You’d be surprised how much can be done at the edge with current cameras. I’m not sure exactly how these particular ones are set up, but the other major players in the space (Axis,Bosch,Panasonic) all have pretty surprising levels of local compute dedicated to “AI”, and leveraging external VMS platforms can exponentially increase capabilities. It’s pretty idiot proof once set up, as it’s aimed at desk jockies that monitor and report with minimal systems training.
Again, not this specific system but this stuff is far from sci-fi anymore.
Depends on the game/publisher. Depending on the anticheat it can be as simple as enabling Linux/Proton support on the dev’s side with a flag.
I can’t play Destiny 2 with my Destiny obsessed friend, that’s about all I’ve been impacted. Didn’t really get into it anyway. I don’t even check ProtonDB anymore before buying new games, they almost all work flawlessly these days.
