It looks awesome and I look forward to trying it out.

Curious how you claim zero false negatives though (as in missing a person it should have detected), unless you’re reviewing all the data or have another system hooked up to it verifying? Or perhaps you simply mean to imply nothing bad has happened due to a missed detection?

In curious hope it did during Halloween with all the costumes? Are you able to have it pre alert you that kids are coming to the door?

I have set up two zones per camera: The “yard” and the “entry” which is directly in front of the door. Whenever someone is at the entry, I get a notification. Since I walk these paths myself, I have hundreds of test points. Apart from that, I’m happy to _always_ get a notification before the bell rings. And I never have to open the door before I know who is there.

The “yard” part, I review every week. Here, of course, I have no data to compare it to, so I cannot say if it’s missing anything.

So yes, I’m certain it misses nothing that’s important to me - is there someone at my door and who is it.

PS: No Halloween in Switzerland so I cannot tell(;

It works well with other costumes like Trail Running and Hiking gear. It also works in the dark (IR camera) and in crazy hard tests like just peeking around the corner with only part of the face visible.

Is this actually legal in Switzerland?
I’m allowed to record my own property whilst following reasonable rules.

If you’re interested, here’s an intro to the relevant legislation: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/de/home/datenschutz/ueberwa...
