Christmas wish list

If anyone has something like this on their Christmas wish list let me know.



 

Thermal camera trap



It's my new camera product, a Raspberry Pi 5 running in secure boot mode with an encrypted nvme drive, together with a very high quality 640x512 resolution thermal imaging core with advanced in-core detail enhancement, a very small 8MP camera and a 4G USB stick. All bundled with my feature rich security state machine software StalkedByTheState, triggered by a high quality 18 million parameter yolov6 AI object detector model.



Features include:



Perform high quality object detection at 1 fps, trigger video alerts or snapshots

Establish a VPN back to base to allow remote data retrieval/live viewing

Control local relays for human wildlife conflict mitigation responses (With external USB connected devices)

High resolution Optical camera for daytime, thermal camera for day and night.

and much more.



For images from the thermal camera, see this discussion:

I have several wish lists for Christmas ;))) but not exactly this one, my is also at least 2 raspberry pis 5 with at least 4GB or memory to run yolo 11 easily to detect microorganisms and pests on microscope plates and sticky papers :))))) I'm also considering a Elikliv Autofocus 4K HDMI Digital Microscope, EM4K-AF Flex or alike to capute the yellow sticky paper images, but I don't know exactly which one to get since I need to capture small insects (Thrips) and several bigger ones. Nowadays we are using a digital microscope, but this is very costly, we have to take around 60 pictures and then process them, If I could just scan them with a scanner for example or high resolution sensor, would be so much better :)))) I think I will start a discussion to see who can help me find my Christmas with list too.
