1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840 Hey guys, I'm Dan. I've been working on this little project thing today, which has been really neat. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,880 The Camera Dan and Creator Warehouse need cameras set up around the building to be able to, like, watch the CNC mill 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,840 and watch 3 printers and that sort of thing, and we need a better way to get footage from that for the editors 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,040 than the Unify cameras, which can be a little bit difficult. So we've been working on this real-time system. 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,840 It's kind of difficult to figure out a way to get real-time footage in an easy way. 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,080 Thankfully, GoPro's, which we just kind of had laying around, 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,080 they have the streaming functionality, which is really nice, and you can normally go to 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,640 Twitch or YouTube or stuff like that, but they also have a custom RTMP destination. 9 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,920 What I did on my computer here is I just spun up a quick Nginx instance 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,160 that has an RTMP server built in, and then so now my computer is a Twitch, basically, 11 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,600 and so we can stream directly to it, and that's what these cameras are doing. 12 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,640 Another thing that I discovered today, which was pretty awesome, is the GoPro has like a beta 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:04,480 lab firmware, and what that allows you to do is use QR codes to program the cameras and also 14 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:11,760 start and stop the streams. So I've mounted this GoPro up into the Tormach, and all that we have 15 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,040 to do if it ever stops is you just grab this, and then you just point it at the camera, and it goes 16 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,400 beep, and then it automatically streams to this destination here. 17 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,200 We're currently looking for a system to record them all the time, so we'll have 24-7 recording. 18 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,440 Maybe we keep a week of footage, something like that. Something neat happens, we can just kind of 19 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:36,240 grab it and throw it in a video. Nice thing is that we can also record with like H.264 or H.265 20 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,440 N-Bank, which means that we can have an mp4 container, and we get a drop in a premiere timeline, 21 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,760 and then you're kind of good to go, instead of having to worry about any muxing or reconverting 22 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,880 or that kind of frustration, which takes time. Sorry, I just saw Sebastian. 23 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,840 Yeah, that's fine. There's Sebastian, he's working there. He's working hard. So this is real time, he's working on some fourth axis, A-axis, 24 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,120 nerling, which is pretty complicated. He was struggling with the math, because you have to move 25 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:09,680 the tool in the x-axis, and then also rotate it in a diamond pattern, and then shift that every 26 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,840 single time you're doing the cycle. I don't know, it's kind of magical. Because the GoPro's don't 27 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,080 allow you to have the external power when the cover is off, I just put a whole bunch of painters 28 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,200 tape around it, so it could hold an LMG jank, and then that just goes directly over USPC into 29 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,440 the power outlet. So it should run continuously all the time. These things are good to like 30 30 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,640 meters or something like that, unprotected, so if it gets splashed, I don't really care. 31 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,320 Really kind of fast to spin up. Most of this was done today in like a few hours, which is great. 32 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:44,880 So we should be able to scale this to as many GoPro's as we want, and hopefully, you know, 33 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,440 they're still pretty cheap. 200 bucks, something like that. What's the plan? Like how many, like 34 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,200 where else are we going to put? I don't know. 3D printers, it'd be great to monitor the fuse. 35 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,200 It also allows us to put it on machines that would run overnight or something like that, 36 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,160 and add cameras to things that don't necessarily always have cameras. And then of course, 37 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,680 we can also get footage from them. So I'm thinking about something like an NVR, which would be a 38 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,000 traditional kind of security platform. If you want to think about these as security cameras, 39 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,320 they record footage all the time, and they can also do detections or anything like that, 40 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,240 so maybe you don't care about footage that's overnight until something moves, 41 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,360 and then it starts recording if we want to save space. But yeah, I don't know. So theoretically, 42 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,320 we could do this with 20, 50 of these. We could have one on every single 3D printer. It would be 43 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,200 kind of neat, and we can see all of them on one panel, like a traditional security NVR. So yeah, 44 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,160 neat. It's like FNAF. It's basically FNAF. I don't know. Would Seb be Freddy? 45 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:54,080 Maybe Bonnie? I don't know. Seb gives Freddy vibes. Yeah, he's the leader of the horrific 46 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,280 murdering animals. Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, that's pretty cool. Is there a project that's 47 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,040 going to be reused for this, or is it? I have no idea. Somebody, I think it was Andy, was basically 48 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,920 just like, I want this thing, and I don't want to deal with this later, so I figured I would just 49 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,240 do it, find a solution that we could execute immediately within a day or two, and then move 50 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,760 on to the hundreds of other things I have to deal with. Also, there was something wrong. It's more 51 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,920 like, hey, this would be a good feature to have. Yeah, this has been talked about for a while, 52 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,040 and I haven't really been able to figure out a good way to do it, because the unified camera 53 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,200 as great as the NVR is, and as great as the footage is, getting it in a workable state requires a 54 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,600 whole bunch of weird scripting, and the footage that comes out of it needs to be reconverted, 55 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,440 and it's very difficult to find what you need, all that sort of stuff, so we needed to get a 56 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:58,000 different solution, and then, okay, well, I don't really want to buy cameras to do a feasibility 57 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,320 study on this, so I thought, okay, will we do GoPro's, and then I would try and figure out something. 