  1. As a person who led a recall against a sitting Seattle Mayor.... this one doesn't look like it has a snowballs chance at hell of working.

    Opportunistic Karen's say Seattle's Mayor Wilson should be recalled over the Bite of Seattle Shooting and checks notes... turning off some of the police CCTV cameras.

  3. KITCHENER APPROVES WRPS SURVEILLANCE PILOT PROJECT

    In May 2026, the City of Kitchener approved a one-year police surveillance camera pilot program, which allows the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) to install closed-circuit television (CCTV) and automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems on municipal infrastructure. 

    The program’s initial deployment sites include downtown Kitchener along King St. and the Fairview Park Mall […]

  5. I turned my security cameras into AI assistants with open-source LLM Vision

  9. Interesting - they didn't lock off the #alleyway nor fill it with #CCTV, just tidied it up and put pretty flowers etc there and the #crime plummeted

    I do wonder though if one reason was that the flowers etc need looking after, so there would always middle aged people and seniors in the alleyway - making it far less attractive for people to take or deal drugs there or flytip ( essentially a form of human #sousveillance / #surveillance )

  13. Inside the growing #vigilante #movement to knock out #Flock #surveillance #cameras

    source: theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

    Surveillance #technology is becoming more common in modern #society. Many governments use cameras and digital systems to improve public safety and help #police solve #crimes. Supporters believe these technologies make communities safer and allow officers to respond more quickly to criminal activities.

    However, many people are worried about #privacy. Surveillance systems can collect large amounts of personal data, including information about where people travel and how they move through public spaces. Critics argue that innocent citizens should not be monitored without a clear reason or a legal warrant.

    Some activists protest against these systems through political campaigns, while others choose direct action by disabling surveillance cameras. This has started a wider debate about the balance between #security and #freedom. The #discussion also raises important ethical questions about #government #power, personal privacy, and the role of technology in #everyday #life. Finding the right #balance between protecting society and protecting individual rights remains one of the biggest #challenges of the digital age.

  14. Ich sitze gerade auf der Couch, mit Mate am Mann und einem endlosen inneren Monolog...das Konzept wie wir Bots früher "erkannt" haben - die schlechten - greifen heute nicht mehr. Ein Videobeweis hat keine Gültigkeit mehr und ein selbst valide wirkender Account kann gehijackt sein und 1:1 den gleichen Content machen um so einen "fast shift"¹ taktisch zu verschleiern.

    Ich sag' nicht dass das Internet "verloren" ist, sondern dass wir unsere Metriken, also unser Gedankenpattern, wie wir was erkennen, ändern müssen. Sonst holt dich die Master of Social-eningeering #KI. Dein vermeindliches Kind ruft an. Von einer anderen Nummer, die nicht vom Kind ist - sondern vom US/EU-Datenzentrum, welche 1:1 die Stimme kopiert und nach Geld fragt, weil es im Wald die Fahradkette gesprungen ist oder das Auto kaputt gegangen ist, dabei ist das Handy "kaputt" gegangen und dein Kind musste sich desswegen ein anderes Handy leihen - natürlich gelogen, aber im Ernstfall wäre Vorgang exakt der gleiche. Angelehnt dazu wäre dazu

    "Die vermeintliche Wahrheit muss sich nur wahr genug anfühlen, damit wir als Mensch in der 'Verifizierung' das wahrgenommene als korrekt oder richtig annehmen."

    Auch an uns #DiDay -"Fighter" und Vertreter:
    Die Standard Sicherheitsregeln sind am Ablaufen und wir brauchen dringend ein Konzept, welches Schutzschild und Schwert wir unseren "Schützlingen" und Begeisterten nun in Zukunft mitgeben sollen und müssen.

    • Mehr offline wagen? (lokale Bekanntschaften sind besser zu verifizieren)
    • und dann?

