny little "Birds Under Surveillance" sign (or something like that) to indicate that the camera isn't watching people.
My goal is to have it sync photos to my NAS via some kind of wireless connection and then do species identification on own machine. It's been surprisingly hard to find any sort of open LLM or machine-learning models for identifying birds though, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. Luckily my wife is an avid birder and already knows all of our local species, so v1 doesn't need to identify what's pecking at the feeder.