58 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,080 The fact that they can stream is really good, and if they can stream, that means I can get a video 59 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,000 feed, which means I can pretty much do whatever I need with them, which is great. This is very 60 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,760 similar to what we're going to do at Smashchamps. Sony sent us these neat little cameras. These are 61 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:25,840 the, I don't know what they're called, these are the SRG-XP1, and these are kind of one of their 62 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:32,160 professional line IP cameras, so they're PoE-powered, you just take a single Ethernet cord in there, 63 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,720 and then that's it, so that powers them, and these will do 4K 60 frames a second over Ethernet 64 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,840 or DMP destination, so very similar to what we're doing here, and we're going to have 14 of these, 65 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,280 I think, these are currently my favorite in Smashchamps, so if we want to do more like 66 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:53,760 recording around the office, these are teeny tiny, you know, they fit in your hands, 67 00:05:53,760 --> 00:06:00,400 they're almost, they're smaller than our 21 ounce water bottle, lttdstore.com, they're really nice, 68 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,280 they're really robust, they're self-assigning, so you just have the IP tool and then they're good to go, 69 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,680 but this would be another idea as well, although these cost 100 times as much as GoPro. 70 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,880 And we don't want to just have them lying around randomly like GoPro's. 71 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,000 No, exactly, I mean I have one of these and I know they work, but this is a completely 72 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,440 overkill thing, I think these are like three grand or something, but they perform like they're 73 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,360 three grand, they're absolutely amazing, really cool, super wide angle too, I think it's 105 degrees, 74 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,720 that's what all the tape is on my wall here, so there's a piece of tape behind you, Sammy, 75 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:46,560 on the wall there. That one? Yeah, and then so the Sony will come to here with no lens distortion 76 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,960 correction and from where you're standing right now. Let me just so people can see how far it is. 77 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,000 Yeah, so that's all the way over here and to that tape piece over there from right here, 78 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,040 that's where the camera was, which is like, you know, it's just very wide angle, it's a wide 79 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,360 trust us, like extremely, so these things are great, they capture the whole court and everything 80 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,880 like that, very very similar kind of to a GoPro, but way better lens, but yeah these are these are 81 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,560 great, I think this will be fun, basically now I can stop thinking about it and think about 82 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,520 other things, I got that stream tomorrow, BC Children's Hospital stream, that'll be fun, 83 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,560 that's going to be 12 hours probably, maybe more. Should we ask Sebastian to wave at us 84 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,400 so that we know it's not fake? Yeah, sure, I'll give him a call, hopefully he's not too busy. 85 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,720 Yeah, we gotta debunk all the haters, they're on full plan, which is zero actually. The floaters, 86 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:47,520 well I mean they lie, you don't use Firefox. That's up to your reference, shout out. 87 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:57,280 Shout out Luke and his Firefox haters. Hello? Okay, sorry I was just shooting a thing on these 88 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,000 cameras with Sammy, do you want to give us a wave on the doormark so that we know it's not fake, 89 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,240 because all of the float playing people think that we're liars. Slash S. 90 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:20,960 Oh, here he comes, here he comes. Hi, Seb. Yeah, thanks so much. Enjoy your uh, enjoy your math. 91 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:29,120 Have a good one. Bye, Seb. Yay. Enjoy your redacted project that I can't even know about. Redacted, 92 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,400 it's redacted. Wait, so is there any like any like delays on it or anything like that or is 93 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,520 it just like? It's pretty real time, I've got about a five second delay right now, but that kind of 94 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,320 deals with the, I don't know, any notifications or something like that that might come through. 95 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,880 I think this is probably quite real time. This system that I have right now is probably 96 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,040 a quarter second, a hundred million latency, maybe? It's not bad, yeah. It's not bad at all, 97 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:03,680 but yeah, this is really nice, having the QR codes and that's kind of enough to make me go like, 98 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,360 no, I want this, because Tynan wanted a huge, like a button and at any time they wanted to 99 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,600 record something neat that they would just do that, but now you can just grab a GoPro and go boop, 100 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,800 and then it'll automatically connect to the network, it'll automatically self-assign its 101 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,760 RTMP IP and all that sort of stuff and then just go, which is awesome. So we can dot these everywhere 102 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,800 and that'll be great. Thanks for sharing. You're very welcome. Hi, Bill. 103 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,800 I hate it. I just, I hate it. Get out of here, Sammy. I'm sorry. I love you. Bye.