    Im aktuellen Antropic Fall, welche "Cybersecurity" ausreizt und dabei ohne Schmerzen Firmen mit runter zieht², sollte evntl. mit das Bild schwingen dass z.B. Drohnen durch KI durchaus manipuliert werden können und die #CCTV nochmal eine Schippe stärker, manipuliertes Material anzeigen kann ohne das man es mitbekommt.

  16. Facial Recognition is spiralling out of control in the UK and there are no clear laws in place to protect our privacy

    Stop scanning us all with facial recognition Unlike CCTV, facial recognition doesn’t just record what you do, your face becomes a barcode in the same way as your fingerprint or your DNA. We must stop this. The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, recently revealed her chilling vision of building a “panopticon” where “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.” Your passport photo is now being searched by police facial recognition systems, even if you have done nothing wrong […]

  22. "What if the home secretary explicitly said she believed in a “panopticon state” – that is, a state that could watch you at all times (as Shabana Mahmood already has) – and what if she still had a job when the lamp-post eyes got their updates? Or what if the next home secretary was even keener on hyper-surveillance (hard to imagine), and the street apparatus was already in place? What about all the data this would harvest – who would own it?"

From the GitHub page: “An open, structured database of 2,230 CCTV / IP camera models and their technical specifications, covering 71 brands across every market segment — from budget consumer WiFi cameras to enterprise PTZ domes and thermal imaging systems.”

  27. 3. Spying on everyday activities. Promoters try to call this "putting up #CCTV cameras to keep you safe", but what it actually does is help track your movements in real life, so there's never a private space where you can discuss things away from the eyes of an oppressive (local or foreign) government. This makes it trivial for the party or entity in power to round up those opposing it so that it can remain in power, indefinitely.

  28. I’m currently watching an ABC iView drama series called #TheCapture. The central theme is ubiquitous #CCTV coverage coupled to #AI and #FacialRecognition. It is a BBC series so the action happens in the UK. The story expands on London’s CCTV coverage and the ability to identify anyone based on facial recognition software. It extrapolates this technology to marry it up with advances in #AI ability to fake video footage with dire consequences of course. It makes for a chilling series and more that a little unsettling considering what #TechBros can already do today because it is but a short step to what is portrayed.

    I’ve just made sure both cameras on my iPad are securely taped over. Can’t do much about the microphone, but I’m a quiet person anyway.

    If this sounds like panic… no, it’s not… well at least not yet…

    You never know who’s watching you though…

    Ps. Don’t take this too seriously, we have a few years to go before such technology is possible and becomes a tool to pervert the course of justice and enable Ai-driven technolog given the power to be judge and jury and, dare I say, the executioner.

    Perverted AI technologies? What’s not to like?

    [Sarc]
    A great series to watch though.

  29. Hell yeah, when my teacher/the editor of my school's newsletter was underwhelmed with the options we'd come up with for lead stories (I hated them too) I successfully sold her on a story about our town becoming a surveillance state with AI-powered license plate recognizing cameras across the city.

  30. Видеонаблюдение на базе Android устройства за 3 недели

    Я начал замечать открытые щитки у себя на этаже, в голове пронеслись мысли про favourite guys в поисках запрещённых ресурсов, потому решил озаботиться круглосуточным видеонаблюдением лестничной площадки. Заказал на Али недорогую рыбоглазую камеру и влепил её под потолок прямо над щитком. Но мой бюджет был ограничен, а в тумбочке лежит несколько неиспользуемых Андройд телефонов, их то я и решил применить в качестве NVR устройства, вместо покупки такового. А ещё телефон меньше жрут и совсем не шумят, в отличие от хардварных версий записывающих устройств. Встроенной карты памяти на камере нет, поэтому нужно внешнее устройство. Загуглил, попробовал несколько программ и остановился на одной из них, которая выглядела как самая зрелая, с большим количеством функций, да ещё и платной версией. Платную версию конечно же купить у нас нельзя, но скачать её патченную сестру с 4pda можно, что я и сделал. Алексей (автор), прости, но другого варианта у меня не было. Какие у неё функции достоинства:
